Hazing Causes Suspensions for Ten Lewiston-Porter Students

By Chris Jamele

Buffalo, NY – A Labor Day weekend party has spelled trouble for ten students at the Lewiston-Porter High School.

School officials learned this week that incidents of hazing occurred at the party as new members of the girls varsity soccer team were initiated. The Buffalo News reports that five girls soccer players, two football players and three other fellow students are facing suspensions from school.

Though no physical injuries were suffered in the hazing, local police investigators are reviewing the case to determine if charges should be filed.
