Fourteen dead animals were found on a Ross High School softball field by an assistant coach.

The bodies of skunks, raccoons, rabbits, cats and a ground hog were placed in positions that players would take on the field, school athletic director Art Bucci said.

The gates to the school's fields were locked when the coach made the discovery Friday, and police found no signs of forced entry.

The team found its cars covered in toilet paper and shaving cream upon returning from a game at Lima on Thursday night, police reports show. Bucci believes it was a prank by other students.

Fremont is about 30 miles southeast of Toledo.
