Fans fight in the stands during Bonita's victory over San Dimas
I know it's a rivalry, but ... You have to give it to our photographer Keith Birmingham, he never misses a thing. And parents, fans, or whoever you're, you should be embarrassed. That's why we're throwing your childish act on the blog.

The latest: Two adult spectators caught on camera fighting in the stands during last week's Bonita-San Dimas girls volleyball match have been contacted and disciplined, a school district official said Monday.
William Brinegar, the assistant superintendent in charge of human resources at the Bonita Unified School District, said the names of those involved and the sanctions will not be released, per district policy.
"We're certainly disappointed it occurred," Brinegar said of the altercation. "You never want that sort of thing happening. But given that it did, actions have been taken regarding those involved."
According to an eyewitness who asked not to be identified, the fight started after fans began throwing food and other items in the stands.
The witness said an adult approached a student he felt was responsible for throwing items, and that's when another adult became involved, resulting in the altercation between the two adults.
"Bottom line is there was a disagreement and misunderstanding and it resulted in two parents getting into an altercation," Brinegar said. "We don't generally get into specifics because there isn't much benefit to it.
"However, the person we've identified as being responsible for starting it has been contacted and is receiving appropriate sanctions. The others involved that we have identified also have received appropriate sanctions."
No assault charges have been filed, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department.
"As far as an assault being committed, it's up to the individual who believes they were assaulted to file a report," Brinegar said. "That's something for the appropriate party to consider. There's not much we can do about that."
San Dimas High School principal Kristine Kulow also would not elaborate but appeared frustrated by the attention the altercation has received.
"The people involved know what's happening," Kulow said. "Why don't you just let it die? It's being handled."
Thom Simmons, director of sports information for the CIF-Southern Section, said he was aware of the incident and was satisfied that both schools acted appropriately.
"The sanctions should come from the schools," Simmons said. "We can make suggestions, but to our understanding they've taken it in-house and are acting appropriately.
"The only time we would step in is if an obvious egregious act had occurred and the schools did nothing about it. But that's not the case here."
Back to the real action.

SAN DIMAS - You don't expect a girls volleyball team trailing in the fifth game to reel off 11 consecutive points.
That is, unless you're Bonita coach Morgan Coberly. Bonita surprised many by scoring the final 11 points en route to a 25-23, 19-25, 25-13, 17-25, 15-5 victory over San Dimas on Wednesday in a heated nonleague rivalry in front of a raucous crowd at San Dimas High School.
"With this team, I almost do expect it," Coberly said. "Early this season, we've been really streaky."
The Bearcats trailed 5-4 in the fifth when Kristen Phillips' kill got things started by tying the score and giving the ball to Kaitlyn Mang to serve. Mang didn't give it up and served an ace on the line for the second-to-last point. Katy McCreery's kill on the final point then finished off the Saints.

San Dimas Soap Opera, I mean Baseball is always entertaining to watch...You sit and you wait for some drama in the bleachers or in the dugout. If you see a few games, it will happen. If you're real lucky, you might seem drama from the bleachers go into the dugout. The bus stories are now buzzing around the city. IF they are true, I don't see how you could keep the current coaching staff, like I said IF. Rumor has it that there are pics of these happenings...True/False? Anyone know for sure?

The comment about going to APU makes you a Christian was pretty naive to say the least. A lot of students for there for athletics. Sad, but true. That comment was like saying that because I sit in my garage, that makes me a car.

I heard they play beer pong with the kids at SD.

Proff has been documented and presented to the district that's why the investigation is on going!
Just because they are APU grads doesn't mean squat!
You'll find them at the bowling lanes or Micheal Angelo's sucking it up!

San Dimas coaches are APU graduates and that means they're Christians, so I don't know about open containers on buses. AMEN BROTHER!
Posted by: Clone | September 28, 2007 5:02 PM
Open containers on the bus? I heard something like that before but didn't understand what it was that happened on the San Dimas baseball buses. What is it you're implying?
Also, the poor autistic kid in the yellow shirt looks so angry in the pics. Why is he alone and not with his parents at the game? Little guy probabally got his clock cleaned.

Last time I checked open container while driving home from baseball games are against the law.
Now, it’s really cool and charming for coaches to allow alcohol on buses for the past five years and to participate in the drinking with the players! Wow, what a role model?
Documents have been presented, verified by players and parents, and polygraphs conducted. Talk about sweeping it under the table or “Let it Die”…
Hey superintentdent, step up and do something right for a change!

What laws are being broken by San Dimas Baseball Coaches? A parent from South Hills told me that the San Dimas coach was very charming.

