Officials from two high-profile Westside high schools are ramping up security and requesting help from parents after a parking-lot skirmish broke out when the rivals met on the basketball court less than three weeks ago.
The preparations come as Santa Monica High School and Beverly Hills High School prepare to square off in a matchup between the first-and-second-place teams in the Ocean League.
Video of a confrontation following the schools’ Jan. 23 basketball game surfaced recently showing students leaving the game and shouting expletives at one another in the parking lot.
Santa Monica High School students also “rushed” Beverly Hills High students who were sitting inside a car, Samohi Principal Eva Mayoral wrote in a letter to parents sent on Friday.
