VIDEO: Cops Investigating HS Basketball Player Who Knocked Down Opponents With Two Punches During Game

You know how things get heated during a high school basketball game sometimes, right? Well, buckle up because we’ve got a wild story for you. There’s been this video circulating on the Socials of a high school basketball player knocking down his opponents with not one, but two vicious punches during a game. Yes, you read that right. And now the cops have gotten involved, trying to figure out what happened.

Now, we’re not condoning violence in sports, but let’s face it, sometimes emotions run high and things can get out of control. But seriously, throwing two vicious punches during a game? That’s some next-level stuff. And of course, the video went viral faster than you can say “technical foul.”

The contest went down at around 6 PM on Jan. 3 in Georgia … when Sonoraville High School was taking on Rockmart in Calhoun.

With a little less than half the tilt remaining, a Rockmart player could be seen on video shoving a Sonoraville athlete to the ground. Seconds later, after the boy had gotten up from the push, the Rockmart player leveled him back to the hardwood with a huge right hand.

As another Sonoraville player raced in to defend his teammate, the Rockmart player then bulldozed him with a big right too.

Thankfully, bystanders intervened before things turned even more physical.

According to a Gordon County Sheriff’s Office incident report we obtained, the 16-year-old’s violent outburst started because his opponent “kept calling him the N-word and he lost his temper.”

The report does not state whether or not the boy admitted to using racist language. We’ve reached out to Sonoraville High for comment, but haven’t heard back yet.

The puncher is now facing two charges of simple battery, the police documents state.

Now, we’re not here to pass judgment or anything, but we’re hoping that this incident will serve as a lesson for everyone involved. Sports are a great way to blow off steam and have fun, but let’s keep it clean, people. Let’s save the punches for boxing rings, not basketball courts.
