Security was heightened Saturday during the game between Howard High School and Archmere High School.

Matthews' son is the quarterback for Howard High School. She says you can never be too cautious, it's just a shame to have to worry about something like this. "It is tough. High school is supposed to be a time where you come hang out with friends, watch the game, and it seems all these accommodations have to be made just to make sure nothing crazy happens," said Matthews.Next week, officials are considering starting the game early once again and issuing tickets ahead of time.
