Spoke to Capital High football coach Jon Carpenter re: Kerry Martin& #39;s social media post and allegations against WVU DC Vic Koenning: "Neal Brown told me that [Martin] said I told him that somebody had a "slave owner" mentality. 100 percent no. I never told him that."
More from Carpenter: "I& #39;m heartbroken and shocked. Heartbroken that Kerry could feel that way. I think I speaking for everybody that coaches with us, but that& #39;s new that he felt that way. It almost feels like a train wreck that I wish we could have got out in front of."
"It& #39;s hard because I love Kerry Martin. Nobody would care two cents about Jon Carpenter the football coach if it wasn& #39;t for people like Kerry Martin. I think you& #39;ve known me long enough to know that I& #39;ve burned all my bridges in WV high school football speaking out on racism."
"I told Neal Brown that if I knew it was going on I& #39;d be the first person in the car driving up there to throw rocks through windows. I& #39;m shocked because Vic Koenning has aggravated me to death since COVID started. Five or six phone calls to make sure Kerry is fed."
Last thing from Carpenter: "I just hope that they all get together in the same room and talk it out."
