NER January 26, 2018 PRESS RELEASE On behalf of Coach Wasson and his family, I want to first express our sincere appreciation for the incredible outpouring of support he has received from the Southlake Carroll community, the Texas High School Coaches Association and his fellow coaches from Texas and across the nation. It has been truly overwhelming. Coach Wasson has asked me to say, “Thank you and he appreciates your friendship” To be honest, Coach Wasson was stunned when the Carroll ISD Administration informed him that he was being placed on administrative leave. From the day he was hired as Head Football Coach and Boy’s Athletic Coordinator at Southlake Carroll, Coach Wasson has worked tirelessly to build a successful program founded on character, integrity and respect. Over the past eleven years, the Southlake Carroll Dragons have enjoyed tremendous success on the playing field, but more importantly, Coach Wasson and his staff have always endeavored to do things the right way. As coaches, they have tried to treat all of their players with dignity and respect. I noticed that Dr. Faltys mentioned the importance of “core values”. I can assure you that instilling “core values” in his players is at the heart of everything Coach Wasson and his coaches do as a program every single day While Coach Wasson is understandably embarrassed about being placed on involuntary leave, he actually welcomes the scrutiny of the Dragon program and his actions as Head Football Coach. I can assure you that he intends to cooperate fully with the District during this investigation. Hopefully, the outcome will be driven by facts and not politics or personal agendas. In closing, Coach Wasson has asked me to implore the Carroll ISD community to not allow this investigation to become divisive. The focus must remain and always be the children of the District. Despite the fact that Coach Wasson wishes this situation had been handled differently, he actually looks forward to defending himself and his program during this process
