Coaches have a pretty good idea who did this and rest assure the persons involved will be prosecuted.
$1000s in player's equipment was stolen as well as other baseball related items, coaches offices were broken into and facilities were spray painted and extensive damage was done. CHHS baseball's program does not have top-notch facilities but the little they have is truly appreciated by the players in the program.
A reward will soon be offered to bring these cowards to justice. Please contact CHISD's AD or CHPD if you have any information.

That's ridiculous! Hope everything is recovered soon. Sorry to hear it, GED10DaD
That's awful, sorry to hear it, hope the ******** get caught!!!!!!!!!!
Unbelievable!! This goes way beyond a prank. Whoever did this must have changed his chones(boxers) several times yesterday because it was all over the news. They will find you!!
I hope the program recovers all that was lost especially the players that lost that special fitting glove that took forever to break in.

Texas Rangers pitch in to replace Cedar Hill High baseball team's stolen, damaged equipment

The Texas Rangers are helping Cedar Hill High School's baseball team get back in the game.
Today at 12:30 p.m., Rangers pitcher Tommy Hunter and second baseman Ian Kinsler will be at the school to present a $10,000 check to help cover losses from a theft over New Year's weekend at the school's fieldhouse. In addition, team members are donating equipment to the high school's players.
The devastating theft at the school was discovered last week, when coaches and students returned from the holiday break.
The thieves who broke into the field house not only stole thousands of dollars in athletic equipment; they also vandalized the building and its contents, spray-painting vulgarities on walls, smashing trophies and wrecking vending machines.
"What they didn't steal, they destroyed," Jeremy Fatheree, the school's baseball coach, said.
Much of the stolen equipment was players' personal property. One school district official estimated that more than 30 students lost something of value – gloves, shoes, bats and so forth. In some cases, the official said, the losses totaled as much as $500 per student.
The gift from the Rangers comes in part from the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation. Academy Sports + Outdoors, the sporting-goods chain, is also donating baseball equipment.

There is still good in the world, even in bad times!! GED10DaD
Very classy move by the Texas Rangers sending two of their top players to make this donation instead of sending a spokesperson or someone else!!
GO RANGERS!!
