Fake Wayne Hills Football Flier Causes Controversy

WAYNE, NJ — A fake flier for a Wayne Hills summer football camp that was reportedly created by anonymous adults calls the Patriot coaches cheaters.

Adults allegedly created and distributed the flyer around town, but Patch could not find it hanging at any local business, township building or public area, including near Wayne Hills High School.

The flyer was also distributed via text messages, according to one person.

Superintendent Mark Toback and head football coach Wayne Demikoff denounced the fliers. Demikoff said, "has doctored the flier that is for a camp we run at Wayne Hills for kids in the summertime."

The football camp is not a school-sponsored activity, Toback said.

The flyer states that the camp "will be staffed by some of the best cheaters in the business" and that players will "develop the tools necessary to cheat your way through life."

The flyer falsely quotes Patriots head football coach Wayne Demikoff as saying, "If you can't beat them cheat them."

The flyer states the camp is sponsored by Darren Del Sardo Esq. and Kevin Olsen and that for more information people should contact Joe Lane, a former Wayne Hills player.

Del Sardo is a former Wayne Board of Education trustee. He defended the Hayek family during a residency controversy that saw the team get banned from the postseason. The team was later reinstated. Hills beat Valley in a very close, hard fought 31-24 overtime win in the state sectional title game in December.

Del Sardo also represented one of the nine Wayne Hills football players arrested after police said they assaulted two Wayne Valley players after a Halloween party in 2011. Although those players were banned from the championship game, the Patriots won their eighth group championship.

Olsen was a four-star quarterback and the highly-recruited son of former Hills coach Chris Olsen. He bounced around colleges before landing at UNC Charlotte. He was charged with three counts of forcible rape after a women he was dating claims he sexually assaulted her. Demikoff was promoted to head coach after Chris Olsen retired.
