Junior College Football Game Gets Called After Brawl
Thursday night’s game between East Mississippi Community College and Mississippi Delta was ended prematurely due to a lengthy fight before halftime. EMCC was busy opening up a can of you-kn0w-what on MDCC – the score was 48-0 with 59 seconds remaining in the first half – when a huge brawl broke out between the two teams.
Law got up swinging, according to the Columbus (Miss.) Dispatch, and both teams rushed the field and engaged in a melee that took five minutes to bring under control.
In the revised state playoff lineup, ICC will visit Mississippi Gulf Coast on October 31, while Northwest Mississippi – now the No. 1 seed in the North Division – will host East Central.
“Do you show everything you were going to try and do to win this one, or do you become more vanilla?” he said. Following a meeting, officials called the game.
EMCC head coach Buddy Stephens said after the game that the bad blood between the two sides started when an EMCC manager was injured before the game by a Delta player.
That, in turn, has unexpectedly put Itawamba CC into the playoffs. “A suspension of a coach or player at the end of a season of play shall carry over to the next season'”. “If they don’t listen, I simply cannot help them”.
