The 5th Grade Randolph Bulldogs and their parents are devastated. When we heard the news that our beloved Coach LoVerde was told he could not lead the kids anymore, we were shocked. We were more shocked when we heard that 6th grade and up coaches were grandfathered in. This sounds like a “pick and choose who gets to coach” rule. Whether it is about a personal issue or politics, those petty differences do not belong in rec football and the kids should not have to suffer for it. Coach LoVerde is loved by the kids and the parents alike. He is supportive, kind, fun, and tough when he has to be. He inspires love and respect - AND he knows football. He treats each child like he is his own and to take that away from these kids would be a travesty. BRING HIM BACK. We demand it.
