An update to this story. One team, Thomas Jefferson HS, has been suspended until January 2, and will forfeit all league games until then and lose a trip to an out-of-state tournament. The other team, Paul Robeson HS, has been suspended for the rest of the season.

Both teams are in the new PSAL AA division, which was designed to create more competitive games between the top schools. No telling how that experiment will be affected.

Talked to a guy today that wasn't an official at THAT game (in Dallas), but was very familiar with the history between those schools. I'm somewhat familiar, but he told me there was a big fight in the stands during the football game between them (Carter and Kimball HS in the Dallas ISD) this fall. He stated that there wasn't sufficient armed security (i.e. police) at the arena (and that place is a very nice place to work a HS game) that night.
