One one side: a high school football coach who previously was a coach at Mississippi State and LSU gets into a fight in the stands. On the other, a Noxapater freshman cleans the locker room after his game. But, it’s the kids today that are the problem, right? pic.twitter.com/U4jr0JhimQ

The high school football coach wound up with a bloody head and face after the altercation.
Nowell was escorted out of the game by what appeared to be two police officers.
