PRATTVILLE, Ala. — A fight involving dozens of fans at a Prattville and Stanhope Elmore high school girls basketball game forced police to fire Tasers to stop it and clear the gym. The game was canceled.

Witnesses said the melee, apparently sparked by an earlier dispute between students of the two rival schools, began in an upper deck and spilled onto the floor.

"There were chairs being thrown and people running all over the place," said Stan Davis, a Prattville man watching the game Tuesday night. "I grabbed my 8-year-old daughter and we just tried to stay out of the way."

District Attorney Randall Houston (search) said Thursday that arrest warrants were issued for three adults and six juveniles, including three teen-agers taken into custody Tuesday night on misdemeanor charges. Others were still to be served. Houston said more serious assault charges were involved in some cases.

Police Chief Alfred Wadsworth said Wednesday investigators were still gathering evidence, including from the game videotape.

The chief said some fight participants were hit with Tasers, which can incapacitate a person with an electrical jolt.

He said there was an altercation between students at the two schools at a Prattville fast-food restaurant last week. Prattville (search) and Stanhope Elmore (search), in Millbrook, are high school sports rivals in neighboring Autauga and Elmore counties.
