The Maryland softball conference has recently been suspended.
A Carver Vo-Tech player was driving for a layup early in the third quarter of an MPSSAA Class 2A boys basketball state quarterfinal playoff game on Friday when he was shoved to the ground from behind by a Queen Anne’s player, according to video from the game’s live stream on the NFHSA Network. The team was winning easily.
At the time of the incident, Carver was leading host Queen Anne’s 47–15. Several Carver players then got off their bench and started shoving and pushing Queen Anne’s players. Before a full-fledged fight broke out, parents and coaches also entered the court to divide the players.
