Title: Hazing Investigation
Post by: Frank in FL on November 19, 2010, 10:02:19 AM

Just reported that two football players on one of the class 6A favorites were charged in relation to a hazing incident earlier in the year.  First round playoffs tonight.  They haven't announced their names yet so we don't know if they are starters or not.

"Hazing" ? ! ? !? ?   This is NOT hazing, this is a gang beating.  Wonder why it took so long to bring charges?

The victim wouldn't release his medical records until recently.  I'm sure that the team is a powerhouse had nothing to do with it.  Coach told the JV player to retrieve something in the locker room.  The player made the mistake of using the varsity only door.  They stuffed him in a garbage can and went to town.  Coaches and school administrators originally downplayed it.  Police investigated and sent report to the State Attorney.
