Supt.: 10 Lindy LAX Players Suspended for Drinking

Ten players on the 's were recently suspended from school and practice after getting caught drinking.

That's according to Superintendent Richard Nathan, who released a statement to Lindenhurst Patch on Friday afternoon, April 27.

"The were a result of the boys drinking alcohol on the bus ride home while heading back from a tournament in Rochester a few weeks ago," the superintendent explained in the statement.

They each received a three-day from school, plus a four-day suspension from practice for violating the district's Code of Conduct, said Nathan.

In addition to the suspensions, the players were also not allowed to participate in one game after the Code of Conduct violation.

"The district is very disappointed in these students for engaging in such a poor manner," Nathan noted.

Following this incident the district brought in an outside program called Outreach to speak with the entire team about the dangers of drinking and alcohol awareness, "which appeared to be very impactful to students," he said.
