Our community has been deeply affected by the recent parting of a football coach, Michael Mangusso, who has served our program for nearly a decade. Coach Mangusso, who is more than just a mentor to my son and hundreds of other student athletes, was let go without proper reasoning or transparency. His influence extends beyond the field; he instills morals and values in our children, guiding them to be their best selves and encouraging them to contribute positively to our community.

Over his tenure, Mike's impact on the football program has been nothing short of transformative. He led us through countless victories and losses alike with grace and resilience. His leadership not only improved team performance but also fostered an environment where students could grow as individuals.

The abrupt parting of such an influential figure raises questions about transparency within our sport community. We believe that someone who has dedicated so much time and effort into shaping young lives deserves better treatment.

We call upon the relevant authorities of the NBIAA to reconsider this decision or at least provide clear justification for it. We owe it to our children, we owe it to ourselves as a community that values fairness, transparency, and dedication.

Please sign this petition if you believe in justice for this dedicated coach whose positive influence on young lives cannot be overstated.