Sanctions, suspensions, it's all the same thing. Joe Amat, I agree with you. This is a public school, and in a situation like this it's important to know what kind of action the school is taking, not simply say we're handling it.

Why wasn't the parent of the kid that got choked disciplining his son prior to the incident. I can attest that my son would not be acting inappropriate and throwing things especially bottles of urine at ANYBODY had I been in the stands with him. This parent should have taught his son better than that. I'm not condoning the Bonita parent who did the choking...he should be arrested.....but parents come on.....take control of your hoodlums!
HAHAHA HONESTLYY DONT POST THINGS YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.. THE PARENT DIDNT DO ANYTHING TO HIS SON CUZ HE WASNT THE ONE THAT THREW IT! THEY ALREADY PUNISHED THE KID THAT DID AND THE MANS SON WAS LAUGHING WHEN THE BONITA MAN CAME RUNNING UP THE STANDS THATS WHY THE BONITA MAN ASSUMED THAT IT WAS THAT KID. ARE YOU GOING TO PUNISH YOUR KIDS FOR LAUGHING AT A GROWN MAN THREATING TO "KICK SOME ******* ASS" I WOULD LAUGH TO WHAT A JOKE THAT BONITA MAN IS...

To have a principal say, "The people involved know what's happening,"..."Why don't you just let it die? It's being handled."
is frightening.
I realize that it is her school that looks bad and is the brunt of this learning opportunity for everyone else. But when the public starts talking about it - that's when we can figure out how to prevent it from happening again. Did the Pistons, Pacers, and the NBA try to sweep things under the rug, or did they jump in with both feet and try to get to the root of the problem and put things in motion to address the problem.
It is important to Publicize the Action Taken. The information that someone has been thrown out of a game or banned from attendance needs to be widely disseminated. You don't necessarily want to use the person's name, but Social Learning Theory says that people learn how to behave by watching what other people do and what happens to them! If nothing happens to adults who misbehave, then others will be more likely to follow suit.
On the other hand, if people hear that bad behavior leads to getting thrown out, this will send a powerful message about what is tolerated and what isn't. So, to be an effective leader you want to find ways to let people know that misbehavior has consequences.
Not to sweep it under the rug and "...let it die!"

What about the kid who got choke? Is that another lie? Didnt happen? San Dimas telling stories again. Figures.

Everything else just does not matter. No where did I place any blame on either parent or either cheering section (and I use that term loosely) I really don't care.
At some point prior to that photo, something else could and should have been dome to prevent the situation from escalating to that point.

Bonita doesn't have 2 sets of stands in their gym neither so stick it in your ear.
The La Verne community surrounding Bonita has more money and more class plain and simple. San Dimas doesn't and never will. The kids from San Dimas tend to be more rough around the edges, unkept, rowdy, whatever so for you to say that the Bonita fans think they are more superior, they are and thats the bottom line. Open your eyes.
Aram 'Tollhouse' Tolegian would devour that stupid kid in the yellow shirt, Aram's got to weigh like 350 and that pip squeak runt is lucky if he weighs 145. Good to have you back Aram!

It doesn't really matter what we didn't see because what we DO see is the inappropriate response to WHATEVER we did not see.
Posted by: Joe Amat | September 24, 2007 9:09 AM
What no one here saw is that the Bonita fans were taunting the San Dimas fans starting in the Freshman games. Bonita High students think that they are superior to San Dimas and that they can do anything they want when they are in SDs house. This superiority starts with the way Bonita Unified School District treats the schools, giving way more to Bonita while SDHS doesn't even have stands on two sides of the gym to keep the fans away from each other. I have even heard stories of Bonita parents coming to San Dimas high school the day of Smugepot and puting there names on the seats on San Dimas's side of the field? Gee, I wonder where their kids get it.
Posted by: CJ | September 24, 2007 8:31 AM
Hey Aram, I know the guy in the yellow and uh haha you would not eat him alive... And what you dont see in the pic is all the bonita kids rushing over he was just yelling at them not to come over. Also, no baseball kids from SD were involved in this. I have no clue why that keeps getting mentioned.
Posted by: JC | September 23, 2007 11:50 PM
Anyone who justifies that fans...* "throw things," start some fights, swear at opponents or opponents fans by saying,"They're adolescents, its in their nature". "Stop being blind sited to the rest of america, every other high school has issues like these"*...doesn't understand the real meaning of competition.
When your kids smoke, drink, do drugs, or violate any of societies laws and codes of ethics do you say the same,""They're adolescents, its in their nature". "Stop being blind sited to the rest of america, every other high school has issues like these"
No big deal...kids wil be kids....right?
Posted by: Joe Amat | September 23, 2007 9:19 PM
I read all these comments all you people write, whether it be that san dimas students are hellians, or not. Yes san dimas has been known to "throw things," and start some fights. They're adolescents, its in their nature. Stop being blind sited to the rest of america, every other high school has issues like these. But a comment i would like to make is, San dimas has spirit. They may be rowdy, but watch them. One of the few crowds that actually stay loyal to their school. Think about it, haha, sd lost the smudgepot how many years in a row? Yet every year they try, cheer, and act like they will win it. I hope they actually do just because of their spirt and hope to. Bonita high school doesn't have any spirit for sports they know they will lose in, they give up. You CANNOT say the same for san dimas..so i praise all of you SDHS students, from whatever class you may be from.
also to parents: If you do not appreciate students spirt, dont sit right next to them ;)

