YOUNGSTOWN — A spokesman for the city school district said the superintendent has indicated she isn’t likely to penalize all high school students for the misbehavior of a few.
M. Mike McNair, speaking of the fight that disrupted the Chaney-East boys’ city basketball game Friday, said Dr. Wendy Webb, superintendent, isn’t inclined to eliminate night basketball games as a result of the fight in the stands between two girls.
She has indicated, however, that she may speak to the board about banning students who misbehave in such fashion from future games.
McNair said a school investigation showed that two girls, one from Chaney and the other from East, got involved in a fight with just a few minutes left in the game.
East was ahead by a wide margin at the time and the East principal, after conferring with sports officials, opted to call the game at that point, McNair said.
