Ocean Lakes football coach Chris Scott has given speeches after big victories and tough losses.
But nothing could prepare him for what he faced Wednesday when he told a room full of players that their playoff hopes were gone.
"It was one of the most difficult things that I ever had to do as a coach and as a person," Scott said after telling his players the school's appeal of six forfeits was denied by the Virginia High School League. "The decision that was rendered was something that they aren't happy with and that they're extremely disappointed with because they haven't done anything wrong."
