LAS VEGAS -- Five boys basketball players from Sierra Vista and three from Bonanza were suspended Monday for their roles in an altercation that occurred during a Southwest Class 4-A Division game at Bonanza on Friday night.

The players, whose names were not released by the Clark County School District or the Southern Nevada Officials Association, sat out games Monday. Sierra Vista lost 59-45 at Western, and Bonanza won 69-65 at Spring Valley.

Also, Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association commissioner Eddie Bonine said one of the five Sierra Vista players was suspended an additional four games by the school for entering the stands and being involved in a separate incident.

All eight players were ejected from Friday's game after a foul with eight seconds remaining sparked an incident during which two players left the Sierra Vista bench. Under NIAA rules, an ejected player is suspended for his team's next game.

Sierra Vista was leading by double figures when one of its players leaped to catch an apparent alley-oop pass and was fouled by a Bonanza player.

Officials association commissioner Marc Ratner reviewed game films from both teams, spoke with game officials and administrators from both schools and met with CCSD officials before determining the suspensions.

Ratner and CCSD assistant athletic director Pam Sloan said order had been restored and Bonanza's team had gone to its locker room when another incident broke out in the stands.

CCSD police used pepper spray in an attempt to break up the second incident, during which a Sierra Vista player went into the stands and apparently participated.

Bonine said that player was given the additional suspension by Sierra Vista's athletic administration, which could not be reached for comment.

Ratner said a ruling regarding the outcome of the game -- which was suspended at the time of the altercation -- probably will be made within the next few days.

The teams will meet again at Sierra Vista on Feb. 13 in the regular-season finale.
