PARLIN, N.J. (AP) – A central New Jersey town is reeling after its high school football season was cut short by allegations of bullying and harassment among players.
Sayreville War Memorial High has been a powerhouse, winning three sectional titles in the last four years.
On Monday night, school district officials canceled the rest of the season after speaking with the county prosecutor’s office, which is conducting an investigation into the bullying allegations.
The prosecutor’s office hasn’t released any details and didn’t respond to a message seeking comment Tuesday.
The school superintendent says there was evidence of pervasive harassment, intimidation and bullying.
