The altercation started when a member of the Gators’ coaching staff began to argue with referee Jayme Ream over a call, which he thought was unfair. When coaches from both teams ran over to break up the fight, a player from the Gator team charged Ream. Both teams then rushed the field and melee ensued.
No one was seriously hurt in the fight, but the Sheriff’s office is reviewing the tape to identify people involved.