I'd love to take that kid from San Dimas in the Yellow shirt one-on-one and see how he could do against me, I'd eat him alive, literally.

Hey Fred the big guy on the left looks like Mark Cuban and from the looks of things he sure is acting like him too, glad he got punched that S.O.B.
San Dimas fans are dirty. Peeing in empty water bottles and then peppering the rude Bonita fans is pretty low. I can't wait to see, hear or read here in a couple of weeks what Giovani Mier and the Bearcart Baseball team do to 'one-up' their dirty little rivals at Smudgepot.

There were only three photos of the fight. Keith's gallery included game-action and excited fans in the stands. Are those the extra crowd shots you're complaining about. You have a problem with a photo journalist trying to capture the energy of the crowd? Give me a break. And as far as coverage of the game, I believe it was front page in the Daily Bulletin and in our newspaper with pictures as well. The article vaguely mentioned the fight, and that came late in the story.
So, to throw comment back, how is this showing bias?
Posted by: FredJ | September 23, 2007 4:18 PM
I'm sorry but I believe Keith Birmingham did miss something. The facts and the game. 6 action photos, 10 stands, fans & benchs??????? Come on...leave your bias at home when your working.

Honestly, people need to get their facts straight about the reason the fight was started. I play for BHS volleyball and I have friends who go to SDHS. Yes, we have a rivalry, but some people choose to let it get out of control. Don't label the whole school/s for this brawl that happened involving only a few from each high school. Smudgepot is going to have a lot of security, it's just immature people (including some from my school) that ruin it for the rest of us.
Btw. I was at the game, and most of your facts aren't straight. I suggest you try to find SOME truth before posting an article, thanks.
Posted by: BHS Student | September 23, 2007 3:38 PM
honestly, is anyone even aware of the reason the fight was started?! san dimas students/fans were throwing lettuce, mustard, etc. at the bonita fans. when the bonita parent found out who one of those people were, he confronted him. it's a high school game, the parents did something wrong, BIG DEAL. it was a rivalry game, obviously things were going to get a little crazy, but people need to realize that that isn't the true nature of the parents (i'm hoping). everyone needs to get over it, and let it go.

Anon, I don't know this to be true other than the blog comments posted. Obviously, if a parent attacks a child, that person should be arrested and banned from attending games the rest of the year.
Posted by: FredJ | September 23, 2007 12:38 PM
it does say that these parents were fighting during the game. this was not a fight. it was simplyy a man coming to the rescue of his son. these pictures show the man in the blue throwing a punch but they do not show the man in the black chocking a young kid. or hitting the man in blue first. nor do they show the man in black coming up the stands yelling at high school students threatening to "kick their asses" who is this man in black does anyone know? it seems to me that everyone should just forgett about this and let it all go.. its done and over actions from the schools are being taken now can we all please just get over it...

And all this talk about Bonita fans this, and San Dimas fans that, let it rest. I'm sure from all of your experiences you know that the overwhelming majority of fans and parents at high schools events are first class. Don't judge the schools or their fans because of a few isolated incidents.
Posted by: FredJ | September 23, 2007 12:00 PM
Thanks Joe Amat, there are many more pictures of the game than the incident in the stands. I've read all the comments and there seems to an overwhelming majority who feels a student was attacked by an adult, and that an adult reacted in that kids self-defense. If this is true, and since these are blog discussions it's a complete hypothetical. But assuming this is true, then the question we should be discussing is how incidents like this should be handled. How should parents react, and what is the responsibility of the schools? This is something we can all learn from, I'm sure both people involved in the picture regret what happened. But lets do all of us favor and talk about how this can be prevented in the future.

