- High School Sports: There is zero tolerance for hazing! High School football cancelled because of alleged hazing of Swampscott freshman football players. Swampscott Superintendent of Schools Pamela R.H. Angelakis was not returned, but her office issued a statement on the matter: “On Monday morning, I became aware of an incident allegedly involving members of the Swampscott High School football team at Blocksidge Field Friday night. After speaking with the Swampscott Police Department, it became clear that the incident required further investigation by Swampscott Public Schools. “From what I have been able to determine, there were no adults present at the time of the incident. Understanding that all the facts have yet to be presented, I do not feel it is appropriate for the football team to take the field representing Swampscott High School at this time. As a result, we have canceled Tuesday’s freshman game and Saturday’s varsity game vs. Saugus. While the investigation is ongoing, it is not appropriate to comment further at this time.”
