Not sure if its true, but I heard there was 5 off duty BC cops at the game sitting while this happened. If that is true, wonder if they could of stopped it?

I have seen two videos. One shows a BC coach hitting a Lumberton coach in the head while being held in a head lock by another BC coach. He hit him twice before another Lumberton coach put him in a head lock and restrained him. I think there is plenty of fault to go around. I have heard(now this part is hear say) of several Lumberton coaches being suspended or put on probation, while a couple that were involved in the brawl received no punishment. If that is true, the "good ole boy" network is alive and well in Lumberton. I have not heard much of any of the BC coaches and their punishment. Why not? As for talking about it, I think it should be talked about. Sweeping it under the rug really does nothing. I have been a coach. Coaches get all the grief and complaints from parents but very seldom are given ANY credit for a job well done. We all volunteer knowing we assume a lot of responsibility with little or no recognition. Of the over 2000 people that have viewed this thread, how many have sent an email to a coach thanking him for a job well done? However, now that something bad has happened, EVERYONE has to chime in and say how bad it is. I agree, it is bad, but instead of taking 5 minutes to post a comment, why don't you ALL take 3-4 months out of your busy schedules and COACH A TEAM, WORK A CONSSESSION STAND, or CLEAN A FIELD. P.S. For those of you that do volunteer, this was not directed at you!

Funny how more people comment and was not there?? There was no one spit on! I was there and no one ever said they were spit on. It sounds good though as a reason to get a fight going, huh! The above poster makes the comment "the same guy that bull rushed one of the people on the BC sidelines"............it was not one of the people, it was, "That Stupid Guy". No one said ALL the BC people were cursing,.......PAY ATTENTION, it was just one!, remember, That Stupid Guy! We can all make excuses about who was right or wrong. It amazes me how easily you can tell what town your are from, by your post! I think the Lumberton coaches were WRONG. I think the BC coaches were WRONG! I think "THAT STUPID GUY" was the catalyst that started it all and he should be held just as accountable.

VERY WELL SAID!

Really???? Your right, it should not of taken till the 4th quarter. Your coaches were closer to "That Stupid Guy" than the Lumberton coaches, so why didn't your coaches do anything? You, yourself, explained in your previous reply that you were trained to do that. I guess that training was money poorly spent or your coaches thought it was okay to curse children. I guess only Bridge City knows that. I also appreciate the acknowledgement of how well I know hash marks. This comment was made because so many people made blind comments about what happened, just like yourself. I made no mention of who was winning, who I wanted to win, etc..... This forum was not about win or loose, but about the fight. After the fight, who cares who was dominating who, or who would get first place. After your comments, I have to ask.......Are you That Stupid Guy????

If I was an attorney, I would not be wasting my time on this forum. I would be somewhere on a boat.

I was at the game when this happened. It really amazes me that people will form an opinion from hear say. Only a few people were at the game that posted here, the rest are just talking to talk. Here is what I witnessed, heard, and what people said directly after it happened. 1. The head coach of the Lumberton team was near the Bridge City sideline because his team was. For those of you who could not figure it out, those small lines on the field are called hash marks. The ball is placed left, right or center on the hash marks depending where the ball is whistled dead. 2. In the third quarter, a Bridge City coach(or parent with field badge) was yelling obscene comments to the Lumberton players(yes, the 7 & 8 year olds)......"Get butt off the field, you cant play with our kids. According to several people (and kids, mine for one), he did this several times. 3. One of the Lumberton Board members went up to ask him to shut up. That coach took a swing and hit the board member on his chin. This is when most of Lumberton's coaches went to the Bridge City sideline. They talked and started to walk away. That same BC coach or parent called one of the Lumberton team moms a . That happened to be the Lumberton head coaches sister. At that point he ran up and the big fight started. By the way, noone spit on anyone. Cops were called and I guess we will read about it in the paper. That was fact, now my 2 cents. I feel all the coaches that fought should be banned from coaching. This is not something we should teach our kids. My kid was playing in that game. I wish it would of never happened. However, I can't say I wouldn't hurt someone if they called my wife a name in front of me. If my child would have been near or around the fight, I would have been there to protect him. If someone would of came at me, I would have protected myself. So, who's fault was it?? Well, Bridge City threw the first swing. The sad part about it, it was one guy. One stupid guy shouting comments that the referees should have heard and reacted by banning him from the field. They did not control the field and a fight was the result. So in order, its That Stupid Guy, Referees, Bridge City, and Lumberton!