Your right, your photographer Keith is a spectacular artist. How about some pictures of what everyone cares about. Not the fight in the stands. Not the bench of each team at their respective good or bad points in the game. Let's see the game photos. Let the players see themselves in action. Not this amateur photo contest that you call news worthy.

fred yer a jackass and maybe you should go after the 6FT 5IN 280 LB ANIMAL that was choking the 5ft 150 lb inoccent kid and thanking the man in the blue shirt for saving the poor kid
Posted by: Anonymous | September 22, 2007 9:36 PM
No,no. pictures don't lie. Mr Blue Shirt threw a punch - period. that is not in question - it is a fact. the photo is something that happened and appears on this blog. no one has printed a story. the only thing that has been printed here on the blog is,
"And parents, fans, or whoever you're, you should be embarrassed. That's why we're throwing your childish act on the blog."
thats pretty accurate - isn't it?
Posted by: Anonymous | September 22, 2007 9:25 PM
I know the man in the blue shirt very well! This is not the type of person he is. But i think all of you parents would agree if anything was happening to your child (as in being choked) you would react in the same way! And in this case pictures are not a thousand words. Before you print a story make sure you have all the facts correct!!!!!!!!!!! And to all you parents posting stuff about being a bad parent etc. I do agree with you maybe this wasn't the way to resolve things but... you can't fault a parent for protecting his child! For those of you who are parents i think you would agree you would protect your child no matter what!

I seriously doubt that GMIER made the comment about the Bonita baseball team retaliating towards the San Dimas baseball team. These two teams have played each other 1 or 2 times every year and have handled themselves with nothing but class, and he personally has more class than that.

I find it funny how 1 or more of the FORMER San Dimas baseball players, who either were removed from the team for disciplinary issues or had known drug problems, or their much more mature parents are accusing current San Dimas baseball players of instigating this fight.
They all need to learn how to deal with the real world and realize that if you don’t get your way it’s not everyone else’s fault.

YOU ALL REALLY SHOULD GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE TALKING ALL THIS TRASH.
really.
what are all of you?
40's? 50s? ADULTS CORRECT?
so how come children can get on this,
post comments that are more mature than your own?
Do you realize how ridiculous you all sound?
Someones CHILD was physically ATTACKED[choked]
and youre all gonna sit here and tell me
you wouldnt do ONE thing about that?
you would let a 40-50 year old man put his hands
on your child?
for something he wasn't even sure if he did..
if you would tell me that you wouldnt.
youre all a bunch of liars..
and i dont know about the bonita parent..
but how DARE YOU call the san dimas parent
a "drunkard" for protecting his child.
YOU ALL REALLY SHOULD LEARN SOME FACTS
before you start putting your "opinions"
all over the internet.
you all really should be embarassed
for talking so much trash.
when really you have NO IDEA WHAT WENT ON.
god bless the man in the BLUE SHIRT for protecting his child :]

Have charges been filed? If someone chokes my kid, I press charges. Who cares about some CIF investigation? What good is that. I think, Phil Spector and O.J. are requesting a CIF investigations for thier cases. Whats the deal?
Posted by: Anonymous | September 22, 2007 1:22 PM
point being
1-someone threw something
2) someone got ticked off and took the matter in their own hands
3) said ticked off person retaliates to the wrong person
4) all hell breaks loose
That , exactly, describes the "Malice in the Palace" between the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers.
Have we not learned?
Posted by: Joe Amat | September 22, 2007 1:03 PM
Just to let all of you know one of the facts. The kid that was attacked did not throw the bottle at the Bonita parent!!! He was just laughing at him because the man was going crazy and yelling and swearing. So the man assumed that he had thrown it. You know what they say about assuming!!!!!
Posted by: Anonymous | September 22, 2007 12:50 PM
The Trib did nothing but post the photos on the website. Photos are facts. Those photos were not doctored. They depict actual events. Thta even IS subject to interpretation of what *led up to* that which is pictured. So his actions are justified by what happened "prior to" the photo. Is that what we want - to live in a vigilante society where some dad feels that it is ok to attack a kid because he threw something.? And then it becomes ok to retaliate? You CAN'T take things in your own hands. Unless you are willing to suffer the consequences.. and publicity. The Trib (and Fred) have refrained from reporting anything until *facts* are determined. Sounds like protocol to me.
In this day and age ANYTHING that you do may get captured on film or tape. It might be a good idea to live your life knowing that. Lord know, Britney can't go out without undies before the whole world has the photos. Remember the wrestling dad who came out of the stands to throw a 9 yr old off his son as he was about to get pinned? Or the youth football coach who leveled a player that hit his son after the whistle blew? He had some time ALONE to think about those actions. How about the high school coach from San Pedro that was caught moving the yard marker so his team could get a 1st down-and was caught on an opponents scouting tape? Then that leads to the Little Leaguer from Michigan on ESPN at the Little League World Series who spit in his own hand before shaking the winners hand after the game.
Maybe we should worry more about the ACTIONS instead of the photos.
Big Brother is watching you!

