Take a leak on the infield during the national anthem? Sure, why not?

It’s moments before Powell Valley High’s big baseball game with Pound High (Big Stone Gap, VA) on April 30, and all the players and fans rise to honor our country as they play the National Anthem. This is when one Powell Valley player decides it would be a good idea to take a whizz … right on the infield.
Perry said he was not sure if the American flag was raised in the outfield with players’ backs to the stands, “but many members of the audience did not see this.”
“I won’t say it was discreet, because (something like this) can never be discreet.”
The student, who was allegedly dared to the act, has a clean record up to this point, according to Perry.
The player, who was not named, is being “disciplined.” Bonus: Reporting the story for the Kingsport Times-News; Rain Smith.
UPDATE: The whizzer has been named. And his father’s a coach at the school.
