MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - A competitive basketball game has turned into a public relations nightmare after a brawl at Alabama State University.
WSFA 12 Sports reporter Derek Steyer was covering the Alabama High School Athletic Association Central Region Basketball Tournament hosted by ASU when a fight broke out on the court between players from Carver High School and Valley High School.
Carver High School was winning the game 52-37 and during the fourth quarter, around 3:45pm, a foul was called. Several players began pushing each other.
Shoving and punching by the teammates escalated when fans came out of the stands and onto the court.
One player wearing Valley's orange shorts, though not identified, could be seen rushing down the court, shirtless, throwing punches at others. Many other players and fans were on the ground being kicked and punched as police officers tried to regain control of the Acadome.
