The trouble began as attendees of the junior varsity game left the Palisade Avenue gymnasium around 8:45 p.m., Detective Capt. Darren Sucorowski said.
Responding officers -- including city police and Bergen County sheriff's officers -- got members of the group to go their separate when one of them "disregarded the officer's commands and started fighting again," Sucorowski said.
