East Haven High School was recently in the news after some football players and cheerleaders were ticketed for possession of alcohol and subsequently suspended. All of the athletes ticketed denied drinking alcohol. Ultimately the year-long suspensions were reduced following much debate and protest.
The story provides an excellent lesson for high school athletes. Even being in the wrong place without taking part in any illicit activities can affect a student’s high school athletic career as well as his or her collegiate athletic career.
