Update: School District Committed to Sportsmanship

On Monday, Fox 2 reported that a potential basketball playoff game between University City High School and district rival Normandy could have taken place under lockdown.

The "locked down" game was averted when U City lost a game to Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School (MICDS) Monday night

On Tuesday, the districts released a joint statement regarding the potential basketball game.  

The statement reads:

While we will not be paired against each other in basketball playoff contests this year, our athletes and the spectators who come to support them are committed to displaying sportsmanship-like behavior when they interact with each other. We believe that is is unfair when one or two incidents are generalized to represent the behavior of all students from the School District of University City and the Normandy School District.
