A Ross S. Sterling High School student has been cited for misdemeanor assault following a Friday altercation in the football players’ locker room, according to Baytown police.

Six other students who were involved have been disciplined in accordance with the Goose Creek school district’s discipline management plan, said Goose Creek spokeswoman Kathy Clausen.

The incident occurred during the school’s fifth period when the lights in the locker room were turned off for about five to 10 seconds. Football coaches were in the hallway outside the locker room and immediately put a stop to the altercation, Clausen said.

The student was not seriously injured, she said.

Sterling principal Trey Kraemer and head football coach Herb Minyard investigated the incident, she said

Citing student privacy laws, Clausen did not identify the victim or assailant or assailants. She did not know the extent of the alleged victims’ injuries.

Kraemer met with the alleged victim’s mother Monday morning, Clausen said.

I've personally seen alot wors than this in PNG's lockerroom, but the press never got wind of it.

The problem is the zero tolerance rule. They report everything to the police and press charges. When I was in school it was between you, the other person and the coaches. It stayed in the locker room and thats as far as it went.

From the news report, it is hard to tell what happened anyway. They list conflicting information, which is not unusual.

Was it just a fight between students and a kid got a ticket or was it an assault with injuries?

An assault is one sided but the article also mentions altercation which is a fight. Six other students were also disciplined. If the police are issuing citations for the altercation, why were they not given a citation if they were involved?

About all that you can tell from the article is that something happened, the news media got wind of it and no one will likely find out the truth.

Vince Lombardi had a rule that said: " What you see here what you say here........ What you hear here let it stay here .........When you leave here

It's a bunch of crap, the kids folks are probably trying to get some $$$$ and that stinks ! I think most of us have seen much worse.

From what I have heard is it was 1 white male in the locker room that has been picked on this past year. and the 6 other male individuals were of another race. And they jumped him. I heard this from someone that goes to school their. So take it for what it is worth.
