Moderator: By obfuscation and refusing to let the local community know the facts, the public has concluded the Hughson High School football hazing scandal is so much worse than it was.

So what did happen? Beats me. The school’s administration still is talking with both hands covering the mouth. The Stanislaus County police have been equally uncooperative with Fox 40 media.

We do know Coach George Harp was missing from the sideline for last night’s game against Ripon High School.
