SUDBURY, Mass. -- Officials at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School say students planning to attend the next home football game must be accompanied by a parent because of widespread drinking at the last game.
Two students were taken to the hospital and seven others were suspended after they were caught with alcohol last week. Superintendent and Principal John Ritchie thinks many more students were drinking and did not get caught.
He called the incident a "low point."
He says the requirement that a parent go with students to Friday night's game against Hingham High School will hold students accountable while sending the message that underage drinking will not be tolerated.
He says the plan applies to just one game until a long-term policy is devised.
