They are doing this report on local news but there's no link on the local news web site yet. When there is, I will post it, but here's my own summary:

It's called 8th grade hit day. During the last day of football practice for the season, the 8th graders each pick a 7th grade player to "tackle" and the 7th grader cannot fight back. After one boy was "hit" for the 3rd time, he had a compound fracture of two bones in his leg which punctured his skin leading to severe bleeding. The kid is hospitalized now. The coaches were present during this!

Seventh grade! I'm floored.