I know SD officials would have taken care of the problem. In regard to the media comment, they’re the problem. They only tell you what they think will sell. They get uneducated stupid idiots like you to comment. Who are you to judge and say SD parents don't know how to raise their kids. Look at your parents they failed you. Shame on them.

Karen, I'll say it again, The Tribune has not published a story on this incident, however we're looking into it. If there is an investigation by CIF as one blogger suggested, we'll make phone calls on Monday to confirm it and report the latest. Everything you read are blog comments, not news reports. And there was no hesitation in putting these images on the blog, which was not only accepted, but encouraged by top management. In fact the pictures were on our galleries page long before I published them here. Incidents like this could get thrown under the rug if we don't report them. And when school districts and eyewitness are unwilling to speak, then sometimes all you have are images to tell a small portion of the story. If there is a CIF investigation or even a police investigation, you can bank that the exposure of these images helped spark it. If, as you suggested this was a parent defending his child, then you would expect arrests or charges to be filed, but as of this post, we have no knowledge of even a complaint being filed. If someone feels there reputation is taking an unfair hit because of these images, you can call us to tell us what happened. We would be thankful to hear what you have to say. We won't know the truth until people, especially those involved, start talking. And Karen, I'm far from a saint who lives a perfect life. I haven't met anyone like that yet.

Athletic Director's from Bonita, Eric Podley & from San Dimas Nikki Bonomo are meeting with CIF this week to come up with a resoloution to these despicable parents. I have heard that along with Thom Simmons from CIF they are working on a enforcing a lifetime ban from all high school sporting events for these two drunkard parents.
Posted by: mike bascarino | September 22, 2007 9:43 AM
I think this is really sad in this day and age. I feel that everyone needs to take a deep breath! I know that things were being thrown around at the game but, that parent choking the kid over reacted!!! He could have notified someone. I was sitting 3 rows down from where the fight took place. I saw several school officials in the area watching over the students making sure they weren’t getting too out of hand. Kids will be kids. I'm not saying what they did was right, but the adult should have known better to do that to a child! Mrs. Kulow was in front of the area on several occasions watching over things. She even made a comment when asked by someone in the crowd. "Why aren’t you watching the game?" She replied, “Because, I'm watching them." That parent had every opportunity, and could have walked up to her and told her what was taking place. Everyone knows that emotions run high at rival games. But, that parent has issues. All of my children have attended San Dimas H.S. It is a great school; all three of them have played sports for them. This is the first time I ever witnessed something like this at our games. I think that a reporter should get the story straight and post comments under people’s pictures correctly on all Pictures Posted! on San Dimas Saints because, he made us really look bad. He did not talk about how well we did even though we lost the match we gave them a run for their money! We were clearly the better team this year, in this match. Even though we lost. Bonita just got lucky this time. Bonita does have an arrogance about them when they come to SD because they have beat us in this game for many years but our girls are wonderful talented players who come from parents with class.
Posted by: San Dimas VB Parent | September 22, 2007 9:26 AM
First of all, why don't all of you bother to really find out what happened before you make judgements about other people!! You have to realize the source of your information! This is the media. I have always been told to take what they say with a grain of salt because they embellish the truth. Now I know first hand what they are talking about!! They take a picture and a small bit of info and build it up into whatever story that will excite their readers. THE FIGHT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHO WON THE GAME!! What it had to do with is an adult physically attacking somebody's child!!! ( He was choking him) Then when the man in the blue shirt went to rescue his son the man in the black shirt hit him. So he hit him back. If all you stuck up people would be perfectly honest with yourselves, you would admit that if somebody was attacking your child you would do the same thing he did!! I am a woman and I know my mother instinct would come out to protect my cubs and you just react!! And I say you are a liar if you say you would not do the same thing!! As for the reporter not being able to get a comment, they fail to mention that the reporter just walked onto San Dimas HS campus and was specifically asking all the students where one particular person was, who they thought would have some info. But these kids were smarter than the reporter and told them they did'nt know where the the student was.(The student was sitting right there!!) So Fred Robledo, do you think that maybe you should have gotten some of your information first and had some sort of compassion with your judgement before you posted this blog for all the world to see!! These are people with reputations and lives and who are you to decide to air all of this!!! I hope that you live an immaculate sort of life and that you or yours don't come in contact with the same sort of person like yourself in the same sort of circumstance.

Not that I'm aware of. We had reporters working on it yesterday, but they weren't getting much cooperation from the schools. If there is no police complaint filed, there isn't much we can do unless eyewitnesses come forward, or the school district decides to publicly take action.

