HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) A school principal says members of his high school's football team were subjected to racist taunts from among a group of adults in an eastern Connecticut town where his team had just played an away game and lost.

New London High School principal Tommy Thompson says a fight broke out after fans in Plainfield used the N-word in taunts against the players, called them ``monkeys'' and told them to ``get back in their cages'' when the players were heading to their buses Friday.

Two former Plainfield high school students were charged with breach of peace in connection with the fight.

Plainfield Police Chief Michael Surprenant says no one interviewed by police Friday mentioned the slurs, but he says the investigation is continuing and more arrests are possible.
