The Slasher

It has been an interesting year for Michael's wrestling team.  Someone has it in for them.  Just before the holidays, someone slipped into the wrestling locker room during a school assembly and used a knife or scissors to slash all of the wrestling clothes.  They cut up all the shoes, headgear, warmups, singlets, and anything else that was left in the room.  The damage totaled $2800, and the police are handling it as a felony.

Then on Saturday morning, someone sent an email saying that Saturday's quad meet was canceled.  The email was apparently sent by a captain's parent and so some boys went back to sleep and others ate a big breakfast.  Someone detected the hoax and so calls went out to all the missing wrestlers, but one of them ate too much and couldn't make weight for his match.  Fortunately, the team was able to defeat all three of the other teams in spite of the turmoil.

Sunday the wrestlers and their parents met at the high school to get an update from the school officer about the harassment and to make plans to prevent further attacks.  The police are using their "elite high tech team" to track down the email sender.  The school is changing the lock on the door to the wrestling room and going to have an adult posted outside the door with a portable radio.
