Lisbon High School is forfeiting a third consecutive football game due to the ongoing hazing investigations involving student-athletes on the football team.

Lisbon Schools Superintendent Dr. Richard Green wrote Thursday in an email to the Sun Journal that Saturday’s game against Medomak Valley in Waldoboro will result in a forfeit, and “all Lisbon High School football related activities will remain suspended until further notice.”

On Wednesday, the Lisbon Police Department sent its findings from a criminal investigation into hazing allegations to the district attorney. The Lisbon School Department is also conducting its own investigation into the hazing allegations.

Neil McLean Jr., who is the district attorney for Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties, confirmed in an email to the Press Herald on Thursday that his office has received the report from Lisbon police.

“It appears as would be expected that they conducted a lengthy investigation,” McLean wrote. “Now we will need to do our due diligence in a thorough review of all the information provided before any decision on next steps are determined. I am not able to provide a timeline for that to be completed at this time.”

There is no clear timeline on when the cases will be closed, or if the Lisbon football team will return to play its final game of the season, which is scheduled for Oct. 25 against Oak Hill.

Lisbon previously announced that seven football players had been removed from the team. The Greyhounds, who compete in Class D South, have not practiced since Oct. 3, putting their regular-season finale in jeopardy as well.

Lisbon forfeited its Oct. 4 game against Mountain Valley, then its Oct. 11 game against Freeport.