LC i think you need to get your facts straight before telling everyone else to. Your comments are just rude. THIS IS A RIVALRY everyone expects something to break out. God for bid it happened at SDHS. If we were at Bonita it would have happened there. It is students vs. students and it is unfortunate that they do not take into consideration that parents are present but lets not take all our anger out on San Dimas. It was in fact a BONITA FAN THAT CHOKED A MINOR. Yes we did provoke it, but BONITA KEEP YOUR FLAG AT YOUR SCHOOL.
It was a great game and thats what the pictures and everyone should focus on not old men fighting.
I PERSONALLY KNOW THE GUY IN YELLOW he was also trying to stop the fight just has a lot of intensity thanks. So please keep your remarks to yourself.

If anyone wants to know why San Dimas Lost? Look at how many years these coaches when it is critical to win, they seem to set up the team to loose. At the level these girls are at the coaches should be concentrating on winning & stop playing favorites. When you’re in high school you should be getting ready for college not Jr high, or figuring out what you’re going to do next year. Coaches should be there to win this year! at this level.
I hope they see what they are doing before the season gets too far.
Oh! And that fight, the guy chocking the kid was having a vision that he was chocking his daughters coach.

From reading the 12 different versions offered here, it is time to reasonably analyze this.
First, students sitting among adults begin to throw mustard, ketchup, etc, everywhere.
Next, a student pulls out his wang in front of other students, adults, seniors and his own parents and fills a bottle full of urine and then throws it at everyone.
Finally, a parent begins to choke the kid in front of other parents, players, seniors, children, etc. but in today's world no one uses a cell phone to call the police to report a grown man choking the kid?
Processing...Processing...Processing...
Answer - it's a blog and everyone is full of s@#T!
Fred, you will never get a straight answer, there has never been a truthful statement on any blog thread ever, no one will accept blame so just keep doing what you are doing.

If kids are out of control, then find the people in charge. The bonita pricipal was there, board members were their also!
If any parent came after my kid and was choking him, you bet charges would be file. What idoit attacks a minor unless his life is in danger!
Who is the ADULT here?

Who cares if an area is considered "White" or not, thats beyond the point. I am caucasian and some of the rudest most shallow people I have ever met are caucasian so dont generalize.
It is what it is and people are people... Keep it simple...
Although regarding San Dimas I will say that my family and I went to the Covina vs San Dimas girls basketball game last year and when we cheered for Covina I felt as if they wanted to get physical, Covina was winning but barely and hey we support them...
They kept shooting stares that would kill back to us and alot of these kids were in lettermens jackets, it was sad and I even told them to settle down and it was just a game...
It was a one time incident but why there are self esteem issues is beyond me...

Wow. And u people say schools like workman lp. Basset. Bp. SV are bad. That they are all ghetto. But u hardyly ever hear bout them fighting in the crowds. Samething happend wit san dimas last year wit the basketball team. Last games or so of the year. And this is suppose 2 be a mostly white dominated area! Geez!

My friend showed me this and I am not shocked. Ganesha High School plays San Dimas in every sport. Because we are from Pomona we get the nasty label that we are "wild gang bangers." Every year we go out of our way to show sportsmanship so we can lose the untrue label. Everyear we explain to our players and students that just because the Saints act that way doesn't make it ok. The last time I was in Bonita's gym was for a volleyball game and the Bonita parents/students were out of control and rude. Here are two schools from "good neighborhoods" and yet... Look at the pictures. I hope the shame alone will keep these parents from attending anymore games. If this was a player or coach they would be suspended for atleast one game. Come on principals, do your job! Run an investigation and keep these parents away from the court. Good for you SGV for making sure the people in charge are forced to take some action.

ONE MORE QUESTION I HAVE FOR ALL OF YOU THAT SAY THE BONITA PARENT WAS NOT OUT OF LINE IS.... HOW COME AFTER EVERYTHING HAPPENED HE RAN TO HIS CAR AND LEFT THE SCHOOL THE SECOND HE KNEW THE POLICE WERE CONTACTED? HAHAHAHAHA THIS WHOLE ARTICLE IS A JOKE.

The Bonita Principal was there to keep his students in check, where was the San Dimas Principal? The san dimas crowd was way out of line throwing food at the bonita parents. the rivalry is between the schools not the parents. they were there to watch their daughters play. And what Idiot pees in a bottle.

