The photo shows the teens posing with the dead animals, while two of them held baseball bats.
The teens face fines and were cited for the act, WNEP reported.
“I just don’t think it’s right. There’s no reason to be going around and beating innocent animals and killing them. I just don’t think it’s right,” Matt Mindler of Catawissa told WNEP.
According to WNEP, four of the five teens were members of Southern Columbia’s state championship football team, who graduated in early June. Blake Marks, Austin Knepp, Gabe Delbo and Nick Becker helped lead the team to the state title.

Another football player Mark Kitchen, from Danville, was cited as well.
“Some kids that are good kids, College-bound […] Never had any trouble with the law, trouble in school, they made a bad decision,” Jim Roth, the Southern Columbia Football head coach told WNEP.
“Some of these kids are not even aware of all the laws as far as small animals,” Coach Roth added.
WNEP said they reached out to the wildlife conservation officer who filed the citations but have yet to hear back.
