Transcript for Texas high school investigating alleged racist incident at basketball game
- A Texas high school announced its plans to investigate alleged racist behavior by spectators at a basketball tournament. The incident occurred on Friday at Marble Falls High School during a game with East Central High school. Several students shouted monkey noises when a Black student from East Central High was shooting free throws. ASIA PRUDHOMME: I wasn't really paying attention because I was always taught to like ignore the stand, focus on the free throw. But after I saw the video, It really hit me in the soft spot. - The one at the free throw line, which is right at the end of the second quarter, was the most loud because it's pretty much silent in the gym at that moment during the free throw line. The video footage captured during the incident is currently being reviewed by Marvel Falls High School Administrators. The students and spectators who attended the game will also be interviewed to ensure a thorough investigation. - We're working with the Marble Falls people, the hosts, the host side of it, to handle this administratively. And they were making calls, similar noises that are offensive. And it just it was very unwarranted, very unneeded. - The school said they will hold students accountable for any behaviors that violate our expectations.
