Plainedge High School's football coach, Robert Shaver, was accused of running up the score in a game against South Side High School on 25 October 2019, which ended in a score of 61–13 in favor of Plainedge.^[3][4] As punishment, Shaver was suspended for one game, which resulted in widespread criticism from sports journalists, and an email to all on superintendent Edward Salina's mailing list in support of Shaver.^[5][6]
