I live less than three miles from Emmaus.

The powers that be say it was an honest mistake that they were left out of the yearbook.
Somehow that statement has all the bouquet of bovine excrement.

No one in town is buying their "" mistake "".

I was on the math team at my highschool, it got left out.

This is a undefeated rifle team in a state and area that takes hunting season extremely seriously.

Math team ? So what? I got hauled downtown for computer hacking back in high school, I didn't make the yearbook for my skills either.

I love how people get their persecution complex going before any real investigation has been done. I would love to hear more about it when they complete the investigation.

From the link

Moxey said he'd look into the matter but indicated the photo may have arrived too late for inclusion in the yearbook, according to Donatelli.
Even in the preliminary stages it looks like the rifle team screwed the pooch, and are crying foul for their own idiocy. Can't miss the deadline and cry that it wasn't your fault.

I would love to wait till more research has been done, but since the OP is crying fowl before any has been done...gotta take the good with the bad.

And people wonder why other countries are surpassing US students in math and science. Why recognize academic achievement like the math team when you have things like shooting holes in paper to celebrate instead?

Is "rifle" really a sport? Let's be serious here.

Yearbooks often have mistakes and omissions often because, as claimed in this case, the photo was submitted too late for inclusion. If it was the Chess Club missing nobody would give a fart in the wind.

Do you know how many college scholarships have been given out in the shooting sports for marksmanship?
