Video shows students rushing into the stands, though it’s unclear the extent of their involvement in the incident.

By NJSIAA rules, “any player that leaves the bench area during an altercation, regardless of whether the player engages in the altercation, shall be disqualified,” meaning any wrestler identified in the brawl would be DQ’d for the rest of the season.

It’s unclear whether Knox, the star wrestler, was involved in the melee. Knox is heavily favored to become N.J.‘s fifth four-time state champion, if he were to win in Atlantic City in two weeks.

My understanding is that there's a video clearly showing the kid going into the stands and throwing punches. The punches would be irrelevant to the NJSIAA decision (but not to the police). However, I believe other kids also went up there. Likely, if one dqed, all that can be identified would also be.
