Who cares

Being that NW has caused fights at other schools, apparently not MCPS. SV and NW are notorious for fights at weapons at games. I’m pretty sure that’s how the game ended last season

Don't throw it all on NW. There's a video on Twitter showing Gaithersburg staff member in a blue shirt putting their hands on NWs coach.

Sure just a coincidence

I was there. That’s when the coaches got involved. Def started by NW

What started it exactly?

I don't let my kids get a pass with the "they started it" line. I would hope administrators and coaches aren't using that as an excuse either.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that NW and SV are both Germantown schools.

No, they were ahead but it was the third quarter. Both teams were disqualified before there was a winner

I would rather they simply end the season for those involved. They have video evidence. Anyone who participated should be gone for the rest of the season.

Which would effectively end it for everyone else too.

Do you have video? I haven't heard of this.

It's not a fight here or there I worry about. But I do worry when it's a mob of 50+ people. That's a hard thing to calm down.

+1. Sadly. Left two years ago. Don’t regret it.

If mcps wants to get serious about having a culture of respect in athletics they should give refs incentives for making sure the trash talk stops the first time. I guarantee that fight didn't just break out for no reason. The players were probably antagonizing each other verbally with physical fouls all game. They should make sure anyone caught in unsportsmanlike behavior is benched the next game and the whole season if it's serious enough. Watch if anyone in that fight is out more than 1 game. I doubt it.
I've also been at football games where the parents are trash talking players. Those parents should be ejected and banned no questions asked. Student sections are out of control throwing things and screaming obscenities. It's a perfect atmosphere for brawls which is why the police are there.

I agree. I haven't seen it (my kid goes to Magruder), but if it's happening, the adults need to shut this all down.

My middle class kids did fine during lowdown. These are poor fatherless POC kids who have no control over their behavior. Poor babies!

Gaithersburg was seen as a rough school when I was a MCPS high schooler 30 years ago. The more things change...

Lowdown = lockdown

Such a generalization. It's only 69% of black children and 52% of latino children born to unmarried women:

That's a whole lot of children who _are_ growing up with a father in the picture.
