Ohio High School Player Pricks Opposing Team With Tack, Sends 27 To The Hospital (VIDEO)

This is poor sportsmanship at its finest.

Following Washington Court House High School's 26-0 rout of McLain High, 27 members of the losing team found themselves in the hospital, according to NBC Sports. The reason had nothing to do with injuries suffered during the game, but instead with poor sportsmanship immediately following it.

According to Yahoo's Prep Rally blog, a number of McLain players had to be administered tetanus shots after one player on the winning team placed a spike in his glove that pricked them. The object, believed to be a tack, forced all 27 of the pricked players to seek vaccination.

"We walked across the 50-yard line and supposedly one of the guys had tacks in his glove. Nobody knew about it. I was far back enough in the line that everyone started to turn around and I got out of the way," Michael Aeh, a McClain football player told Fox 4.

Oddly enough, the player apparently responsible for the incident didn't even participate in the game. According to Yahoo, the 16-year-old responsible for the nasty trick had been deemed ineligible and spent the game on the sideline.
