Players on the team said they watched as the adults got too wrapped up in that game and turned violent.
The mayor of the small Arkansas town said charges could soon be filed after the review of surveillance video from the brawl Monday to see who, if anyone, will be charged.
Freshman Dalton Watkins says from where he watched on the court, it was an adult in the stands who started the fight by running onto the court and trying to attack the players.
"As soon as Rumer hit the three and won the game," Watkins said. "Tension had already been building then all the sudden you just saw a guy go over and try and hit Justin and Dustin."
Watkins said he's never seen anything like the fight that broke out Friday during a game with South Side Bee Branch.
Around 20 adults got caught up in the brawl, but there were no serious injuries reported.
Watkins said the adults set a bad example for the students that night, "If the basketball players can keep it together the adults should be able to too," he said.
There is video of the brawl but the superintendent for the Guy-Perkins school district said that, along with the official incident report, will be released Monday.
