FYI for all. This is Potomac High School in Dumfries and not the Potomac School in McLean. Only clarifying because it was posted in the Private/Independent School forum and people might assume the McLean, VA school.

Subject: Hylton - Potomac fight
A postgame brawl following No. 5 Hylton’s 19-7 victory over Potomac (Va.) on Friday was sparked when a person believed to be the parent of a Potomac player punched Hylton linebacker ... in the jaw, according to ... the player’s father. "A grown man clocked my 16-year-old son in the jaw. My son hit him back in self-defense.” [The Hylton linbacker] who is 6 feet 4 and 230 pounds, is considered one of the Washington area’s top high school football prospects.

Setting aside the ugliness of a grownup hitting a 16-year-old, it also sounds pretty stupid when the 16-year-old is that big!
