It's cute that the Hoover/Spain Park people think this is a "fight."

That's the way the Carver team warms up.

Maybe Carver needs this guy to come back and coach:

I can't wait to see if the new ticket policy will keep the goons out of the post-season game between my high school and our crosstown rivals.

I would have put up the link on the new policy, but it was so damn choppy when it was reported, I cleaned it up to make it readable.

WATERLOO - Students at East and West high schools will have to meet a series of requirements before being allowed to purchase a ticket to the upcoming boys' basketball game between the two schools.

The new policies were developed after the East High athletic director was forced to end the last matchup between the two teams abruptly Feb. 5 because of multiple spectator disturbances.

The district announced today that both adult and student tickets will be sold only during business office hours between Feb. 15 and Feb. 19. Only students with a valid student identification can purchase tickets. EDIT:

Tickets will not be sold to students:

-who are attending the Waterloo Education Behavior Center or Devonshire School.

-who have been suspended during the school year for fighting, defiance or insubordination.

-involved in the disturbance during the Feb. 6 basketball game.

-identified by the school resource officers as having gang affiliations.

-and questionable students who administrators from either school have major concerns with (reputations for being trouble-makers, tendency to provoke fights, etc.)

The Feb. 22 boys basketball substate game at West High's Siddens Gymnasium begins at 6 p.m. No one will be allowed in after 6:15 p.m., even if they bought a ticket.

At the Feb. 5 contest at East's Fred J. Miller Gymnasium, six people were arrested or taken into custody as a result of incidents, which continued after the game ended. They were:

Brett Michael Gary, 23, who was charged with disorderly conduct, failure to disperse and interference with official acts.

Lee A. Tanner, 25, who was charged with disorderly conduct and failure to disperse.

Christopher D. Spates, 16, William R. Burt, 15, Darius D. Nickelous, 15, John Stanford Jr., 15, who were each charged with disorderly conduct and failure to disperse.

The district also is reviewing its long-term plans governing ticket sales.

"Our priority is to provide a safe environment for students and adults to enjoy athletic events," said Superintendent Gary Norris. "It is not tolerable to permit a few to disrupt an event."

All student tickets will be numbered and matched to the student's name. After the final ticket is sold on Friday all administrators and school resource officers will be given the opportunity to review the list. If any student who is not eligible to attend purchased a ticket, the student will be told Monday they cannot attend the game and their money will be refunded.

All appeals will be decided by Cora Turner, the district's executive director of student and at-risk services.

In my hometown, when the two large inner-city schools play each other in basketball, they play the boys game first, right after school lets out, to keep the thuggeration at a minimum.

I love that they have restrictions on who they'll sell tickets to.

If kids can get weed and guns, I'm pretty sure they can find a way to score hoops tickets.
