Personally, I would give A25 an opportunity to respond then stick em both as I close on them. If A25 didnt respond, I can see sticking B55... the decision to run him is a HTBT situation.
Having had to officiate a fight or two, I'd rather stick B55 before A25 has a chance to respond. It's a situation where if I don't get involved quickly, A25 may think he needs to do something.

Deal with it quickly and remind them the adults are in charge.

Makes sense Snaqs... I meant respond verbally not a physical response.

B55: You want to f***ing fight?
1, 2, 3 (Assess the situation)
A25: .......................................
(Respond) Whack B55


B55: You wanna f***ing fight?
A25: Lets go b**ch
(Respond) Double T


B55: You wanna f***ing fight?
A25: (says nothing but heads in B55s direction)
(Respond) Whack B55

I saw a similar situation to the OP where the immediate T (React) was inforced for some over the top language to an opponent. Come to find out the players were neighborhood friends that were just messing around.

Responding vs. Reacting

Personally, I wouldn't have any remorse about calling a T here. They can mess around in the driveway, but they need to learn where it's appropriate.

I could even see taking action on the "arms fly" given the nature of the game leading up to that point. Why wait for that to escalate?
