“It’s nerve-wracking being at the games,” said parent Desiree Gray. “I’m not gonna miss a game however when it’s time to go I gather my people and I say let’s get out of here 'cause it gets rough.”

Despite the school’s claims to be increasing security, our 19 News crew was able to walk right inside the building Friday night. The doors were unlocked and there was no security at the door and no metal detectors. A few minutes after they got inside, our crew was kicked out by school officials who said all media requests for Friday’s game were denied.

19 News obtained body camera video from the chaotic brawl at Cleveland Heights High School following a Tuesday night basketball game against Garfield Heights. The fight happened in the parking lot. Police said at least 50 students were involved and one student even decked a Cleveland Heights cop right in the face.

For Friday’s game the district limited tickets to family members of Cleveland Heights and Maple Heights high school players and cheerleaders.“The police can’t do but so much,” said Craig Moore. “They can try to stop but then they get hurt.” “Right after a kid got brought down by a cop right in the middle and then outside it was ridiculous,” said Gray.
