[fridaynightfights]

I’m not saying anyone is lying by any means, but I was as the game and didn’t see any actual punches thrown.  The games have got out of hand though.

From what I could tell the Bell county fans were obnoxious and constantly crossing the line. It’s sad to see and unacceptable.

From being at the game as a neutral spectator, i noticed a couple things from both sides. One particular fan in blue came out of the stands yelling at a referee for something a player had done. A harlan player enacted in the situation. Violence began then when both other fans and other players had to hold the two back from eachother, which is ridiculous. When i said punches were thrown i meant after this scenario. Soon after the two original instigators went after eachother, the entire harlan bench and some harlan students left the stands and went across the floor and was held back by the few “good hearted harlan” players that actually tried to subside the situation. When a person is grabbed and wrapped around the waist and is scratching to get free to go after a person, i consider that the intent to fight. And from what i seen during and on the video after the game, the harlan coaches need to get THEIR priorities straight because when players are holding coaches back from a stupid fan, you need to take a look in the mirror. Then there was a controversy during the handshake line between a harlan fan and bell county player that I personally do not know much of. Ridiculous all the way around and the only people that I believe handled this the right way was the Bell County Coaches and players along with a couple players on harlan. Every other adult in the building needs to check themselves.

There wasn't a handshake because both games because Harlan kids have not been allowed to shake hands with them. A couple of them started to after the end of this game and they were ordered to turn around go straight to the dressing room. Which wouldn't bother me so much in this one but for the fact they refused to shake after the first game which wasn't nearly as "controversial". They just need to get priorities straight and work on how they deal with people.
