HUBER HEIGHTS -- The two teams involved in a brawl last month took to the court again Tuesday night for the second time this season. 

Tonight everyone was on their best behavior and administrators weren't having it any other way.

The brawl that bled from the court to the stands was still fresh on everyone's minds.

"It was crazy that's what I thought. My main concern was just to make sure my daughter was okay to see where she was," Natasha Gaithers, Springfield parent said at the game.

Administrators are determined not to let this intense rivalry reach a violent level ever again.

"Everyone will have a seat at the game tonight and that will be the expectation if you're not in the common area eating you will be in your seat," Wayne Principal Dr. Reva Cosby explained.

Wayne Principal Dr. Reva Cosby said both schools decided to make a few changes tonight: administrators in the stands, extra security and the players shaking hands before the game.

"I think everyone learn their lesson and it's going to be a clean game and everybody's going to go home and be safe and it's going to be fine," Gaithersburg added.

A peaceful competitive game was a win for both teams.

"We're hoping that this will show that we do get along together, we anticipate getting along together and we want to get along," Dr. Cosby added.

There will also be a joint community service project in the near future with both teams to show both communities that these guys can work together.
