Think some wacky stuff happens at your school? Probably. But here are some 2008 high school sports oddities from across the country.

And hey, kids: There are several idiotic, hurtful and even criminal incidents documented here. Seeing them in print should serve as a deterrent, not a suggestion.

Here we go:

Pasco, Wash.: The Pasco High girls basketball team's leading scorer tore knee ligaments jumping up and down celebrating her winning shot in the district playoffs.

Southport, N.C.: A judge ruled that the parents of a teen-ager who married her 40-year-old high school track coach could not sue the school district. The coach resigned from South Brunswick High in June 2007, on the same day he married the 16-year-old.

Dearborn, Mich.: A Fordson High wrestling coach was dismissed after 35 years amid allegations that his former assistant tried to convert Muslim students to Christianity.

Canton, Ga.: The stadium announcer for Sequoyah High football came under fire for comments he made during a game, including, "You can boo all you want, but you're still losing 49-0."

Katy, Texas: Seven Morton Ranch High varsity cheerleaders grabbed junior varsity cheerleaders from their homes, blindfolded them, bound their hands and threw them in a swimming pool. The school suspended cheerleading for the school year.

Nacogdoches, Texas: For a pep rally skit, Nacogdoches High cheerleaders dressed as cheerleaders from a rival squad. The "rival" cheerleaders were forced to kneel and be executed by Nacogdoches cheerleaders wielding toy guns. The principal called the performance a "simple, innocent satire."

Plainwell, Mich.: A Plainwell High football coach was dismissed after allegations that he allowed hazing during a freshman football practice. The letter issued to parents about the incident said that "at issue was the term `skullhumping' whereby a tackler adds a `pelvic thrust' at the end of a tackle."

Lewisberry, Pa.: Upon reporting to school for preseason conditioning, a Red Land High football coach and players discovered a deer carcass propped up and chained to a turnstile. The deer was wearing a white muscle shirt, shorts and a graduation cap atop its headless body and had a football stuffed between its legs.

St. Mary's, Kan.: A female high school basketball referee who showed up to work a boys game at St. Mary's Academy was told by a school official that he could not allow a woman to be put in a position of authority over boys. The other official assigned to work the game, a man, walked off the court with his partner as a sign of solidarity.

Bethel, Vt.: Whitcomb High boys basketball players told their coach by phone on a Saturday that they did not want to play in their first-round playoff game Monday. "We just decided enough was enough," one player said. Sixteenth-seeded Whitcomb (3-16) was set to face top-seeded Proctor (18-0), a team that had beaten Whitcomb 87-22 earlier in the season.

Charlotte, N.C.: A couple rented out their $2.8 million home to buy a $737,000 home in another district three miles away so their son could start at quarterback for South Mecklenburg High.

Groveland, Fla.: A melee broke out after a fuse blew and a football game between South Lake and Nature Coast was plunged into darkness. Five players and a coach were suspended for their roles in the on-field brawl. According to a report filed about the incident, "for a few seconds after the blackout there was no activity on the field. We could then hear players beginning to hit each other."

Novato, Calif.: Because of repeated incidents of inappropriate fan behavior by parents, San Marin High officials drew up code-of-conduct contracts for athletes' parents.

Springboro, Ohio: Private donors funded a Springboro High boys basketball locker room that includes custom-made royal blue and white carpet with the school logo, wooden lockers with lockable personal drawers, a 10-foot TV, a Wii video game system and a hardwood entryway that when completed will be a replica of the floor the team plays on.

Provo, Utah: A newspaper photographer whose leg was pierced by a javelin that came through the other side photographed his injury before being taken to the hospital. "If I didn't, it would probably be my editor's first question when I got back," he said.

Rialto, Calif.: Poisonous, powerful stinging South American fire ants set up moundlike colonies on the Rialto High football and baseball fields, preventing the school's athletic teams from using them.

Ann Arbor, Mich.: Thirteen Huron High boys lacrosse players, including a creative suitor, were suspended for writing "Will You Go to The Prom With Me? Yes or No?" on their backsides and then mooning a female classmate at a game. The girl accepted the invitation by patting the lower back of the boy with "Yes" on his butt.

Flower Mound, Texas: Two students who dressed in gorilla and banana costumes and sprinted down the field at a homecoming football game spent 16 hours in jail for trespassing. "We were in there with people on drug charges," the gorilla said. "When they asked what we did, they said: `Seriously?' "

Oklahoma City: On the night that Bishop McGuinness debuted its newly renovated gym, a $4 million project, one of the home players shattered a backboard on a dunk attempt.

Cartersville, Ga.: Stephens County High was fined $1,000 and its baseball program was placed on "severe warning status" after the team's catcher dropped to his knees, ducked and did not attempt to catch a pitch that struck the home plate umpire in the face mask.

Pewaukee, Wis.: Several New Berlin Eisenhower High junior varsity football players were under investigation for urinating beside the field during halftime of a game at Pewaukee High. "I don't think it was a matter of intentional exposure," a school official said. "I think it was a matter of intentional relief."
