Often we just have to look over there and the staff is on top of it. Looks like no one was there to solve the issue previously.

I agree that many times, if not most of the time, it's handled by good game management. But I've also seen some really bad behavior too, including times when the visiting team's administration was involved in the abusive activity (on one occasion, a visiting principal was ejected from the contest by game management). Normally it's a bad apple here or there, but there are some schools where it always seems to be a good portion of the school, which leads me to think it's the administration not setting the right expectations.
I have heard an AD come up to the crew between quarters and say "just let me know when it's time for them to leave", referring to a couple of rowdy fans.
In this particular case, the announcers make reference to the "BS" chant from that section, and you can see expletives being shouted by various fans as well.
