AllMetSports.com
Fight ends game H.D.Woodson’s 12-6 victory
over Wilson last Friday was stopped with just over five minutes to play in the fourth quarter after a fight broke out between the teams and included spectators rushing down from the bleachers onto the field. After aWoodson punt went
out of bounds on the Wilson sideline, aWoodson player became involved in a dispute with several Wilson players, according to ToniMorgan, who was refereeing the game, which was played at Theodore Roosevelt because Wilson is being renovated this school year. Morgan, who submitted a
report after the game to the Eastern Board of Officials and DCPS Athletic DirectorMarcus Ellis, said coaches from both teams tried to intervene, but “coaches would get one skirmish separated, and then another would break out.” Morgan added: “It was kind
of a scary situation because there were kids coming out of the stands. There was just so many people. It was out of control.” Ellis, who left the game at
halftime to go to the Anacostia- Coolidge game, received a phone call after the melee broke out, and ordered the game stopped. He saidMonday it is doubtful the game will be continued since it was a nonleague game (and

DVDs of the incident from both teams by Tuesday and will make disciplinary moves later this week. According toD.C. Police, no incident report was filed. “We’re going to get any video
footage we can get,” Ellis said, “and identify any people we can, whether it’s players, coaches or fans. I can tell you, there’s going to be some suspensions.” —Alan Goldenbach
Atholton’s zero pride Moments after his team’s 10-0
defeat of then-No. 7 RiverHill on Friday, Atholton Coach Kyle Schmitt attempted to make a postgame speech. But Raiders fans, some of whom had rushed the field, drowned him out. “He was trying to say stuff,”
said junior quarterback Brian McMahon, whose four-yard touchdown run in the first quarter gave Atholton the lead for good. “Nobody really heard him though.” It was an emotional night for
the Raiders (3-2). They snapped theHawks’ 46-game regular season winning streak by playing bruising defense. Curtis Pumphrey and Austin Tennessee each intercepted a pass and forced a fumble and RiverHill (4-1) was shut out for the first
time since a 55-0 loss to Patuxent on Sept. 8, 2001. “I really felt like we beat
them up a little bit,” Schmitt said. The closest RiverHill came to
scoring was via its defense. Late in the third quarter, with Atholton leading by 10 and facing a third-and-eight on the RiverHill 10-yard line, McMahon tried to lob a screen pass to Adam D’Amico. The ball, however, was tipped
at the line and intercepted by linebackerMax Williams, who had a convoy of blockers around him. The streaking Williams made it all the way to the Raiders 30 beforeMcMahon tackled him. “I was just kind of shocked
we were able to pull off the upset,” saidMcMahon. “It’s the biggest win I’ve ever been a part of.…The [RiverHill players] all looked really surprised, like they didn’t know what to do.” —Alan Siegel
Roosevelt QB hurt Eleanor Roosevelt
quarterback Shawn Petty threw touchdown passes to three receivers and rushed for a fourth score in a 47-7 victory over DuVal. But the standout junior left
the game in the third quarter after breaking his right collarbone while being tackled and it is expected he will be sidelined for at least a fewweeks. Senior Jairus Cook, who
started two games last year and sawaction at quarterback in a handful of others, will step in for the Raiders (4-1).
