Ground Cracking Mystery Stuns Trojans After Storm
After a severe Thursday storm, Julius Collins and Jimmie Boston found a large ground fissure at the public school yard.

Theories range from lightning and earthquakes to quicksand and subterranean streams, with no definitive explanation. Hundreds observed the scene, yet no proof or cause remains.
