It has nothig to do with the the schools.. there has been some shootings amongst rival gangs in the neighborhood. If it was the school then the games wouldnt be played with fans on Feb 24 @ O-High or on Feb 26 @ Mack. The Feb 24 game will be aired on Comcast.

i thought the article said continued conflict amongst rival schools, which didn’t sound like the game was postponed because of violence in the “neighborhood” at least that’s what the School district spokesman said. I could have misread it. thatssssss right, i won’t even respond to your comment since it’s obvious the people on this blog are talking about possible causes and resolutions. Y not start by only letting immediate family of players attend?

The cancellation of the game had nothing to do with aviolence between the two school. It was something that was going on in the neighborhood.

thatssssss right, obviously you are a child, so I will keep that in mind, but my whole point was that when you cross the line to get into your opponents heads, that’s when fighting occurs, so that is probably why the den was escorted from the building after the game and had to have extra security. This blog is not about how “bad” you are, it’s about how this particular game had to be postponed. Some of the things the den says are really clever and funny, but having to be escorted from a building is nothing to be proud of, it doesn’t make you look as tough as you’re trying to sound on a blog. Because of a few people who can’t keep the game just a game, some players, parents and students are missing out and that is truly a shame

no offense yep, but the trojan den might have incited a little more incidents. Some of the things they say cross the line over school spirit. I personally heard racists remarks and at the end of the BOD game the chanted “F odowd”. You mix that with an already volatile situation, of couse there are gonna be fights. It’s sad, but the safest thing would probably be to hold their games with no spectators until further notice, at least the players get to play their games.

as a cv student last year in the trojan den, we were escorted by security out of the gym after every game, with extra security after the san leandro and hayward game, and that still didnt stop fights. they need to take every precaution they can and play this game when it’s safe to play it, hopefully the fans can watch, but if its not safe, then they should play without spectators

I am curious. How is the security placed in the gyms and outside the gyms? At BOD you have security guards standing directly in front of the bleachers throughout the gym, at a san leandro game last season, i noticed the police officers moved us all along to our cars. I mean there was no time to do anything but get in our cars, it was annoying at the time, but now i see what a great idea it was. at berkeley, right after the players left the court, the security started clearing the gym, parents and all. does the opposite team also bring security to control their crowds?
