A recent Cibola versus Espanola varsity boys basketball game ended with fans assaulting Cibola players and a coach, rocks thrown at the team bus, and a car trying to run the bus off the road. Principal Don Duran advocates healing and cross school student groups to foster understanding, while urging accountability for those involved.
