BOYS BASKETBALL: Basic, Foothill suspended following melee

The boys basketball game between Basic and host Foothill was suspended Wednesday with 3 minutes, 30 seconds left in overtime after a melee broke out in the stands, involving several fans and one Basic player.

According to Foothill assistant coach, John Ringler, the Basic player was ejected for his involvement.

Ringler said that benches cleared, and the melee “rolled on and on and wouldn’t stop.”

The game, which was tied at 61-61, was suspended, and several police cars were seen at the school.
