BOERNE, Texas - Police say four teens caused "extensive" damage to two athletic fields at Boerne-Champion High School overnight Tuesday.

Lt. Steve Perez says after midnight the teens cut the lock on a gate and drove a truck on the football and soccer fields. A surveillance camera caught the vehicle on video during its path of destruction. He said the football field never had never seen a single play.

"The Boerne school district, the athletics department, parents of athletics had money donated to get that field going," Lt. Perez said.  "That field was started from scratch and this was going to be the first year to play on it."

Officers spotted the truck in Boerne around lunch time Tuesday, and the teen later confessed to the crime he said.  The 16-year-old driver could face a criminal trespass and criminal mischief charge.

Lt. Perez said the four teens attend Boerne High School, but the prank wasn't because of school rivalry.

"There was nothing given for why they did it aside from being teenagers and mischievous," he said. 

The school district was still tallying up the damage.

Oh, and furthermore, is there NOT a midnight curfew? Be home by midnight, or the car will be taken away...FOREVER! Come on parents, wake up and do your jobs as parents and teach your children

This just goes to show that little boys, don't need to be driving big trucks. I REALLY think the driving age should be raised to 18, NOT that that would make much of a difference, but it might help somewhat. They need to suspend these boys licenses and make them work their a$$es off to pay for or repair this damage. That is ridiculous. Spoiled little Boerne brats!

@Lervia, Oh I agree about Obama he is certainly doing his part to add to the misery. Talk about lies, Bush and company put us in the abyss with lies about weapons of mass destruction in order to start the Iraq war which is total BS. Remember Clinton left Bush with a surplus thanks to PAYGO he created. The Republicans got control of the Senate in 2002 voted PAYGO out and added 5 trillion to the deficit. Bush was chastized cause he took a surplus and turned it into a deficit. To me we need to throw them all out and start over.

@DrPhil: No, I can't say that I remember this much anger and resentment towards a sitting president, but I can also say that I don't remember one more deserving. Chastise me if you want, but you've got to admit that the lies and deceit of the current POTUS and his Administration and CZARS are extreme. And, be careful about one point: To quote you, "But if memory serves me correctly, any other sitting president who has not done a good job has not been this chastized." George W. Bush certainly falls into the category of being chastized as much or more that Barack H. Obama. The hatred and vitriol aimed at him is over the top. Can you not agree on that point? I do NOT believe that the opposition to BHO is a racial issue for the vast majority opposing him. BHO is a Socialist at the least, and a liar at the best. We're all going to find fault with POTUS' that don't live up to our expectations or cost us in the pocket, but this one is to the extreme, and his track record of being a liar gives him a medal!!! Please understand, there is absolutely NOTHING racist in my thinking or opinions. I don't see people in regard to their skin color. I see people with regard to their character, honesty, responsibility, reliability, and intelligence, especially as a leader. I've always been this way, which I will admit didn't always sit well with all members of my family, generaltionally especially. I will NEVER apologize for who and what I am, because I'm NOT racist, arrogant, ignorant, and more. Yea, I'll admit to impatience with other bloggers that DO fall into that category and slipping into the name calling and anger posts, but..............I'm human and imperfect. Obama will be the destruction of this country and our freedoms if he is not voted out of office in November, and I'm horribly afraid him even beyond that. I believe that his ultimate goal is head of the UN, and head of the world. He MUST be stopped!!!!! No, I am not crazy. Think about it.

@Lervia, when can you remember so much anger and resentment towards a sitting president....who just happens to be black? I think Obama has not done an admirable job. But if memory serves me correctly, any other sitting president who has not done a good job has not been this chastized.

@DrPhil: I know, but I can still hope, dream, and wish, especially when remembering the small, West Texas community that I grew up in and the LACK of racism and the cordial respect shared...for the most part. We did have a few of the criminal element to deal with, but that wasn't bound by racial issues. Yes, I agree, we are, for the most part, a country of hippocrites, with many of the biggest at the governing helm of our national, state, county, and city governments. Woe be to us all unless we wake up and do something. Make your vote count. Go to the polls and cast your vote!!!! Let your voice be heard!!!!

@Lervia, noble thoughts but not going to happen...especially here in America. We are a country of hippocrites. We have gone from overt racism to covert racism......as MCR has proven.

TheSource, this race stuff has been out of control FOREVER and really needs to stop. Funny thing.....back when we had "The Jeffersons", "All in the Family", and "Sanford and Son", I don't recall such racism as we have now. Everybody loved the shows from all over the racial spectrum. Within my own personal small town community as I was growing up, we had NO racism and it was obvious when many "favorites" in the predominately white school system were NOT white. I don't know what the solution is, but I do know that it seems to me that this issue is escalating full steam in the last couple of decades.....with help, I believe. My HS reunions are still filled with those classmates of all races and ethnicities and NOT A SINGLE ONE has any sort of issue with the subject or the color of anybody's skin!!! The racial issue and mantra is being prolificated for political and financial means of "users and abusers". Were they not filling the well with their spewed bile, I don't believe that we'd have all the racial and ethnic issues that we do now, and it falls upon each of us to personally keep ourselves above the fray and hope to show by example or calm word the evil of the other way.
