LOGTOWN (UPI) – Three Logtown High journalism students were injured and another eight received citations from local police during a field trip Thursday.

The injuries occurred at the local golf course, Loggers Row Public Links, when one student was struck by a ball in flight, one was run over by a golf cart, and the other was attacked by an undetermined wild animal while searching through the waist-deep grasses off the eighth fairway.

Two of the citations were issued at the golf course for minors in possession of alcohol, and the other six citations were given for loitering outside the local gentlemen’s establishment, Logger’s Wood.

While it appears from preliminary investigation that the injuries sustained at the golf course were accidents, it has yet to be determined if the adult chaperones face any sanctions for the students who received the citations.

“There is a rational explanation for the events that transpired on the journalism field trip,” journalism teacher Richie Potts said, reading from a prepared statement. “It doesn’t appear that any of the injuries sustained are serious, and I hope all of them heal quickly.”
