Hilltopper2005 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Wow, this really got out of hand! Fight Erupts At Basketball Game - LEX18.com | Continuous News and StormTracker Weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 We are aware that the game was called due to a fight between some of the players. The video is circulating on Twitter and local news sites. We will not discuss the fight or post a link to the video in the High School Forum or any where since juveniles are involved due to Rule #9 9. No discussion of ANY criminal behavior (charged or uncharged) in the high school forums. Discussion of adult criminal behavior is permitted in all non-high school forums. However, discussion of criminal behavior by juveniles (anyone under 18) is never permitted anywhere on BGP. Since most of these players are indeed juveniles, we must refrain from discussing due to the possibility of charges that could be filed. Thank you for your understanding Jumper_Dad Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 From the basketball side , bad timing since district tourney games will be played without those that were ejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahearme Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 From the basketball side , bad timing since district tourney games will be played without those that were ejected. Which got me thinking; what if neither team has enough to start a game next week? Two forfeits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 From a referee standpoint and without talking about any particular players: Interesting to see the one official down on the floor in the middle of it. Many officials are instructed to just take numbers for the report and to NOT get in the middle of it - for their own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky enough to never have something like this happen in my officiating career, but I was always instructed to "sit back and observe" and make mental notes of numbers involved, coaches involved and people coming off the bench.

Wireman Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 There will likely be multiple suspensions and possibly even criminal charges. Sad stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoops5 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 While I am not condoning the behavior choices of the players, I do feel bad for all of them. This incident has been played and replayed across the country and social media. Hard to erase all that unwanted publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumper_Dad Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Didn't the last game between these two have a similar incident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True blue (and gold) Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 This is sad on so many levels. You see cheerleaders standing there in shock and disbelief. Did anyone notice the little boy sitting in the stands in the last couple of minutes, with his head between his hands, like "what just happened?"

I'm sure that is the best plan of action but it seems that it would be hard to see a kid getting attacked and not try to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
