Dozens of students are sick with some sort of stomach illness after a high school football banquet at a local hotel.

Parents say whatever they have, it’s a lot like the stomach flu or food poisoning. The Allegheny County Health Department is investigating.

Sophomore Nish Alemada said he couldn’t eat or drink anything for two days and lost 18 pounds after attending his team’s banquet at the Marriott. Another player said he lost 10 pounds and missed two days of school.
