"New security rules for people attending football games at Ben Davis High School are now being enforced after a recent fight between students from different schools during last week’s home football game."
"The MSD Wayne Township Schools superintendent said the fight was between Ben Davis students and students from outside the district, prompting the new security measures to be considered."
The first two paragraphs.
Dr. Butts has commented publicly, so I feel as if I can comment. These updated security measures were related to an altercation in the home stands during the Avon/BD game. I witnessed much of it.
Last night, the game, to my knowledge and from what I saw, went off without incident.
This is the reality at most Marion County schools. BD is not the only school with metal detectors. I have been wanded also at most MIC schools. We have the wand detectors at BD.
BD's away side is the former home side. It seats probably 4K conservatively. There's always plenty of room.
I'm not sure how the practice went down at the gate.
Coach Willen passes during Homecoming week. It's only appropriate, I guess.
I did not ever meet the man in person, but I had many many conversations about Warren Central with WC grad, Mike Kirschner. He mentioned Coach Willen often. I know he was the kind of teacher we all hope to be. My condolences to everyone on the Eastside and to all the players and staff. Coach Willen has the best seat in the house now. Sending you all love from the Westside.

I don't think I can argue against anything. I think they have the potential to be good if they can correct what ails them. Daylan Carnell is that athlete, but he didn't get many touches on offense.
A couple of months early? #BasketballScore
That explains why Bob Lovell was talking about the "ton of points" North Central scored. I was confused. LOL
Yes, and if we put it in Indy 500 terms, the Giants were trying to qualify for the Indy 500 in a 1950's roadster vs. Avon's 2019 IndyCar last night.
It's always tough to go into that stadium and get a win. I know Warren and St. X had some controversy at the end of a game a few years back that ended that series.
Perhaps the most steps I've ever climbed to get to the press box in my life. I had to use the bathroom, but I just held it until the end of the game because I didn't want to climb back up those bleachers.
Great atmosphere. The people were welcoming to us when BD played there...of course they kicked the living daylights out of us. Trip was wrong from the start. BD arrived way early and the locker room at that time wasn't big enough for everybody BD dressed, so they waited in the hot sun before warmups, etc. Played sluggish and got it handed to us.
As I recall, BD got down 14-0. Chris Evans caught an apparent touchdown from Kyle Castner but the play was stopped and he was ruled out back towards midfield (something that didn't show on the video). I wish Brownsburg the best!
