Multiple fights broke out at a girls middle school basketball game on Wednesday night, and the game had to be canceled.
The Sheriff's Office said the School Resource Deputy assigned to Hixson Middle School was working a girl’s home basketball game against Soddy Daisy Middle School when several fights broke out among players and attendees.
