Apparently a high school track athlete saw Rollerball a few too many times.
High school track runner gets attacked with a baton in the middle of a relay at the VSHL Class 3 State Indoor Championships. Kaelen Tucker was on the second leg of the 4x200m relay at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA, when she got smacked in the head. Tucker suffered a concussion and a potential skull fracture. "When we got to the curve she kept bumping me in my arm and when we got off the curve I finally passed her and that was when she hit me with the baton," Tucker said. The girl's mother said neither the runner nor the coach apologized for the incident.
It's unclear if Trucker will file charges.
The judges immediately disqualified the team. The unidentified offender competed for IC Norcom High School. Tucker ran for Brookville High School. Tucker had already set a meet record in the 55m dash earlier. WSET reported the school and parent apologized for the offending student.
VSHL said it is investigating the incident.

In Mississippi I believe that would be aggravated assault.
A prime example of no control over one's emotions.
Scholars at play.
A little lesson from taking opponents out in ice skating????
I can’t read a headline anymore without thinking about Saturday Night Live Mid- Day News skit.
