Volleyball Team Finds Deer Carcass On Bus

Fri Oct 19, 10:48 AM ET

A girl's high school volleyball team was shocked to find a bloody deer carcass on their bus after a game against a rival.

Members of the Comfort High School Whitetail Deer volleyball team came across the remains of a dead deer after playing a game against Blanco High School. A sister of a Comfort High School student said she believes students from Blanco High School placed the carcass on the bus as a prank.

"That is very inappropriate, I just couldn't believe it," Laura Lozano said. "(My sister) was just so surprised that they would do something like that."

Lozano said the rivalry between the two schools is deeply seated.

"We had actually beat them last year at their homecoming, so I guess that's where a lot of the rivalry really kicked in," she said. Tasha Brieger, a former Blanco student, said she doesn't believe Blanco High School students pulled the prank.

"Blanco's a really close-knit town," she said. "We're pretty easy going, we get along with pretty much anybody and that doesn't sound like something we would do."

A letter of apology was sent to Comfort High School immediately following the incident.

The principal of Blanco High School said he's disappointed and made it clear to students that this type of behavior won't be tolerated.

Dead doe is put inside Comfort Deer bus

In what's being called a rivalry gone overboard, a rotting deer carcass was dumped inside the bus of the visiting Comfort Deer girls volleyball team Tuesday at Blanco High School.

The traumatized Deer players then lost a critical division match to the Panthers, who were cheered on by the crowd bearing signs reading "Kill the Deer" and "Slaughter the Deer."

James Poerner, parent of a Comfort player, said the carcass in the bus is "the most unsportsmanlike act I've ever seen."

He wants Blanco to forfeit the victory and take strong action against the pranksters.

A forfeiture was also called fitting by Deer team captain Maeghan Eckert, saying the prank had a big impact on her squad's performance.

"When you focus on a dead deer that's lying on your bus, it's hard to focus on a game," Eckert, 17, said Wednesday. "The school rivalry got way too out of hand."

She said that before the carcass was discovered, Blanco boys in the gym had shouted, "It smells like dead deer."

Blanco High School Principal Dustin Barton refused comment. Blanco Police Chief Ed Sonier and Game Warden Don Jackson couldn't be reached.

Comfort High School Principal Jadie Matthew described the incident as the misdeed of one person, and said it did not reflect poorly on the entire Blanco district.

Others suspect several people took part as the Comfort junior varsity team was losing.

"There has to be at least a couple of more folks involved to drag that deer and put it up into the bus," said Comfort parent Brian Vaughan.

The 90-pound doe had been shot and "was bloated and stinky," he said. "It was green on the belly from mold."

Vaughan described the Comfort players as "frantic" after two students retrieving homework from the bus made the gruesome find.

But he didn't blame the defeat on the hijinks and said forfeiting the match that put Blanco in first place in District 25-2A would only punish the Panther girls, not those responsible for it.

Poerner said many Blanco students were milling in the parking lot as the Comfort bus drove up. Blanco police Sgt. Carl Bragg, on duty there, said he didn't see — or smell — the deer.

It didn't take a super sleuth to find a suspect once the carcass was found. A bloody trail led from the bus to a nearby pickup with blood in its bed, said Vaughan, a peace officer.

He praised Blanco officials for keeping control of a situation that could have become violent, and for cleaning up the bus.

Comfort kids will be warned against retaliating when the Panthers visit, Matthew said. The principal likes healthy rivalries, but said, "Our goal right now is to make sure things like this doesn't continue."

Kendall County deputies escorted the Deer bus home, underscoring the deep safety concerns of some parents.

"Are we going to allow our kids to go back to Blanco?" Poerner asked. "What's next?"

Teen faces 2 charges in Blanco deer prank

The juvenile charged by a state game warden in connection with the dead deer placed on a visiting high school team's bus Tuesday was a Blanco High School student, Boerne police confirmed Friday.

The boy also was charged Friday with criminal mischief, Blanco Police Sgt. Carl Bragg said. A Texas Parks and Wildlife Department game warden Thursday had charged him with illegal possession of a game animal. Both are Class C misdemeanors.

The deer was found by members of the Comfort High School girls volleyball team, the Comfort Deer, who had arrived on the bus for a match in Blanco. It sparked anger among parents and coaches.

The deer carcass, though decomposing, was intact, Bragg said. The boy probably had help but authorities have been unable to identify anyone else, he said.
"I think there were more people involved, but they're not coming up with names," Bragg said.

We killed a bunch of Coyotes and put them on Old High's front porch 34 years ago. Strung one up on the flag pole. Got questioned over that by the principal. :p Wouldn't have done anything to the girls bus though.

When Gonzales dropped back down to 3A in '98 they did us up pretty good Thursday of that week... there were a couple of dead turkeys lying around, one hanging over the entrance into our stadium and about 7 or so frozen turkeys lying around with stove-top boxes shoved up their rears...

Then in '99 some Yoakum folks threw a tire over our flag pole and then chained a live turkey they had painted blue and white with "YHS" on it to the tire...
