Football suspended after massive high school brawl!

It was a scene of absolute chaos during a weekend matchup between two Maryland high schools, and now football has officially been suspended for both programs as a result. 

During a Friday night game between the Gaithersburg Trojans and Northwest Jaguars, a brawl broke out on the field between players during the 3rd quarter. The decision was made to call the game right then and there. 

Meanwhile, more altercations between students were underway outside of the venue. As a result, football is now suspended for the time being at both schools. 

"Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) strongly condemns the abhorrent and unacceptable behavior that occurred at the football game last night – on Friday, September 16, 2022 – between Northwest and Gaithersburg at Gaithersburg High School.  The district is swiftly moving to develop and implement enhanced measures for safety at any athletic event and will communicate those to our community in the coming days.

"As agreed upon by MCPS and both schools, all football operations at those two schools will be suspended temporarily, to assist in the ongoing investigation. The district will pursue disciplinary actions against any individuals who are found to have participated in this large altercation, while working to bring communities together around the importance of upholding safe and respectful environments."
