Brutal hits during high school football game lead to family attacking players
Published:
More negative news is coming out of high school football games than positive this season.
The latest strange story involves a player’s family allegedly attacking players from the opposing team inside the locker room after a game following what many deemed unsportsmanlike play between California-based high schools Lakewood and Long Beach Millikan.
One of the plays that angered fans was a Millikan player kicking an opposing player’s helmet.
Here’s a couple videos from a game that officials clearly let get out of hand:
Millikan has released an official statement on Facebook and says it will pursue legal action against the accused parties:
After the Millikan vs Lakewood football game, our players were headed to Lakewood locker room to collect their belongings. Security unlocked it for them and along with a coach and trainer, they headed in. A Lakewood player’s family pushed the security guard aside and then attacked 4 of our players. Two were struck in the face and two were grabbed by the neck. Physically bruised but I am sure emotionally not okay. This all happened in less than 30 seconds and the family was out before the coach and trainer could do something. Security did nothing to stop the family from leaving. Fortunately, they know who they are and arrests are the next step. Both Millikan and Lakewood administration are involved along with police reports being filed. This will not be hidden and will not go away, rest assured.
