As we mentioned earlier, the freshman’s mother mentioned to coach McElroy the fact that the upperclassman was calling her son those insulting names. This incident could have been foreseeable by the coaches, and possibly the administration, if the coach reported anything to the principal and athletic director.

Junior girls were beaten, splattered with paint, and had mud and feces thrown in their faces. Five of the girls ended up in the hospital, one with a broken ankle and another with 10 stiches to their head. "I guess there was some football involved, but then it was pushing, punching, hitting, putting buckets on heads … showering people with debris and, according to one report, human excrement," said Northfield Township District 225 Superintendent Dave Hales.
