Post-match handshake turns into INSANE mass brawl at high school basketball game (VIDEO)
A high school basketball game in Phoenix, Arizona descended into chaos after players of both teams became embroiled in a huge fight right after a postgame handshake.
Saturday’s game between Mesa Skyline High School and Cesar Chavez High School took an unexpected turn when players were lining up for the traditional post-match handshake.
After Skyline beat Cesar Chavez, 63-57, the majority of match participants greeted each other in a friendly manner, until a student from Chavez unexpectedly punched a Skyline opponent sparking an insane fight at Phoenix Central High School’s gymnasium.
The physical altercation between the two players quickly escalated into a massive brawl involving players of both teams, staff members and spectators, some of whom tried to pull the fighters apart.
“Just unfortunate a good game like that between two of the top 10 teams goes down like that,” he added.
As a result of the brawl, Cesar Chavez High School will forfeit a game scheduled for Friday with all players involved in the brawl being handed a three-game suspension.
