Y2CJ41 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 From the WTF files.... http://www.wlfi.com/dpps/news/strange/nd-team-exposed-to-raccoon-pulled-from-tournament-ob11-jgr_3713611 Raccoon encounter ends tourney for team ND team exposed to raccoon pulled from tournament Updated: Monday, 07 Feb 2011, 8:53 AM EST Published : Monday, 07 Feb 2011, 8:53 AM EST GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) - A raccoon has ended a North Dakota team's bid for a fourth consecutive regional championship in high school wrestling. The Carrington High School team was pulled from Saturday's tournament when officials discovered the athletes had been exposed to a live raccoon. Grafton Police Sgt. Anthony Dumas says the team picked up what members thought was a dead raccoon on the way to the tournament in Grafton and stowed in the storage area of their bus. Dumas says when the compartment was opened later, the raccoon "just trotted away." The animal didn't scratch or bite anyone, but it's not known whether it had rabies. The Grand Forks Herald reports school officials brought the team home as a precaution. Health officials say there's no risk to athletes who competed against Carrington.

Boot Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 This makes sense, except for this part: "the team picked up what members thought was a dead raccoon on the way to the tournament in Grafton and stowed in the storage area of their bus." 1. Why did they stop for a dead raccoon? 2. Why did they put it on the bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthmatt Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 We can all learn a valuable lesson here. Do NOT pick up road kill and put it with the team bags of the vehicle you are traveling in on the way to a wrestling tournament. If you want to pick up the road kill, come back and get it after the wrestling tournament. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
