The Southwest Parke Community School Corporation has concluded its investigation of the incident that occurred on Saturday, January 10, 2026, at the conclusion of the boys basketball game at Riverton Parke High School. The school investigation included review of all relevant video from the premises and interviews with several students, staff members who were present, and game officials.
Video evidence from the parking lot shows a student from the visiting school using a fist to strike a student from Riverton Parke High School. Video evidence shows a number of parents from both the visiting school and from Riverton Parke High School intervened and quickly separated the students. Video evidence shows that within minutes several law enforcement personnel and EMS were on the scene, having been alerted to the incident via a 911 call.
Social media reports of this situation have included accusations of racism on the part of Riverton Parke High School and its students. Such accusations are extremely hurtful to the school, its students, and its staff members. Interviews conducted with those who were present - students, staff members, and game officials - do not corroborate the accusation of racism in this incident.
The Southwest Parke Community School Corporation would like to commend the staff members who were present for their work with the students, families, and law enforcement officials The Corporation would like to commend the parents and students who remained calm during this situation. The Corporation would also like to commend law enforcement officials and EMS personnel for their rapid response and assistance.
