Fight breaks out at end of West Virginia high school boys basketball game

On Tuesday night, a West Virginia high school boys basketball game was called with just 15 seconds remaining as a fight broke out between the two teams.

With Mount View leading Man 47-43, a foul was called that led to a Mount View player shoving a Man player. The two were somewhat separated, but looked to still be speaking to each other as players and referees attempted to diffuse the situation.

All hell broke loose once the Mount View player was being led back to the bench by his coach. The Man player quickly made a beeline from half court and jumped into the Mount View bench, leading to a sea of bodies and punches.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen a player do a flying ninja kick into the opposing team’s bench but that appears to be what happened at the Mt. View Vs. Man game last night in Welch. Game was called with 15 seconds left with MVHS winning 47-42. #wvprepbb pic.twitter.com/M0BufXyEj7
