Fight breaks out at Pike-Ben Davis girls basketball game

A girls high school basketball game was called early Saturday because of a fight.

Bill Byl posted video on Twitter of the Pike-Ben Davis game at Ben Davis that afternoon. School officials haven't said how the fight started, but the IHSAA has called a meeting for Monday with coaches and administrators from both Pike and Ben Davis.

Wayne Township school officials say they're working to figure out which players were involved, and said those girls will face consequences.

"We are extremely disappointed that good sportsmanship was not shown by the players involved in today's girls basketball game at Ben Davis High School. We are working closely with administrators at Pike High School and the IHSAA to determine exactly which players were involved in this incident.

"This behavior is not representative of our values, beliefs, or how we coach our student athletes. It is not reflective of the Ben Davis pride our students, alumni, and community share. And it certainly does not reflect the rich tradition and success of our girls basketball team. The Ben Davis players involved will face consequences at school, and we will comply with any consequences we receive from the IHSAA."

The Indiana High School Athletic Association is meeting Monday afternoon to discuss the fight and potential punishment.
