A fight breaks out in the stands during a local high school basketball game resulting in two arrests.

NBC25 was rolling when the melee ensued with several people trading punches.

It was at Saginaw Valley State University with nearly 3,500 people watching Saginaw Arthur Hill and Saginaw High battling on the hard court.

The Saginaw County sheriff says it's unfortunate the actions of a few ruined the experience for everyone else.

Sheriff William Federspiel says, "We've got young people, high schoolers, going out to see some very good teams here in Saginaw County. The Ryder Center at SVSU opens their doors so we can put as many people in there as possible to watch this exciting game, and then we have a couple people that decide to try to ruin it for everybody by fighting and being disorderly. I'm glad no one was injured and didn't turn out to be worse than it was."

Police arrested two people for disorderly conduct, 17-year-old Dequerion Haynes and 21-year-old Cameron Hood.

They both bonded out of the Saginaw County Jail.

Saginaw High ended up winning the game by 22 points.
