facts? who ever said i had all facts? the supposed "fight with eagleville" is a rumor i had heard during the ball game, i am sorry for you taking that the wrong way. also, what rockets7 said about cascade is true, forrest/cascade is definately one of the biggest rivalries in the mid-south. and now my understandings of the forrest/mcewen game... where the forrest student section was standing were a few east robertson locals that we didn't feel like bothering so we saw open space on mcewen's side so we moved. at halftime, many forrest students had to walk in front of mcewen's student section to get to the concession stand/bathroom/etc. many forrest students were bumped or shoved purposely (by my judgement). students retaliated by mouthing off because that's what students do. the little skirmish was being taken care of until a 30-40 year old man comes running after a forrest student throwing punches. two men grab the man while I (yes me) grabbed the 18 year old he was after and try to push him out of harm's way. then two forrest teachers ran in front of the mcewen section trying to get the enraged man ejected and they were nearly ejected themselves, which seems just ridiculous. does it not??? the third quater began and no one was ejected... after the game a few forrest students were yes, looking for a fight, in retaliation for the halftime scuffle. now from what i've heard from the students that confronted the bus, yes the bus driver called the african american a dumb (what rockets7 said) and all heck broke loose. the bus driver was ganged up on, etc...
that is my story on the situation from what i saw at halftime and what i have heard from many about the "brawl"
now i'd like to address my comment about "sending a few more teenagers"... that was during a laughing matter with friends of mine while reading about this topic. i do apologise if i offended any of ye warrior faithful. also, this does not reflect forrest high school... you know what? screw it yes it does. we are a group of enthusiastic high school students who don't like taking crap from anyone, but sometimes we like to take it a little too far in retaliation. at halftime mcewen ticked us off, our "fighting few" took it way too far after the game and they all know that, although this IN NO WAY regulates the student's actions after one was called a dumb n@**!$. it is simply THE FACT that some forrest students are willing to face the consequences of getting revenge. they will face those consequences and then say "it was worth it"... so say what you want because these were forrest students defending personal pride! don't mess with forrest! end of discussion! bring on the hate mail!!!
p.s. good luck Mcewen, yall played a great game.
