Third Glacier High School Student Admits Role in Football Bus Hazing

By Beacon Staff

The final Glacier High School freshman football player charged with hazing his teammates on a bus trip last year has admitted to misdemeanor assault in Youth Court and been sentenced to six months of probation.

District Judge Stewart Stadler signed the consent order Friday for the 15-year-old boy. He was one of three charged with dog-piling four teammates in the back seats of a school bus while the team was traveling home from a game in Missoula. Prosecutors alleged the boys were held against their will with their mouths covered while they were punched in the groin and poking them through their pants.

As part of his probation, the student must participate in victim-offender conferencing with the four victims and their parents, or write letters of accountability.
