HILLIARD, Ohio (UPI) -- An Ohio high school senior suspended for playing an elaborate prank on a rival school's football fans says he copied a stunt done at Yale University.
At Friday night's game between Darby and Davidson high schools in Hilliard, Darby fans held up squares of black or white construction paper, thinking they were spelling out "Go Darby." The actual message was "We suck."
Kyle Garchar, 17, a Davidson senior, received an in-school suspension and was banned from school activities for a semester for orchestrating the prank. He told The Columbus Dispatch he was trying to think of a memorable senior prank and a friend suggested a trick Yale had once pulled on Harvard.
"I saw it could be done, so I just wanted to see if I could do it," Garchar said.
He spent about 20 "tedious" hours figuring out how to get the desired result.
Darby won the game 21-10. For many Davidson fans, the prank was the best part of the game.
"It's going to be legendary," said Andrew Eusebio, a recent Davidson grad. "No one is going to forget about it."
