Yeah, and Darby won the game, too

I came across this BoingBoing article mentioning Hilliard Davidson and Hilliard Darby high schools. I live about 500 yards from Darby High School (as the crow, etc.) and have family members and friends who attended there. I also have a nephew who graduated from Davidson. Apparently a Davidson senior arranged to have a bunch of black and white cards placed in the Darby stands that spelled out "WE SUCK" that the unsuspecting Darby fans dutifully displayed during the game.

I hadn't heard about the prank, but I did hear that Darby won the game. This, coming after Davidson won the state football title last year. Despite the "legendary" stature of the prank, Darby got their revenge:

Stephen Bell, a Darby freshman, said he was facing the field Friday night. So he missed the big moment.

"It was sneaky, knifing and downright clever," he said yesterday as he walked to football practice.

"But we'll get them back."

In one sense, Darby already did -- the team won Friday night's game, 21-10, ending Hilliard Davidson's winning streak. Davidson was the Division I state champion last year, having won all 15 games.
