A Mississippi high school football coach was bloodied after getting into a fight with a fellow spectator at a recent high school football game.
The coach in question is Jim Nowell, who is the head coach at Heidelberg High School in Heidelberg, Mississippi. The Laurel Leader-Call reported about the incident, which took place at a game between Wayne County High and Quitman High on Thursday night. The Leader-Call says fans claimed Nowell smelled of alcohol and was being belligerent. Nowell apparently mocked Wayne County for struggling against Quitman.
A fan sitting a few rows below Nowell apparently asked the coach to stop using profanity. Nowell, who was scouting ahead of a Sept. 2 game between his school and Quitman, ended up fighting the man.
You can see videos of the fight below:
While we don’t know whether the fight continued past where the videos ended, what we do know is a photo showed Nowell with blood dripping down his forehead.
The coach ended up being escorted out by security.
Nowell coached Heidelberg to a 5-4 record and region title last year. He has previously served as LSU’s strength coach. He didn’t look so strong in that fight.
