Shooting, fight mar Simeon win

There is a long history of unfortunate incidents during Simeon-Morgan Park games.

Derrick Rose's Simeon squad was attacked by a group of about 30 people on the way to the bus after a Morgan Park game in 2006. This football season the Simeon-Morgan Park game was suspended after shots were reportedly fired at Gately Stadium.

Simeon coach Robert Smith was irate after the game, yelling "that's how badly they want to beat us" at a group of Chicago Public League officials.
