BREAKING: Fight Leads To Basketball Game Forfeit

The GWHS at Martinsville boys basketball game was called and forfeited after a melee in the gym on Friday night. Details are sketchy right now, but here’s what we have so far.

Here’s what we know: The game was being played in the Martinsville middle school gym and was sold out. The game was a choppy one during the first half with a lot of fouls being called, including an on-court double technical foul. Martinsville led at the half but GW took the lead in the second half. With about four minutes to play in the fourth quarter and GW holding a lead, a GW player made a move for a layup and was fouled hard by a Martinsville player. Those two players began to fight and that’s when members of the crowd started storming the court. Police and coaches tried to get the situation under control.  Players were sent to the locker rooms and the gym was cleared out. We have confirmed that Martinsville police made three arrests.

We’ll update this story if we get more information.
