As usual...it's the parents who are ruining youth sports. This one includes everything from trying to "call the law" but there's no cell phone service to someone running into a brawl with a baby.

 

NOTE: No kids were involved in the fight. It was all adults and Belfry's head coach, attacked a referee.

 

The game was Phelps vs. Belfry:

What a shame!

Good grief.

My general impression for a while has been that EKY folks take their middle school sports way too seriously.

That might be an understatement.

Attacking a referee? Wow.

Ill have to wait until I watch on my PC as the video is small. Any explanation of what happened?

 

I'll wait to hear what happened before I go further, but whoever attacked the ref should never be allowed to attend any school event in KY again, elementary, Jr High or HS. Hope they end up behind bars for a bit too.

Not sure what started the whole thing but the worst part is that a fan tackled a ref and attacked him. Then some idiot ran out on the court carrying an infant baby.

Here is a better video and a better description from EKB News.

The Pike County Board of Education is conducting an investigation following a brawl at a middle school boys basketball game Thursday night. Pike County Schools Superintendent Reed Adkins said the fight occurred during a game at Phelps between Phelps and Belfry middle schools, and began after coaches from Belfry pulled their team from the game amid frustrations with officiating in the game. Video of the fight provided to EKB News allegedly shows coaches, referees and fans involved in the brawl, but Adkins said none of the players from either team became involved in the fight. Adkins said coaches — none of whom he named specifically — were heavily involved in the fight. Adkins said that despite the unfortunate nature of the incident, school staff and administrators present at the game handled the situation well. He said that following the fight, the game was suspended as a safety precaution, and may not be made up. Adkins said the investigation into the fight is still an internal investigation, but the Kentucky High School Athletic Association, which has jurisdiction over middle school sporting events, has been notified of the situation. Adkins added that he expects the investigation to be concluded very soon.

That was not just a fan. The guy you see in red running onto the court and tackling the referee was Belfry Middle School head coach, Bobby Varney.

Hopefully pike co does the right thing and Bobby's no longer working with children in pike co at any capacity.

The BOE hasn't announced anything yet, they are still investigating the situation. The rumor is he was already fired from the coaching position but that is only rumor.

Morons.

I bet he'll be a fan from now on.

Honestly, every person that ran onto the floor, should be thrown in jail and charged. No need for fans to be on the court period.
