#128! HS Coach Sex Scandal of the Year? Man Puts on Wig, Fake Fingernails, to Trick Boys Into Thinking He's Female Masseuse - Although the total numbers are off the record pace of 2004 (267) high school coaches seem to be working overtime to come up with new and unique ways to get in trouble with the law. Two weeks ago we had the story of the DC area coach who was allegedly acting as a pimp for a 15-year-old girl. Just last week we had the story (see below) from Texas about a coach who allegedly helped create a secret sex club for senior football players. But Robert Dacey of Massachusetts may have them all beat! According to police Dacey (pictured right in court), who was a coach at Waltham High School and drama teacher at the local middle school, convinced two male students to come back to his home multiple times last year. Once there, the coach told the boys that he had "a friend" who ran a local massage parlor and this guy had a new female masseuse he wanted to "test" before he actually hired her. (Hmm, I guess to a middle schooler that might make sense.) Of course, for the test to be truly fair the boys would have to be blindfolded so as not to be influenced by her beauty, but would be compensated for the less-than-professional work to the tune of $50 each. He then left the room and a little while later the woman would return to give the silent massages . . . which of course lead to sex with the boys, both 8th graders. Why did the boys think it was a woman? They could feel her long fingernails and when she got close enough, they could also feel her long hair. This happened at least three times when the boys were together and a few more times individually. Unfortunately for them, police believe the "female masseuse" (cue the song from "The Crying Game")  was actually Dacey wearing a wig and fake fingernails. This week the former coach pleaded not guilty yesterday to two counts of child rape, two counts of child enticement, and a count of indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or older. (Boston.com)

BadJocks Exclusive: Cheerleader Initiation Gone Wild! - You'd think that the University of South Carolina cheerleaders would take enough crap during the season with a school nickname like "The Gamecocks." So, why would you subject members of your own squad to the humiliation of sucking on a banana that's sticking out of some dude's pants? Sure, at BadJocks we've seen plenty of hazing pictures of women's athletic teams doing various forms of "the sex act", usually involving cucumbers or bananas. And yet, somehow, it still doesn't strike us an an appropriate "team bonding" exercise. Anyway, we were doing some research on the Lawrence North High School cheerleader hazing story and came across these pictures, again from our favorite source for college sports initiation photos, WebShots.com. How could we not share them with our readers? WARNING: Some of the photos in this set may Not be Safe for Work. Click here. (At right, we've replaced the banana--which was a little too "realistic looking" for our tastes--with the face of Cocky, the USC mascot.)

BadJocks Update: Was HS Coach Brawl Related to Lopsided Scores Last Season? - A very observant BadJocks reader (aren't you all?) saw our story earlier this week (below) about a Connecticut HS football coach who punched a rival coach at a pre-season weightlifting event. Reader Tony A. wondered if the reason for the dust up might have been some scores that Coach Jack Cochran and the New London High School team ran up against some opponents last season. (Read our report of an opposing coach "freaking out" and getting arrested after getting behind 40-0 to New London last fall) According to stats at USA Today, Cochran's teams won several games going away last season including wins of 69-14, 77-6 and 90-0. Paybacks a bitch coach. (USA Today)
EARLIER: HS Football Coach Punches Out Rival Coach at Weight-lifting Competition - Jack Cochran, 40, the head football coach at New London High School in Connecticut, was arrested this week on breach of peace charges after he allegedly punched a coach from another school at some kind of weight-lifting event. He and the other coach (they allegedly had a history between them) apparently exchanged words in the weight room and when it moved outside, punches were thrown. According to Christopher Clouet, superintendent of New London Schools, "This has to stop." Ya think? (Boston.com)

Dude! Texas HS Football Players Caught With, Like, 200 lbs of Weed - We usually don't report on stories of high school or college athletes caught with a little "personal use" pot in their cars. If we did, we'd have no time left to write about anything else at this site. But two football players from Texas when above and beyond the call of duty when highway patrol officers pulled them over and found 108 bundles of weed in their SUV, a total of more than 200 pounds of the stuff with a street value of more than $90,000. Said Officer Obvious of the Texas Department of Public Safety, "I'm pretty sure no college or the military is going to let you in to campus or the military, if you have a criminal record." Sleep well tonight Texans, sleep well.  (WOAI)

#127! Another Online Sting Operation, Another Coach Caught - A girl's hockey coach from Minnesota was arrested this week on charges that he traveled all the way to Ohio to have sex with what he thought was a 14-year-old girl he had met on the Internet. Actually it was a couple of middle-aged cops who were doing one of those online stings that have become so common, and yet still so effective. (KARE 11) Thanks to Nicholas L. for the link!

Former NFL Lineman Turned HS Football Coach Resigns After Tackling Smaller Player From Behind at Practice - Details are a little sketchy, but former Carolina Panthers lineman Kevin Donnalley resigned as football coach at Charlotte Christian week after an incident on the field that he's calling "inappropriate disciplinary action against a player." Other reports say the former NFL star--listed at 6'5" and 310 lbs during his playing days--became angry at a little 155 lb defensive back who wouldn't stop a contact drill even after the whistle had blown. According to witnesses, Donnalley took a running start from several yards away and hit his player from behind, knocking him to the ground. When two other players tried to help that guy get up, they were disciplined as well. And now Donnalley is no longer with the team. Ironically, just last month Donnalley and six other former Carolina Panthers were named by prosecutors in a case against Dr. James Shortt as having received illegal performance-enhancing drugs. Delayed 'roid rage, maybe? (Charlotte Observer)

Police Officer Goes on Rampage at Golf Course Over High Greens Fees - Even in South Africa golfers get upset over the high cost of playing the game.

HS Coach Sex Scandal #126! The First Rule of HS Football Sex Club: No Talking About HS Football Sex Club - In one of the strangest stories we've reported about so far this year, a football coach and a former student from Ozen High School in Beaumont, Texas have been indicted by a grand jury for sexual offenses against at least one female student. That in itself would not be that unusual, but testimony from the victim and other students revealed the existence of a secret sex club for football players known as The 3K. That stood for--we're not making this up!--the “Koochie Kissing Klique” (or "klick" or "klub" in some reports). It's alleged that former freshman coach Tommy Floyd Granger and former football star Byron Aaron Bell created the club to provide prominent senior members of the HS football team with access to young girls from the freshman class for sexual favors, primarily oral sex. One young lady joined the club, then had second thoughts several years later and told her mother which launched a police investigation into the matter. Grand jury reports now say that the 3K has been around since at least 2001and authorities allege that both Granger and Bell were believed to have committed sexual acts themselves with the alleged victim in the school's field house, the meeting place for most 3K "exchanges". They also expect other victims to come forward, now that the secret of the 3K has been broken. If convicted, both men could face up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

BadJocks Effect Continues: Newspaper Finds Pictures on Facebook of U of New Mexico Jocks Holding Beers, Talking About Being Drunk - Everyone wants to get into the act now! With college kids set to return to campus in a matter of days, various local media outlets are starting to tap into the online incriminating photo bonanza know as Facebook.com. All you need is an intern with a username and password and a little time to search and almost anyone can hit pay dirt. The most recent example is the Albuquerque Tribune which found dozens of pictures online of University of New Mexico athletes drinking and/or saying things they probably shouldn't. The embarrassed athletic department at NM is investigating the site, including the group "Hard Drinkers, Let's Drink Hard," which featured 28 UNM football players, 11 of whom were under the legal drinking age of 21.
