Very embarrassing. Even though Greenwood will get the proverbial black eye in this, there were kids from others schools involved as well so don't hey it twisted. Make no mistake, extremely embarrassing for the community.

Re: Greenwood Jamboree
Mike Hudson is a good man and excellent AD. Hate that he's having to deal with mess like this 
Sucks for all the Greenwood kids that behave. Probably won't even be able to run on the field with the team when they come through the banner like they have for the past 10-15 years. Brutal

Bad kids are everywhere but our sheriff's dept. is who shamed us. If they can't stop school children from fighting what can they do?EmeraldCityEagle98 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 6:09 pmVery embarrassing.

F1S stricter policy cut student fighting by 64%
CHRIS DAY | The Morning News | SCNow.com | Jul 5, 2022
FLORENCE, S.C. — Florence 1 Schools’ stricter policies about threatening or hitting teachers and fighting among students reduced fighting within the district by nearly 64% in the final 114 days of the 2021-22 school year.
The Florence 1 School Board of Trustees approved a new student code of conduct in December.
In the first 66 days of the 2021-22 school year, there were 229 fighting incidents at the district’s four middle schools and three high schools. The number of fights declined to 83 in the final 114 days of the school year – a 63.8% decrease, according to statistics provided by the school districts.
The district, [Superintendent] O’Malley said, knew if it told students fighting wasn’t going to be tolerated, the students would respond, and they did. “Our kids always rise to the occasion, and, as you can see, they did again,” he said. “They just stopped fighting and that’s what we wanted.” Students want to have rules and boundaries, he said. “They want order. They want structure despite of what anyone says,” he said.

Re: Greenwood Jamboree
Certain schools, fan bases, are always known trouble spots. And you can put a stop to trouble before it starts if prepared to do so. Apparently the authorities in Greenwood ignored that fact. Preventative measures most always pay off, but am sure they are afraid to offend anybody in today's PC world.
Re: Greenwood Jamboree
Was this fight with students amongst students or those no longer in school
Got a text from friend down there Saturday am, said it got really ugly
He was told gun shots but said he never heard anything like that

How did the police manage to safely evacuate several thousand people when it couldn't successfully evacuate a handful of trouble makers?
Talk about doing things the hard way.
Maybe next time everyone sneaks back in after the rowdy people leave?
Police brutality is easier to take if the police have camera footage that tells shows why the brutality escalated. The cops don't seem to be taking full advantage of these body cams in the same way civilians are exploiting their camera phones.
