Last Friday, Wayne Hills beat Wayne Valley in the Section I, Group III quarterfinals, 48-0. Wayne Valley football coach Brian O’Connor was taken aback when told of post-game quotes emanating from the Hills campus.
The Hills quotes, most of which came from coach Chris Olsen, were reported in a various media outlets. None of these outlets ran O’Connor's reply. Olsen, among other things, said that “the proof is in the pudding. There’s no doubt who the better team is."
WayneSports.com felt that O’Connor’s voice should be heard. Here’s what he said on Sunday:
"I was so disgusted that I couldn't bring myself to read the papers, so this is the first I’m hearing it. Obviously, it’s accurate to say that they (Hills) are the better team. Unfortunately, I can’t deny that after what happened the other night. If it’s true that their kids said ‘we’re better,’ then that’s fine. Kids are kids and they sometimes speak out of emotion. But if an adult says ‘we’re the better team’ on television or through the papers, that’s a lot different. Again, it is an accurate point. But to say so in a public forum is arrogant, demeaning and disrespectful to our kids.”
