The Marine League football coaches have united in their stance against Narbonne, emphasizing, 'Our programs deserve an even playing field, and we believe these steps are necessary to restore the principles of fairness, safety, and competition within our league.' This highlights their growing concern over what they perceive as unethical practices affecting their athletes' environment.
Banning coach Raymond Grejada stated, 'The Marine League is coming together for a good reason,' indicating that this collective action is driven not just by competition, but by a commitment to the athletes' welfare and integrity of the game.
The controversy surrounding Narbonne isn't new; the school faced a ban from playoffs in 2019 due to an ineligible player, and with recent player additions, coaches are apprehensive about what they call an 'unfair advantage' in the league.
LAUSD provided a brief response, asserting that it is aware of the allegations regarding Narbonne and pledging to collaborate with CIF to assess any findings, but warned that the City Section does not support the coaches' boycott.
