URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) – Urbana’s football game on Friday was unable to be played in full.
The Tigers were hosting Peoria-Richwoods on Friday, Oct. 10. The game was tied at 14-14 just before halftime when a fight broke out on a kickoff.
The fight involved multiple players from both teams, including some who entered the field of play from the sideline to engage.
After several flags were thrown, the officials made an announcement.
One referee announced that multiple players from Richwoods were ejected. As for Urbana:
“By rule when players come off the bench to fight they are automatically ejected,” the official said over the speakers. “Too many Urbana players came off the bench to fight and are ejected. There are not enough players on Urbana to play the game. The game is suspended and reported to the IHSA.”
A game official told WCIA that a decision is not made on-site regarding the outcome of the game. The officiating crew will send a detailed report to IHSA. IHSA will then declare an outcome for the game.
Urbana entered Friday night’s contest with an 0-6 record on the year. Richwoods was 1-5.
