He's all about winning. Brings players in from across the country. Makes roster decisions based on which of his big players is coming in when. There's no way you'd let your kid play for him.
Thinks people hate him for winning. Even compares himself to the cowboys and yankees
There was a podcast last night with this guy and he pretty much said the same about being hated. Lane jr was there with his 2 sons, none of the 3 seemed too upset.

It's been interesting watching J Lane sr. response to all of this. Jr. did transfer from Fort Worth school to Grapevine in August and even Sr. Is saying he isn't sure if he is one of the 3 in question. Don't think those names will be released. More interesting seeing how Jr and Sr have no relationship and Jr refusing to acknowledge Sr, even turning around and walking away at a recent baseball game in Louisiana. Family commenting how would sr expect anything different after being absent with no support over the years. Lots of back and forth on Facebook live. My take is he was probably one of the 3.

They are Lale and Luke. They've been there and live in the district. But he's the one who allegedly recruited the ineligible kids and orchestrated this whole fiasco.
And based on his shenanigans in travel ball he gets no benefit of the doubt.

I'm all for accountability but the UIL is taking away something some of those kids will never get back.
The ineligible player cannot participate , the coach , administrators etc are suspended, reprimanded whatever .
Removing the entire team from the playoffs , I don't agree with.
Hell of a way for players , especially seniors to go out considering they did nothing wrong
Someone in the district admin didn't have a condo/apartment to rent out to his family for $5 a month? That's what the sleazy high school football programs dofightingfarmer09 said:
Everything on Facebook seems to indicate the player was using a district address that was not their actual residence and they lived somewhere else entirely. This is blatantly against the UIL rules. It only gets caught when someone reports it. A few pointing at a player that did not make Varsity as the reporting party, but this is all just Facebook comments.

The adults name is Lale Esquivel. He has one kid with the same name.
I mean who gives a **** about typing someone's name.
