County 'deserves better' than coach's example set in cheating scandal

I want to communicate my feelings concerning the coach Jody Grooms/Lakeside High School illegal play:

Columbia County's school leaders have always demanded high standards of conduct for all of their employees, and coaches, teachers and principals have been fired for far less serious infractions than that committed by Grooms.

Students and athletes at Lakeside, as well as the residents of Columbia County, deserve a much better example of ethical conduct, fair play and good sportsmanship than Grooms has shown.
