A high school basketball game in Pennsylvania ended a brawl in the bleachers last Friday night with an arrest.
The game between Uniontown and Meadville high schools became physical but not court players. Rather, it was the parents of the stands as I saw at least two adult men throwing punches.
Online video of the incident appears to show coaches and referees moving both teams to the bench in the fourth quarter. The camera then quickly shifts to two men throwing punches into each of the stands, and many people try to split it.

A basketball game at Pennsylvania High School saw a brawl ending with arrests.
An announcer on the Unionville High School YouTube channel said, “I've never seen this ugh in person.” “This was a real shame.”
The man who seemed to have begun a brawl was wearing a white jersey, and the camera went to the other side of Meadville to leave his spot in the bleachers, walked to the courtroom and to confront someone. That's when things get ugly.
One player on Meadville's bench, dressed in a black long-sleeved shirt and white pants, jumped into the stands and threw a punch before the coach finally brought him back to the court.

But things got worse when Meadville players chased the fans. Both bench players appeared to be about to brawl before the coaches sent them to the locker room immediately.
Different arguments took place at both ends of the court, but eventually dissipated.
The officer was seen in a video of an argument leading a man wearing a blue shirt from the gym with handcuffs. Another man on the other side of the gym was also handcuffed.

TMZ Sports has learned from Meadville police that it is “intentionally intended to bill multiple fans and players, mostly in disorderly conduct.”
The game's announcer noted that a technical foul has been called to Uniontown after a foul by Meadville upset the crowd before the brawl.
“Uniontown fans are chasing the officials here a bit,” the announcer said. “There may be some emissions here.”
Because of what happened, the game was called by the remaining officials at 3:12 in the fourth quarter, with Meadville leading Union Town 63-55.
The game was the first round of the Inter-Pennsylvania Governance Athletics Association's 5A State Tournament, with the official Governance Bracket as of 5:27pm on Monday stating “double confiscation” that neither team moved.
