On Friday night, a fight erupted on the field in a game between two high school football teams in Montgomery County, Maryland. Players from both Northwest (Md.) and Gaithersburg (Md.) were involved in the altercation.
According to Chioma-Emilia Ahaghotu at WUSA9, one unidentified person on the scene was arrested for possession of a knife. The two schools have agreed to temporarily suspend their football seasons to assist the investigation.
“MCPS said in a press release the district ‘strongly condemns the abhorrent and unacceptable behavior that occurred at the football game last night.’ … MCPS and both schools – Northwest and Gaithersburg – agreed that football operations at the two schools would be suspended temporarily to assist in the ongoing investigation.”
