PITTSBURGH \u2014 Two games were played at Cupples Stadium on Pittsburgh\u2019s South Side less than 24 hours after three teens were shot after another high school football game<\/a> at the same location. <\/p>\n

The shooting sparked attendance changes<\/a> and increased security. <\/p>\n

The first of the Friday games featured Allderdice and Brashear. Only parents and adults with ties to the schools were allowed to attend.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything was fine. You know, it\u2019s sad,\u201d Nicole Jones said. She\u2019s the parent of a Brashear football player. \u201cKeep it like this. I\u2019m good like this. I prefer safety first.\u201d<\/p>\n

Game two saw Perry take on Carrick. It was Perry\u2019s senior night, so the district allowed younger Perry family members to attend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe restrictions are suitable. We have to know the districts are going to protect our children,\u201d Shekwae Nicholson said. Her daughter is a senior cheerleader for Perry. Her son is on the football team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She told Channel 11 she witnessed the fallout from Thursday\u2019s triple shooting and had some concerns about playing Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI was at work at Presby. I was there when trauma came in. I was just hoping all the kids were okay. I thought maybe they might cancel the game,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
