I'm sure there is plenty of blame to go around. There will always be idiots in the stands saying things, even at a high school game. In this case, there wasn't any ice or beer thrown, just moronic heckling.
Sounds like the school administrators maybe could have removed the heckler before it got so bad, especially since it sounds like there is a history at this event. That's pretty bad when the paper says that the following game took place largely without incident... except for a scuffle in the stands. I have never seen scuffle in the stands at any game I have reffed. That would be huge news here but it's "largely without incident" there. LOL.
That being said, the schools cannot prevent every dumb comment that will be said from the bleachers. Players need to ignore the idiots. The coach is right when he says that the player needs to be mentally strong and ignore it.
