A basketball game of the Secondary School of Pennsylvania saw a wild fight at the end of the stands with arrests last Friday.
The game between Unionntown and Meadville High Schools became physical, but not with players on the court. Rather, they were parents in the stands, since at least two adult men were seen throwing blows, which led to the scene.
The video that circulates online from the incident seems to show coaches and referees that transfer both teams to their banks in the fourth quarter. Then, the cameras quickly change two men throwing each one in the stands, and many try to break it.

A basketball game of the Secondary School of Pennsylvania saw a wild fight at the end of the stands with arrests.
“I’ve never seen anything so ugly in person,” said a announcer on the YouTube channel in Unionville High School during the game. “This was really a shame.”
The man who seemed to start the fight wore a white shirt, and the cameras caught him out of his place in the stands, walking towards the court and going on the other side behind Meadville to face someone. It was then that things got ugly.
A player from the Meadville bank, with a long long -sleeved shirt and white pants, jumped to the stands to throw blows before a coach finally brought him to the court.

But things worsened a lot when a Meadville player chased a fan, who seemed to cause him near where the initial fight was, and sent him flying to the court. The players of both banks seemed to fight before the coaches quickly sent them to the locker room.
Different altercations occurred at both ends of the court, but finally dissipated.
Police officers were seen in the video of the altercation that leads a man with a blue shirt of the handcuff. Another man at the opposite end of the gym was also handcuffed.

TMZ Sports learned from the Meadville Police that they intend to “charge several fans and players. Probably with messy behavior.”
The game speakers noticed that a technical foul was convened in Unionntown after Meadville was bothering the crowd before the fight.
“Unioncown fans go after officials here a little,” said the announcer. “You may have some ejections here.”
Due to what happened, the game was called by officials with 3:12 remaining in the fourth quarter, where Meadville led Unionntown, 63-55.
This game was the first round of the 5th State Tournament of the Interestic Athletic Association of Pennsylvania, and the official group of the governing body from 5:27 pm in Monday says a “double loss” without any of the teams continuing.
Hershey, the team scheduled to face the winner of Unioncown-Meadville in the second round, has subsequently passed to the quarterfinals.

“I have contacted the schools involved and I have requested a report for Monday AM on the incident last night,” said Piaa executive director Robert Lombardi, to Erie Times-News about the incident. “I have no more comments until I receive your reports.”
PIAA did not initially respond to a request for comments from Pak Gazette Digital.
