MONTGOMERY -- The AHSAA Class 5A Boys State Basketball Playoffs Round 2 game ended today with minutes remaining in the fourth period when a fight erupted, spilled into the stands and forced a forefeit.
With 6:23 remaining in the fourth period fighting on the floor among players quickly spread to the stands.

Carver-Montgomery was leading Valley 52-37 when play was stopped.

Police subdued spectators and decided to clear the Joe Reed Acadome at Alabama State University.

"This game has been forfeited because Valley doesn't have any players left to particiapte," said AHSAA Associative Exectuive Director Joe Evans.

Evans refused to answer more questions about forfiets or suspensions to Carver players.

I called a Carver-JD game years ago that ended with about 15 people left in the gym. Three refs, a clock keeper, two coaches, five JD players and four Carver players.

A fight broke out in the stands and spilled onto the court. It took about 20 cops more than an hour to clear the gym. We left under police escort that night.

Not cool.

Sheesh!!

State playoff time, eh? My bleeping state still has two more weeks left in the regular season. *sigh*

We don't let anything interfere with our second-most important sport, spring football.

And in another regional in the state... players from one team start throwing punches ... players come out on the court, fans come out of the stands and -- zing -- we have a forfeit because the first team ran out of players

You mean this fight?

 

[dixiehack]

Not my fault you couldn't post on the right board. ;D

I'm in Hanceghanistan... reality is but a concept as I watch my eighth game of the day

Yo Slap, I hear the Sports Editor from Florence may be in Hancevegas and is usually looking to drop some money on the poker table when he's in town.

Just FYI.

0-for-2 on spelling forfeit correctly.

Sadly, the reaction from ASU University relations in that WSFA story is about what I would expect from that bunch:

Kenneth Mullinax, Director of University Relations for Alabama State University, said "...no one was hurt. We had some over enthusiastic high school fans who got involved in an altercation..."

The stuff on the floor was a warmup. Wait until the end when they show the fight in the stands.

And slappy, if you get enough time for lunch in Cullman (doubtful I know), you can thank me later.

Rumors is pretty good. But the orange rolls at The All-Steak are the best foodstuffs in Cullman County.

The sports anchor for the ABC affiliate here just gave Mr. Mullinax a new way to go to the bathroom.

Also, it appears that early reports that one team (Valley) had to forfeit due to ejections stemming from the fight were erroneous. They're evidently going to finish the game at some point.

I'm rooting for midnight on the asphalt court at the Montgomery County Youth Detention Center.

That clip was, well, something. From the woman who obviously was pulled off the street and handed a microphone, to the scared sportscaster, to the Alabama St. SID proclaiming that everyone should come on down to Alabama State and see just some great ball - it had everything.
