- Kansas, USA -
The Valley Center school district has suspended the high school varsity baseball team’s season due to an active law enforcement investigation centered around possible animal cruelty.
KSNW reports that on Monday, April 22, 2024, the district sent out the following message to all Valley Center High School families:
“The Valley Center High School varsity baseball season has been suspended due to an active law enforcement investigation. High school administrators were alerted to an incident of possible animal cruelty involving the entire Hornet varsity baseball team and the entire coaching staff on USD 262 property. Immediately upon learning of the incident, high school and district leadership notified the appropriate authorities and suspended the season. A decision regarding the remainder of the baseball season will be made pending the outcome of the investigation.”
Details of the possible animal cruelty have not been released.
I have emailed the Valley Center Police Department to inquire about the investigation but Chief Lloyd Newman said: “We are still very early in the investigation and gathering information.”
