(GRIFFITH) - The Indiana High School Athletic Association and police are investigating a weekend brawl between Griffith and Hammond’s boys basketball teams.
Griffith's Anthony Murphy was going in for a dunk during Saturday night's game when Hammond's Tim Echoles fouled him, sending Murphy head-first into a wall.
A brawl then erupted in Griffith High School's gymnasium, prompting the IHSAA to call the game in the first quarter as Griffith was leading 4-0.
Griffith police are reviewing a video of the brawl to see if they can identify any adults coming onto the floor.
The Munster Times reports, a junior varsity game preceding the Griffith-Hammond game was marked by trash-talking, pushing and shoving.
IHSAA Commissioner Bobby Cox calls the brawl "disappointing." He plans to speak about it with the schools' administrators.
