A fight broke out in the handshake line following an Alabama high school football game between Blount and Murphy.
Donnell Stanley, who coaches linebackers at Williamson High School, shared a video of the postgame incident in the Blount-Murphy game on Twitter. Stanley’s post caught the attention of WKRG sports anchor Simone Eli.

The game was shown on MCPSSTV as the Game of the Week.
The 3-hour mark of the broadcast video on YouTube shows the handshake line and everything appears to be going fine without incident. By the 3:01:12 mark, the broadcast cuts back to the field and something has the attention of one of the broadcasters.
Blount and Murphy are both Mobile County Public Schools. It was their final game of the 2022 season, with Blount winning 28-22 on Senior Night.
