But things got worse when a Meadville player continued after a fan, who seemed to provoke him near the place where the initial fight was, and sent him to fly on the field. The players of the two benches seemed to be fighting before the coaches quickly send them to the locker room.
Different altercations have occurred at the two ends of the court, but finally dissipated.
Police were seen in the video of the altercation leading a man wearing a blue shirt from the gymnasium in handcuffs. Another man at the opposite end of the gymnasium was also handcuffed.