I AM A SAN DIMAS HIGH STUDENT AND I WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE WHEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED. THE BONITA PARENT DID NOT GET HIT BY THE BOTTLE. IT WENT AROUND HIS FEET. HE CAME RUNNING UP THE STANDS SCREAMING CUSS WORDS AT STUDENTS!!! OUT OF CONTROL. HE GRABBED A KID BY THE SHIRT AND THEN PROCEEDED TO CHOKE HIM AROUND THE NECK! A 40 YEAR OLD MAN CHOKING A KID!!! THE PARENT OF THE KID BEING CHOKED CAME TO BREAK IT UP AND THE BONITA MAN PUNCHED HIM IN THE FACE. OUT OF SELF DEFENSE THE SAN DIMAS PARENT PUNCHED HIM BACK.
THERE WERE NO CHARGES FILED BECAUSE THE BONITA PARENT RAN AFTER BEING NOTIFIED THAT THE POLICE WERE ON THE WAY. WHILE THE SAN DIMAS PARENT STAYED AT SPOKE WITH POLICE.
ALL YOU FOOLS SHOULD GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU POST THESE THINGS TALKING CRAP!! ITS RIDICLOUS!!

I was told that some of the San Dimas baseball kids were throwing the bottles of urine over to Bonita's side. I wouldn't doubt it, they are coached by the tyrant Regan. He would justify this as "We hate Bonita and anything goes".

I can't believe some of you are questioning Fred's "class." The pictures posted on the web are doing just what they should -- causing public shame and helping with the investigation. This is what real journalists do and Fred is and has been one of the classiest and best reporters in the entire LA area for a long time now.
Great job Fred and the Trib - you're right. No adult should ever put his hands on another for any reason.

To everyone who plays volleyball, we will start a weekly volleyball thread with rankings next week. It's obvious there is lots of interest. Just looking at the pictures from the volleyball gallery, you could tell the stands were packed and the energy was through the building. We will also have a weekly water polo thread with rankings.

OK SERIOUSLY -- I WOULD HAVE FLIPPED OUT TOO IF I EVEN SUSPECTED ANYONE'S URINE TOUCHING ANY PART OF ME OR THOSE CLOSE ENOUGH. SAD TO SAY, BUT THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE THE PROPER AMOUNT OF SUPERVISION. I THINK THE SCHOOL WHERE THE GAME WAS HELD SHOULD TAKE JUST AS MUCH RESPONSIBILTY - YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE CROWDS AS CONTROLLED AS POSSIBLE. EMBARRASING IS THE RIGHT WORD FOR THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR. I AM BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THE ADULTS ARE ALMOST AS BAD AS THE KIDS. SHAMEFUL AND THE PERSON OR PERSONS WHO STARTED ALL OF THIS - THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND SOME OF YOU SPECTATORS KNOW WHO WAS REALLY TO BLAME, NOT NECESSARILY THE ONE WHO GOT THE URINE THROWN ON THEM AND REACTED ACCORDINGLY.

It is being investigated by the authorities and felony assault charges will most likely be pressed thanks to the pictures taken by the Tribune.

How convenient, Let's just sweep this under the rug and make it go away. "Let's not talk to the press so this whole thing will just go away?". I may not have seen or heard both sides of the story but ughmmmm....a picture is worth a thousand words... an assault and battery occured here between parents, they sure weren't kissing each other.
Where is the accountability and consequences? How irresponsible for the school to try to make this disappear into thin air. What are we teaching our youngsters, that it is okay to fight at school games? By trying to cover up this embarrassing story will only make things worse now.
Posted by: All about Justice | September 20, 2007 3:01 PM
I'm really disappointed in both school districts. A reporter was actually kicked off the San Dimas high school campus for inquiring about what happened at the volleyball match. Both San Dimas and Bonita high schools should be taking action, or at least issuing a statement acknowledging that an incident took place. No police reports have been filed, so unless there is cooperation from the public or the school district, unfortunately, the only punishment to come from this is the embarrassment of these images being published.
Posted by: FredJ | September 20, 2007 2:45 PM
Hey parents, I have an opening for my show next week, it's called "white trash hooligans at High School Volley ball games". Oh and bring a bottle filled with urine that you can throw at each other, that would really rock the ratings!

Coaches need to have better crowd control of their students and parents. I know they are coaching and involved in the game but they can hear and see whats going on. Forfiets of the teams next game should be applied to both schools so that this does not happen again. I do not care if was their parents , if parents and students want to behave this way then the team should suffer.

Mmmm? Last week at my child's Football meeting I asked the Booster Club president, why they don't show up for the freshman games? Her response was, last year was awful, parents and older kids were yelling at the players and coaches obsene names and got out of control.
So I replied back,this is my first year having one my sons in a public high school, my oldest went to a private school and I recall the School main focus was God, family and then sports. It was mandatory for parents to participate and volunteer at the school to show your support and be there for you kids.
So, before we scold any kid, don't forget the parents. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR KIDS ACTIONS. IT'S WHAT YOU TEACH AT HOME,THAT REFLECTS TO THE WORLD OUTSIDE.

