A spokesperson for the sheriff's office spoke to the Thread later Friday morning and said no one involved in the scuffle was injured badly enough to require hospitalization. He said the fighting primarily involved four students, and Hillcrest High School is looking to handle the matter internally - no arrests were made in the immediate aftermath of the brawl.

Terri Brewer, a spokeswoman for the county school system, said they were aware of the fight and would handle any disciplinary action in accordance with the Hillcrest High code of conduct.
