Basketball & brawls..... good news & bad news....
First - there were several good high school basketball games at the River City Shootout in Renaissance Coliseum on Monday...
Manual (13-3) edged Central (11-5) 52-42, BU recruit DaMonte Williams had 11
Richwoods 48 - Metamora 44, Metamora's Nate Kennell had 28 in their loss
Notre Dame lost to East Moline 41-28, Pete Hanley had 10 for PND
Then- here's a feature story from Lonnie Schwindenhammer on Da'Monte Williams (averaging 12 ppg, 4.5 rpg as a soph)
Then the really sad & bad news.... multiple fights broke out in the atrium of the Renaissance Coliseum & outside - with both Peoria police & Bradley campus police having to respond.
From a small PJS paragraph in the police section...
"Peoria, Bradley police respond to fight reports"
Peoria - Peoria and Bradley University police responded to reports of fights Monday night at Renaissance Coliseum after a high school basketball game.
..people leaving the coliseum between 9 and 9:45p.m. said multiple fights broke out in the lobby and outside the coliseum.
Several fans said fights in the atrium between high school students caused a crowd to stampede out of the building.
Numerous police cars from the Peoria and Bradley departments blocked off Main Street..."
...so why weren't the police there to begin with? With a big gathering on campus of various off-campus rival high school students - they didn't think it was
a big enough reason to have a few police there for security? It took "multiple fights" both inside & outside to warrant any action by police? Not good for business...
