"There were no injuries," he added. Wiggins said police and SBI officials are questioning suspects and an official investigation has been launched. "About $25 ? 35,000 worth of football equipment was in the room along with some other things," said Hoke School Superintendent,G. Raz Autry. "It was about the last place in the world that I thought would catch on fire," he said. Autry said the fire would be covered by insurance. "We're insured with the state just as all school systems are," he said. He said he would hate to think that anyone would set the fire. "I'm speculating, but if anyone set the fire, I couldn't put into words how terrible it would be," he said. "I'm thankful no student was hurt and if it was set, I hope we find the guilty person," he added. Autry said the outer surface of the stadium was not damaged, but he was going to get the stadium structure checked. "It seems to me that the fire was set," said Hoke High Principal Allen Edwards. "There will be a full investigation," he added. Students reported that shortly after the fire,an announcement came over the school PA system that there was a $250 reward offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator.
