JACKSON, Mich. (AP) — Officials say seven students have been suspended following a fight after a boys' high school basketball game in southern Michigan.

The fight occurred after Vandercook Lake defeated East Jackson 47-46 at the buzzer on Friday.

The fight also is under investigation by police. Blackman-Leoni Public Safety Department Director Mike Jester says the investigating officer has reviewed video of the fight and interviewed people involved. He says a report is expected to be completed this week.

The report is expected to be reviewed by the Jackson County prosecutor's office.
