I didnt even see the fight but that guy chris's story sounds right. Everyone elese is just going by what they heard or what they THINK they saw/know. Most uf yall dnt know nuttin so yall can HUSH. Also I'd like to add That Lansing comming down on jackson like saying they suck at life is rude and disrespectful. Always remember that you gotta give respect to get it. Plus they wouldn't lyke it if jackson posted stuff lyke that about them. Lastely I'd lyke to say dat both jackson and everett are good teams and are at fault but watev IT DOSEN'T MATTER.

I find it intresting that number 45 from Jackson was called for unsportmanlike conduct during the Northwest Jackson game the week before.

Ok I thought i'd say just because tuff like that happens in jacskon or from Jackson high people DOES NOT mean that Jacskon sucks at life. Get it right, everyone makes mistakes..that's why it's called learning from them... People need to get overthemsleves were all the same and no one is PERFECT get over it!

Thank God my parents move to the Northwest District from Jackson High. I would be ashaned to be from Jackson High. I hope each one of the players are expelled for fighting. If it happened in school they would be.

I was at the game i saw the fight the whole thing i was walking by the fence by the endzone when it started a Jackson player made a fair tackle and an everrett player did not like it so he pushed him the Jackson player grabbed his face mask they exchanged punches both players from everrett and jackson tryed to break it up but then things got out of hand yes some players should be delt with for there fighting but to argue over who started it is dumb both teams are at fault takes two teams to be a fight many of them tryed to protect there teamates and break up the fight there were only a few kids that really fought and should be punished for what they did dont put a scar just on Jackson Everrett was involved also they are just as wrong in all of this, although as a former player For Jackson High i am embarressed. There is no excuse for what happened dicipline is fair and needed.

I just listened to the extreme punishment handed out to these Player's. (EXTREME)I wonder how many Future Criminals you Have Created with your Decision.Obviously the school officials and Board had a lack of preparedness in dealing with a situation such as this,and are putting it off on the boy's who will be Boy's.This was handled to quickly in the decision making process,these school official's have ruined some potential dreams.Do You Have to go to College to get this stupid?You really need to consider a more appropriate punishment! To Harsh! Consider the Role Models these kid's have today in Professional Sports and there you will find some understanding. T. C. Wallace your Regime Suk's, You need to re-think what you have done here.

And of course, the officials always see the first punch thrown...they are human too!

fighting is fighting.... in a classroom expelled..... on a field of play or a court..... representing your school ....expelled...... whats the questions......

From what I have heard from people, including security, it started with a Jackson Player who grabbed and pulled an Everett player down by his facemask after a play was over. If you have seen any video of the fight, most of the Everett players stayed away, while basically the whole Jackson team was involved. The Jackson player was probably mad because they were losing, and getting ready to go down even more. Both sides deserve some blame, but I put much more of it on Jackson.

What a disgrace the players from Jackson High are. I thought people from Jackson were better than that. Maybe sports should be taken away for awhile till players cool off and learn how to play the game for the fun and sports of it.

I love when people use acronyms (BTW) and then type what it means after it. Also, what a great statement; "Jackson sucks at life". Hmmm that must be very factual and not based off emotion at all. Maybe it was more of an "Incident" but reporting the news is about reporting what bystanders have to say and how they feel, even if it might be emotionally charged like some comments on this board.
