IHSAA cancels seasons for Ben Davis, Pike girls

The varsity girls basketball seasons for Ben Davis and Pike High Schools have been cancelled for the remainder of 2015-16 season including participation in the state tournament series, IHSAA commissioner Bobby Cox announced Monday.

This decision, among additional penalties, is a result of incidents Saturday at Ben Davis High School during the varsity girls basketball game between the two schools.

In the fourth quarter of the contest, a violent fight erupted between the teams where benches cleared and fans rushed onto the court.
