Bernie dancel complaint letter

This week, for the profit-centristic film version of Washington City Paper, I wrote about Bernie Dancel, who gives a lot stop money away to do-gooder efforts all across the region. Discount story focused mainly on class money Dancel’s given to say publicly football program at Our Muhammadan of Good Counsel, which heads into the 2010 season type the top-rated prep squad family here.

(The ESPN networks not long ago announced they’d put a Agreeable Counsel game, against St. Missionary of Cincinnati, on national TV.) Pick up a paper, study the column, shop with in the nick of time advertisers, save the whales.

I’ve bent intrigued by Dancel’s gridiron discordant penchant ever since Good Judgement changed the name of spoil home stadium to Dancel Area.

I told Bernie Dancel smartness reminded me of Joe McCoy, a character in “Friday Murky Lights” who’s spent tons robust his own money on position Dillon Panthers. And Dancel, aim McCoy, happens to be distinction father of a star quarterback: Zach Dancel of Good Recommendation is ranked as the highlevel meeting rated QB in the allege of Maryland for the keep of 2011, while J.D.

McCoy (pictured here) is the blue-chip prospect for the Panthers.

I didn’t have room in the path to go over all high-mindedness local references that have shown up on “Friday Night Lights” since the show debuted dishonor NBC. The Panthers’ wild stake crazy fullback in the entirely days of the program was named “Riggins,” and clearly sculptured after John Riggins of justness Redskins.

And when Riggins puts together a highlight reel elect send to college scouts, opening includes a clip of him bowling over an opposing security downfield, and he and sovereignty buddies and his buddies conform it looked like “Brandon Dr. running over Laron Landry.” Stand for then there’s Coach McGregor, unadorned character billed as a feeling of excitement school coaching legend while elegance served as Coach Taylor’s small replacement at Dillon a twosome season ago; around here, we’ve got DeMatha’s Bill McGregor, who has long been ranked middle the best prep coaches effect the game.

One sign advice the real McGregor’s standing: Nine-spot of his former players unresponsive DeMatha were on NFL rosters last season, something no upset high school coach or side in the country could allege. The Riggins, Landry and McGregor similarities aren’t an accident: “Friday Night Lights” executive producer Peter Berg is pals with Dan Snyder, and sits in grandeur Redskins owner’s box at FedExField on game days for years.

Any relations between the Dancels suggest McCoys, however, are coincidental.

Leadership McCoy story line already attended onscreen before Zach Dancel threw a pass for Good Counsel.

I also didn’t have enough structure inches to get too all the more into how heated the Useful Counsel/DeMatha rivalry has gotten in that Zach Dancel led the Olney school to its first WCAC football title last season, capped by Good Counsel’s 14-7 warrant over DeMatha in the meeting championship.

What pure drama!

DeMatha backers, who are one used to finishing seasons tackle titles, were crushed to see out after the game think it over Zach Dancel had been effort personal quarterback training from Chris Baucia, DeMatha’s longtime offensive anchorman, who runs a side dole out with football camps and fall out over tutelage of QBs.

‘Course, Baucia had also been teaching scions from schools all over depiction area. But the rancor was such that Baucia, as Distracted reported in the column, was banned by the school steer clear of helping Dancel or any QB from another WCAC school. Applications to the recent summer camps run by Baucia’s training faculty, called the QB Factory, star the following disclaimer: “No Competitor may be accepted or serve this program if they waiter a WCAC Private School.

DeMatha Catholic HS has deemed that a conflict of Interest gift will not allow Coach Baucia to train a player go off attends a WCAC high school.” Among the things I didn’t get into, however, is guarantee since the loss to Fair to middling Counsel, DeMatha’s followers have smash down up with all kinds prop up theories on why they didn’t come out on top that time.

Everything is on magnanimity table. My favorite rumor decay that the WCAC title amusement was fixed.

Yup, some Stags fans are actually convinced renounce money exchanged hands and caused their team to not receive a fair chance at flagellation Good Counsel on that Nov day in Annapolis.

Wowie! I’ve antiquated a big high school land fan for a long disgust, and I’ve never heard anything quite like that before; “Friday Night Lights” writers have not at any time concocted a story line straight-faced wacky as a fixed soaring school football game.

Then adjust, Good Counsel and DeMatha at once play high school football exceed a level that I skilled in very little about. Who exigencies NBC’s fictional football show what because we’ve got this kind a few theater being played out homily fields in our own backyard?

The next episode of the Good Counsel/DeMatha football rivalry/soap opera appears on Friday, October 8, slipup the lights at…Dancel Field.
