Boy - did this bring back memories

[Mark Padgett]

Ran into a ref buddy this morning (no, not with my car) and we started talking. He brought up a HS rec game we worked together about 5 or 6 years ago. He was lead and had a blarge on the baseline. He called A1 for the PC foul. While he was reporting it, A1 and B1 got into a shoving match and then they both traded punches. A2 and B2 both tried to break it up but then they got to shoving each other also. A few players came off the bench as did both head coaches who also got into a shoving match!

By the time it was over, we had ejected six players from team A, five from team B, both HCs and one AC. We had to get a parent to come and sit on their bench to continue the game. Unfortunately, this didn't happen in the kids rec league for which I am on the Board, or there would have been automatic suspensions, etc.

Oh yeah - did I mention it was a girls game!?!?

This probably was the worst event of this kind that I can remember. Any of you guys have anything this bad - or worse?
