SIDNEY -- Members of the Fairlawn High Boys Basketball team are in hot water after allegations of hazing.
School might be out for summer, but some Fairlawn High students are in trouble and facing more than a trip to the principal's office.
Findlay Police are investigating hazing between upper classmen and under classmen on the boys basketball team.
Police wouldn't release the details of hazing incidents, but we know they happened during a basketball camp at the University of Findlay in June. Police say the events that took place on June 21st and 22nd are worth an official investigation.
According to police, a school administrator learned of the hazing after the camp and started investigating on their own before deciding the police should be involved.
We tried to get a comment from the Fairlawn Superintendent regarding the allegations against his students, the school board office is closed for the week.
We did talk to some local high school athletes who weren't surprised by the news, but definitely disappointed..
"I think that's ridiculous. Your own teammates shouldn't do that to your own teammates. It's wrong," Roma Pereria of Houston High School reflected.
"I just feel it's really rude that they would do that and how they would feel in their mindset to do that to other players," Pereria's softball teammate and Houston sophomore Taylor Woods added.
No arrests have been made in this case.
Findlay Police say the Fairlawn High School is cooperating with the Findlay Police Department during the initial stages of this ongoing investigation.
