We had the a similar situation in our area (Corvallis/Albany Oregon) this year. During a game, some chest-bumping and jawing started between two players. A large group of students poured out of the stands and got into it with the visiting player. As a good portion of the student section was either on the floor on on the sidelines and out of the stands, the officials ejected the entire student section. Game management was not pleased at first, but when given the option of doing so or forfeiting, did their job. While this may seem draconian to some, I feel that the officials should do whatever necessary to ensure the safety of all participants.
