Why is R2 silent on Friday fight?

Why is Richland Two silent about the huge melee at the football game on Friday night?

You know, the huge fight involving many people at the Spring Valley-Ridge View football game on September 9, 2022?

Want to see part of it? Look at the video posted to the Facebook page of Richland2 Black Parents Association:   https://www.facebook.com/richland2blackparents

Be sure to have your speakers on. Now, imagine being there.

According to The State Newspaper, Richland County Sheriff's Department had only this to say on Twitter: “We’re getting lots of questions about an incident at the Ridge View-Spring Valley game tonight. A fight broke out and the game was called. The crowd was told to leave.” (Source: www.thestate.com/sports/high-school/article265578731.html#storylink=cpy)

OK, RCSD. Where are some answers???

And Supt. Davis had this to say:

“Dear Ridge View High and Spring Valley High Parents,

"Tonight during the third quarter of the varsity football game a fight broke out between several individuals in the area right above the home stands at Harry Parone Stadium. 

"Due to the disruption caused by the fight, the game was stopped while law enforcement, school administrators and district officials responded. No weapons were involved and no major injuries have been reported. However, multiple individuals are being detained at this time. 

"As a precaution, the decision was made to not resume the game and guests were asked to leave the stadium in a safe and orderly fashion. 

"We wanted to make you aware of what occurred to prevent the spread of rumor and misinformation about the incident. Additionally, we also wanted to assure you that we are taking this matter seriously and will be reviewing all of our safety procedures for athletic events. Thank you for your continued support.” (Source: www.thestate.com/sports/high-school/article265578731.html#storylink=cpy)

So, where is the NEWS? How many students were involved? From what schools were those students? Any troublemakers from out-of-district schools? How many were arrested? One rumor is the Richland One's A.C. Flora's students were fighting. How many deputies were involved? How many injuries? How much damage?

There is absolutely NO information on Richland 2's website about this!
