OSG High: 67 Ejections In One Game...

((HT: al.com/AHSAA))

It came from a game in Birmingham between Huffman and Jackson-Olin that resulted in $22,100 in fines (that could be reduced to $7,700 if all players that were ejected participate in a sportsmanship course) after 2 Huffman players were ejected and had 43 follow them onto the field of play from the sidelines- a NHSAA violation.

At $300 per kid that came off the sideline...

Jackson-Olin also had two players ejected for fighting and 20 of their players jumped off the sidelines. The school was also fined $300 per kid that left the sidelines...

Both teams were given forfeit losses instead of one school winning and one losing per the score on the scoreboard... since there were not enough eligible players left after the ejections...

Got all that...???

Here was the early comment from the AHSAA, the governing body of high school athletics in the state:

"The Huffman High School vs. Jackson-Olin High School football game played Friday night in Birmingham was terminated in the third quarter following a bench-clearing altercation," the release read. "This flagrant unsportsmanlike incident included players on the field from both teams and all substitutes from both team benches.

"The contest officials determined that the game should be terminated and a double forfeiture awarded to both teams since neither team had enough eligible players remaining to complete the contest. The AHSAA has scheduled a meeting with both schools Monday morning to evaluate and review the game film and determine the appropriate sanctions to be imposed on the schools."

And here's the only piece of video we could find so far...
There's a touchdown at the end of it...