Walnut 3-0, D-IIAA #6
St. Lucy's 3-0, D-IIAA # 9

Posted by: Chris Rome | September 20, 2007 12:28 PM
Calm down Fred - I'm not justifying these actions! I was one of the adults prying the two adults apart. If you read my e-mail, I said the behavior displayed last night was unacceptable. I don't condone any of the violence that took place. I spoke about lack of supervision when these big rivalry games are on. Our kids need to be safe at these types of events, and the incident that occurred last night was due to lack of supervision on the SD side.
This subject does needs to be addressed by the school district so something like this never occurs again.
Posted by: pw | September 20, 2007 12:26 PM
LC. That is why it is important for the Tribune to get the facts. A few bad apples messing it up for the rest of us. Kids 15 and up should be accountable, as well as the parents of these kids.
Posted by: Otter | September 20, 2007 12:19 PM
Chris Rome, you failed to mention that the guy that got hit was choking one of the students. The father of that student (who did not throw the bottle) went up to save his son and the guy hit him in the face first. Also, the language that this guy was yelling at the students was horrible, dropping F-bomb's left and right. But I guess you didn't see all that. How convenient!
Posted by: golfer1 | September 20, 2007 12:15 PM
I do agree with your Fred, no parent should behave as they did, but lets just remember that it was the San Dimas parent who threw the first punch, the Bonita parent was trying to restore the order, unfortunately because of this out of control san dimas parent, the bonita parent was forced to defend himself. He was not in it for a fight..But now he looks like the bad guy, which is unfortunate.
Posted by: lc | September 20, 2007 12:12 PM
Should we be really surprised. MTC has been telling us about the problems down at JAA and Little League level and some of the problems there,this is just another sign of out of control parents. It has just crept into the high school level. And this is nothing new why is everyone so surprised? Just because it happened in the SGV? Go to a JAA game or a little league game and just listen to the nonsense in the stands and on the sidelines from parents and coaches.These are the same guys that probably pull this crap of being jack asses all the time.

PW, that's how you justify it, by blaming it on the kids for starting the fight. No adults should ever, EVER, put their hands on one another. They're the ones that should restore order, not allow it to escalate by getting in a heated argument that results in punches being thrown. I don't care who's throwing ketchup, mustard or other disgusting stuff that you mentioned, there's still no excuse for two adults to reach a level where both are eventually grabbing at each other's throats, with kids and other adults trying to pry them apart. That's irresponsible, period. We're a newspaper, and these images are news, whether you agree or disagree.

To all of you making comments, why don't you get your facts straight? Especially you Fred. This incident was started by San Dimas students, throwing insults, food and urine at Bonita fans, including the elderly. It escalated into a fight when a bonita parent asked the San Dimas student who threw a bottle of urine to please stop. The first punch was thrown by the parent of that student. Obviously the Bonita/San Dimas cross town rivalry has gotten out of a control. I only hope that Bonita Unified administration will see the need to get involved and put a stop to this out of control behavior. As the parent of a Bonita High athlete, I will not allow my student to attend SmudgePot next month ,because frankly, I don't think it is safe for any Bearcat student to step foot on the Saints campus.

Fred - you should be totally ashamed of yourself to publish these pictures. You were not there. This fight happened because of delinquent children in the stands throwing food at the fans in the stands. I can report that I was covered with mayo, mustard and lettuce, as other Bonita fans too. There were elderly people getting hit over and over, and it was offensive to all of us in the stands. Food was not the only thing being thrown at the fans. There were several other items, but the last straw was a juice bottle with urine in it. The Bonita side of the stands was in check because the Bonita principal was there supervising the kids. The San Dimas side was not being supervised properly and were just unbearable - and if you are a parent of any of these kids involved - then you are the ones that should be ashamed. The gentleman that was struck in the pictures was just trying to let the unruly kid know that his behavior was not unacceptable. And guess what? The parent of that delinquent boy that threw the bottle of urine stepped in and condoned that child's behavior by throwing the punch at the Bonita parent. Parents need to go to the school district and tell them that this kind of behavior is unacceptable and will not ever be permitted again.
Fred - you are irresponsible to print a story like this without getting the facts. I miss Aram T. - he has so more class than you do.

We have reporters calling the schools to find out what happened, and to find out if any arrests were made, but we're getting the standard, "No comment." These two fighting in the pictures should be banned from attending games the rest of the season, or at least be suspended. The schools need to act to show that this kind of behavior isn't tolerated.
