WATCH: Video Of 'Ashy Knees' Chant At Jefferson vs. Dover Basketball Game

JEFFERSON, NJ— In a video obtained by NJ.com, students in the Jefferson fan section during last weeks basketball game against Dover can be heard chanting "ashy knees" as an African-American Dover player takes free-throw shots.

The Jefferson students also allegedly chanted "build the wall," but those cannot be heard in this video. (You can watch the video below.)

The chants set off a firestorm within the communities and prompted superintendents from both schools to file reports with the NJSIAA.

"I have the greatest respect for Mr. Patrick Tierney, Superintendent of Jefferson, and the professional and compassionate manner in which he and his staff are handling the issue at hand," Dover Superintendent Bob Becker said in an email to Patch Tuesday morning. "I cannot emphasize enough that the concern is based on the behaviors of a handful of fans, and that it is not only inappropriate but wrong to assume the behavior of a few represents any one district. The problems have been identified, and appropriate action is being taken."

In an interview with NJ.com, Jefferson Superintendent Patrick Tierney said that Dover fans also contributed to the incident.

"Tierney alleged two Dover parents approached a Jefferson student who was wearing a Trump shirt before the game and made inflammatory remarks," NJ.com reported. Tierney told the website the "build the wall" comment was in response to those remarks.

NJSIAA, the state's high school athletics governing body, has told both schools to seek a solution themselves, before it gets involved.

"The schools have been instructed to meet and come forward with appropriate action plans to satisfy both the letter and spirit of the NJSIAA sportsmanship policy. If they are unable to fulfill that obligation, the matter will go to the controversies committee of their own conference, the New Jersey Athletic Conference. If necessary, NJSIAA will convene its controversies committee, which will intercede as necessary," said the NJSIAA executive director, Steven Timko.
