The Thundering Herd was leading Delran, 68-47, when an exchange between players and fans broke out, the outlet said.

“There was an issue in the stands that didn’t really involve our kids,” Athletic Director Dan Howey told the outlet.

New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association rules state that any player that leaves the bench area during an altercation will be disqualified from the game. Seven Woodbury players were disqualified, the report said. 

Last season, Woodbury made it to the South Jersey, Section 1 final.
