This story relates to the incident in the locker room dubbed the "Rat Trap Fiasco" by Danny Rubin.
Story
2016 was the year that the spring sports began testing the limits of the boy's locker room. Due to a rat infestation causing worry about the health and safety of the boys who used the rooms, traps were requested to control the population. Due to Sage Creek's location in a sprawling nature preserve, most traditional traps were prohibited by the laws governing the Calavera nature preserve. This lead to the only option being to use glue traps. Right away many might already be questioning who would possibly think that putting glue traps in a high traffic area would be a good idea, but with options running out, the traps were set. Almost immediately some of the traps were flipped - either on accident or on purpose - with very few actual rats being caught and more students getting stuck while changing. At one point a rat was caught in a flipped trap which lead to the now-dead rat being stuck to the floor for days until the janitorial staff could clean it up. Everything would have been mostly OK if this was the end of the story, but soon after that incident students began to find the glue traps stuck to their locker, with several students being unable to open their lockers due to the glue keeping their combination locks shut.
