COALFIELD, Tenn. (TFP) -- Coalfield High School has suspended eight football players and head coach Keith Henry for Friday's Class 1A quarterfinal home game against South Pittsburg.
It is a self-imposed punishment following last week's on-field brawl that broke out in the first half of Coalfield's game against Lookout Valley.
With the game tied at 7 early in the second quarter, Lookout Valley quarterback Vann Scribner was met by several Coalfield defenders on a keeper and was pushed back. Tempers flared, several players threw punches and the fight escalated as Coalfield players rushed onto the field from the sideline.
