JV Football Coach Makes Losing Team Lie on Graves

A JV football coach in the Syracuse area falls a little short in the "Win-one-for-the-Gipper" department: After a loss this weekend, the Marcellus coach stopped the team bus at a cemetery and made his players lie atop graves for several minutes, reports the Syracuse Post-Standard. Jim Marsh's message: See, these dead people would love the chance to get up and play, unlike you sorry Mustangs. Now, arise and resurrect your season! Instead of getting inspired, players got the heebie-jeebies and told their parents. The district is investigating. (More high school sports stories.)
