Jackson Jambalaya

I wish Germantown would have fought this hard during the actual game.

Much better than side handed guns popping off. This reminds me of growing up in South Jackson when we met North Jackson, Madison etc. Hopefully only bruised egos and live to fight another day. This modern ghetto culture vs the 90's is night and day different, and that's not a compliment. Pure unbridled ignorance.

You won't catch me dead in Madison after dark! NOT SAFE!!!!

Looked like a lot of Madison Central players jumping that one Germantown kid. I hope they all get suspended from this week's game

@10:03 AM Yep, stay in Jackistan where it is very safe.

God if this is what passes as news these days, had social media been around in the 90s McDowell Road would have been a world famous destination for reporters.

Bryan Bailey should resign because of this lol seemed fitting

Crime is so bad in Madison now. I used to live there, but then someone stole my horsetrailer one night and I decided to move to Jackson to escape the crime!

Don’t know if that was a cop or security guard but…I’d be damn if I’d step into that. Time to grab the litter size OC spray and skeech them all down. “Dispatch, I’m 10-8. HBO.”

Law enforcement source said the parents of the two main belligerents already spoke to each other and are making their two boys do volunteer service.

Seems like some parents were Raising Cain. They don't seem Abel to behave.

The post should read "former" football players. Any player involved should be removed from the team immediately. But nothing will be done.

time to move to Attala County..

I nominate this best comment.

"I wanna report a beatdown at the grease pit! "

Looks like everyone involved needs to do community service and make a public apology. Parents needs to get a belt and beat their kids ass.

They know better than do that shit at the Flowood Cane’s.

It seems being able to afford a nice house doesn't change anything.

Could just as easily be Forest Hill vs Wingfield. And yall moved up there for the "good schools."

Agree with 10:12. This happened multiple times every night on McDowell Road. And then we had a beer and laughed it off. And we had sense enough to do it outside.

You can't stop what's coming. Not even Mayor Mary.

11:17 AM - I second that nomination.

They fight like girls. all man cards need to be confiscated

I know this may make me an ole ole fart but back when there was a Shoney's at Westland Plaza and Ellis Ave. was the Friday night drag strip this after game stuff was expected if Murrah or Central ballers strayed into our territory. Adults will need to recognize that this kind of stuff can happen among local rivals when there is little or no security present. On the football field the coaches often have to separate the teams when they are warming up...before the game. What makes after game so different? Hopefully they will know better next time.

They are wearing nice hoods!!!

Imagine being in there with your family trying to eat on a friday evening.....Mgt should tell them no one is welcomed after the games now...GO AWAY....

2:13 is exactly right. It happens everywhere there are settled communities. Riff raff moves, gets some numbers and then it happens (see NE Jxn).

All I can say was back in my day if we had just been beaten 49-0 we’d have all headed to the house and kept to ourselves for the weekend.

No shots were fired and the non-believers foolishly say there is no such thing as miracles.

"Law enforcement source said the parents of the two main belligerents already spoke to each other and are making their two boys do volunteer service." Key words: parents, spoke

Kids do dumb things. That's why two parent households with a father and mother are key.

Disclaimer: No participants were injured in the filming of this video, because they all fight like little bitches.

People are moving to Attala, Holmes, and Yazoo. Horses, side by sides, no traffic congestion, no Mayor Mary and still within distance of the metro.

Kids these days are really stoopid. After getting beat like a drum on the field, you never stuff a sock in your britches and head to the hangout where winners congregate. It's simply not done and it smacks of poor taste.

Hey, you ex-Jacksonians, keep your kids under control before someone regulates them. For those of you saying this was normal in South Jackson back in the 80s and 90s. Well, I got bad news for you Madison isn't going to be another South Jackson in anyway or form.

Did I hear “grab my pistol” at the end? Fisticuffs will happen. You know you’re getting old when your first reaction is very negative but then step back and realize you did worse at that age haha.

Didn't Germantown High kick Branson Robinson out of school for his fight. Branson was the # 1 recruit in Mississippi.

He graduated from St. Joe.

Now plays for #1 Georgia Bulldogs.

Oh yeah, I remember well those late Fridays after JPS games. Callaway, Murrah, Wingfield, Provine -- skirmishes that took place but most of the time never moved past a few light punches thrown.

Please keep that trash in Madison County.

I'm glad there were no cell phones back when a fight broke out at The Village between Brandon/Pearl/NWR, etc. There were some doozy's back then and these young bucks wouldn't stand a chance.

I went to one of the top 4 public high schools in another state. The rivalries were fierce.

However, not ONE fight ever broke out anywhere after any high school game. Our parents taught us better and IF they'd been that stupid in years past, they had learned something from it and would NEVER condone or excuse it nor would coaches.

Who are you people? Don't you know the kids are likely reading this and the comments?

I don't disagree with you 11:29, but aint' no kids reading this.

They are too dumb and preoccupied with Tik Toc these day to be bothered with blogs.

This is far to close to academia and useful knowledge to be on their radar.

I often wonder how these "kids" will function in the real world once high school is over. Will they get jobs where they have to show up on time and be productive? Will workplaces allow people to Tik Tok all day while on the job? I came from a lower-middle class family and worked though college and had to get student loans. I have held the same position for almost twenty years and am now financially stable. I remember thinking about my future while I was in high school- something that I would bet most of these young people have not.

As a former MC football player and Madison resident, I will say these things happened all the time when I was growing up. We used to meet up at Strawberry Patch Park and head out to whoop some Clinton ass. Nothing has changed except for camera phones and kids dumb enough to do it indoors at an eating establishment.


That said, a lot of the kids on Madison Central's team reside in Flora not Madison. Gluckstadt has its fair share of Jackson and Canton immigrant neighborhoods too.

Definitely see several Flora and Canton in this fight. If you speak to teachers about this, they can tell you. The coaches won’t suspend anyone. These are their best players.

What's amazing to me is how this fiasco never made it to any of the local news outlets. I guarantee you if this has taken place in Jackson it would have been all over the news. Typical news suppression for certain cities.

They are waiting on a press release. MPD is going to issue one but is still investigating.

Typical. Why can't they act right? If this would have happened between JA and Jackson Prep at Parham Bridges, it would have been all over the news. Trashy people in a trashy "Brick City".

It’s really not a school issue because it happened off campus. However, there would be no consequences if it was on campus. Madison County School District panders to this sort of behavior out of fear. Kids with no consequences (at home or school) will push the boundaries as far possible. And when they realize there are no boundaries, you get this chaos!
