Westbrook /Sterling fight?

[expirate20]

If benches cleared, was everyone ejected? That would be the only way they couldn’t finish their game game! What does this do for the next game they both play?

[Who That]

They mite not play at all. If both benches cleard could be done for the season.

I thought this was the rule…

That would be terrible for West Brook. I don't know what happened, but whoever was directly responsible for the fight should be punished. Don't ruin the season for all the other kids.

I agree, but by rule anyone that leaves the bench is ejected. And must sit out a game. They do this to be able to control a fight if it happens. Coaches should keep kids on the bench.

[Tigers94]

If it's just for one game and not the season, that's not so bad. I'd assume WB will either have to play the next game with their JV kids or forfeit. An entire season is way too extreme, imo.

Amazing how some of the basketball regulars on this site are zipping their lips on this one.

I just saw the video.

Going to be lot's to sort out. Many many players left the bench for both teams.

By rule just about everyone will have to miss next game. The two that threw down to start it all, will likely miss more games.

Be interesting to see how this all gets worked out.

UIL needs to be notified , if they haven’t already.  This shouldn’t be swept under the rug.   
 

Agree 100% that those involved in the fight , threw punches, need to be miss multiple games.  Those that leave the bench automatically should miss the next game.  

I do believe there was a baseball game between Hardin and Kountze where this happened and suspensions of some sort were handed out.

I am quite certain the UIL will be notified. Can't dispose of that video. Already out to the public.

Wonder if it’ll make national news like the LCM - Silsbee fight about 10 years ago??? 🥊

In the Kountze Hardin incident I believe the UIL allowed the coaches to hand out punishment for the players that were involved

Not even close to the same thing only two players were involved , nobody else threw punches!!!!

[oldman]

If players left the bench them they should be ejected.   This would make them suspended for one game.   Rule doesn’t state that they have to throw punches.

Do you think both teams will haft to take a loss in this game played last night.?

For everyone involved, I hope not.  Everyone who left the bench that game was ejected, leaving neither team with enough to finish the game.  Result was a double forfeit.  West Brook fans should expect this to count as a loss.  The four kids who initiated the fight were all suspended for the next game.  All of the suspensions were recommended by the UIL, but school's discretion.  One Silsbee player was suspended the rest of the season.  Both programs placed on probation for two years.  At least that's what I heard the UIL ruled...

You can thank that brawl for the UIL instituting the automatic one game suspension after an election, which is honestly a good policy.  These fights like this are pretty scary when they involve multiple players and leak into the stands.  Needs to stop.

It's a possibility.

In the LC-M/Silsbee incident, both teams had to forfeit the game even though Silsbee was leading by 15 at the time.

West Brook was leading by 41 and the fight started at end of 3rd Q. In fact, the quarter ended right when the first punch was thrown.

Like Bear Cave stated, this will likely go down as a loss for both teams.

I seen the video from last night. I agree, not quite as bad but bad enough for suspensions and possible forfeits to happen.

We will see how UIL and both schools handle it.

Both benches cleared in this incident. That will be the real issue.

[Coach 01]

I don’t think they will forfeit the game, but I could be wrong on that. We will see. Everybody that left the bench will get a one game suspension. The two that started the initial melee are probably looking at 3 games minimal. Possibly more. That will be the coaches decision. If the UIL is satisfied with the coaches decisions, it will end there. The UIL with look into it pretty thoroughly, getting statements and meeting with coaches and ADs

[Vini vidi]

Will go to DEC and UIL will likely go with DEC recommendations.

It depends on who you are if UIL will go with them recommendations… IYKYK.

If the Beaumont Basketball Chapter doesn’t send an Incident report to the UIL they should have their chapter status revoked.   If both districts involved don’t report to the UIL they should face penalties.

Seem like this is hush , hush.   Video is out there  and it will eventually get posted.

It will get reported.

Both sides are sending report.
