Wayne Hills' Amazing Response To Rock Being Defaced

WAYNE, NJ — Wayne Hills players had an amazing response to their sacred rock being defaced before the team's annual game against Wayne Valley.

The normally maroon and black rock was painted blue — the school color of crosstown rival Wayne Valley — before the teams faced off in their annual game on Saturday. Parents and players discovered the rock had been defaced before the game, NorthJersey.com reported.

Wayne Hills Patriots players touch the rock before every game — even road games — before heading onto the field. The team's senior players' names and numbers are written in white.

Two Wayne Hills dads sprung into action and covered the blue paint with a new coat of maroon and white with a new message: 'We fear no spear or paint!" Wayne Valley's logo is a spear. Hills defeated Valley 31-0.

Photos on social media allegedly showed two boys wearing masks appearing to paint the stone blue, NorthJersey.com reported.

Wayne Police Detective Capt. Laurence Martin could not immediately be reached for comment, but he did tell The Record that, "We’ll figure it out one way or the other who is responsible."
