A fight that broke out during a recent high school basketball game is under investigation by the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA).

A report issued by the TSSAA states a fight broke out in the stands between adult male spectators during the 4th quarter of the Oakdale versus Greenback basketball game.

The altercation started after a personal foul for illegal contact was called on an Oakdale player and a technical foul was called on a Greenback player for illegal contact.

The fighting quickly escalated, with spectators and players from both teams getting involved.

The report indicates both coaches and school officials appeared to be trying to control their respective players as best they could. However, as the fighting continued it appeared that every player from both teams eventually left their bench area and moved onto the court towards the opposite stands area.

The decision was made to end the game because the situation was unsafe and out of control.

The final score for the game was Oakdale 70 Greenback 59.

At this time, no penalties have been issued against the schools.
