North Chicago brawl hands "W" to Vernon Hills

North Chicago and Simeon players and fans duked it out for close to 15 minutes last weekend with under six minutes remaining in the first quarter. The fight may have been a result of the score; Simeon 21, North Chicago 0.

Perhaps those involved from North Chicago were upset or embarrassed by the score. Or they might have been feeling poorly about the way their season has been going. Maybe the were ashamed by being outscored 63-6 so far this season. And remember, that total, 63, could have and would have been much higher if this game continued.

The IHSA has determined that all levels of North Chicago football must forfeit this weekends games. They are, however, allowed to keep practicing. While the team practices, eight members of the team will not. Six players have been suspended for one game, two players for two.
