Three basketball players from Hart and Valencia will sit out half a game after an incident following Valencia's 69-57 win over Hart. The original full-game suspension for the players was reduced after administrators met Monday evening. Video from the game shows Valencia players taunting Hart's parents, cheerleaders, and student section. The incident also involved a Valencia player dunking the ball in Hart's hoop and a subsequent shove. The punishment decision was made by the administrations of the respective schools.
