South football game against Briggs called due to fights; outcome uncertain

The South football team had its game against Briggs called in the third quarter on October 2 due to fights. At the time, South was leading 12-7, but it remains unclear whether the game will be credited as a win or if penalties will alter the outcome. Ohio High School Athletic Association rules state that the score at time of stoppage may become final. Briggs coach Harold Bates noted that the decision is pending on the OHSAA's official ruling, with potential ramifications for ejected players. South's turnaround from a winless season last year has been a highlight in the City League, as they remain among the league's undefeated teams.
