CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) -- Corvallis School District officials say 20 boys have been disciplined for taking part in a fight club at a Cheldelin Middle School.
No one was seriously injured in the fights that took place after school in a restroom. Principal Lisa Harlan told the Gazette-Times newspaper that no particular individual or group was being targeted. She says the boys are friends with each other and told her the fighting was fun.
The school learned of the situation Friday after some of the participants were overheard discussing videos of the fights recorded on cell phone cameras. Harlan identified the students after reviewing the video.
The students received different levels of punishment depending on their level of involvement.
The 20 boys included 19 eighth-graders and one seventh-grader.
