Four boys on the Mt. Lebanon High School lacrosse team and an assistant coach have been removed from the team for violating the drug and alcohol policies of the team and the high school during a trip to Detroit this past weekend. The names of the students and coach have not been released.
Boys lacrosse is a club sport this year, which means that it is organized and overseen by a private association, the Mt. Lebanon Lacrosse Association. Next year, however, it will become a school-sponsored sport.

I would like to commend the swift and appropriate actions (thus far)of the Mt. Lebo Lacrosse board in this incident.
Teens seem to have a biological obligation to make mistakes, but when those mistakes are discovered, the response must be decisive and firm enough to help change behavior.
Removing the players and coach is appropriate at this time and I hope the LAX board remains firm on enforcing appropriate discipline.

I wonder if the police should have been called.

Greg - On reflection, I agree.
