((HT: WCSC-TV/Charleston, SC))
The Summerville and Stratford high school football teams are breathing a little easier now that the SCHSL handed down punishments for the post-game fighting that happened Sept. 25.
There was a question whether the two teams would be banned from postseason play, much like Wilson and Lake City were after a brawl after the two teams met in 2008.
Citing a less severe fight, the SCHSL levied a much less severe penalty against the two teams that included one to three game suspensions, fines, and being placed on "warned" status by the organization.
Live 5 News has learned from the Berkeley County School District that six Stratford players have been suspended for one game and three players have been suspended for two games. The school has said they will appeal the decision.
Summerville did not return phone calls regarding how many of its players are suspended, and for how long.
The SCHSL told the school district the suspensions would start Friday night, Oct. 2.
