Moore Sports Radio was broadcasting play-by-play of the Pinecrest vs. Union Pines football game on Friday night when a brawl between the two teams broke out.
You can hear the play-by-play announcer say the Union Pines bench clears, then seconds later state that the Pinecrest bench is on the Union Pines side of the field.
According to the announcer, coaches, athletic directors, administrators, school resource officers and members of the Moore County Sheriff's Office were on the field trying to get control of the situation.
The N.C. High School Athletic Association is expected to make an announcement this week regarding the punishment for the two teams. Three players from both teams were ejected for fighting Sunday after the officials met to compare notes.
NCHSAA rules state that if a team has three players ejected for fighting, that team is ineligible to compete in the state playoffs that season.
