Rush Propst on Wednesday denied throwing his headset at his son in the midst of a scuffle during Moody’s 28-24 win over Pell City on Friday.

“No. 1, I can’t say too much,” Propst told “The Big Noon Sports Show” on The Tide 100.9. “There was never headsets thrown. We have video evidence to prove that.”

An out-of-bounds hit at the end of a punt return sparked a scuffle in which a Moody player was ejected for throwing a punch.

AL.com’s Joe Goodman was covering the game and reported Propst, in an attempt to keep his son – junior wide receiver John David Propst – from getting involved in the fight threw his headset and hit the receiver’s helmet.

“Proven by video evidence, which will come out soon, is that we de-escalated a situation on the sidelines where there was a tackle out of bounds,” he explained Wednesday. “A flag was thrown for an illegal hit out of bounds. There was a punch thrown by a Moody player. He was ejected. We were trying to separate (players). We did a great job. Everybody did a great job of keeping it from elevating to something worse. Nothing else happened except for the one punch.

“Where this all came from, we don’t know.”

Three fouls were called on the play:

• Personal foul on Moody
• Dead ball unsportsmanlike on Pell City
• Dead ball unsportsmanlike on Moody with ejection

“All you have to do is pull it up on the 411 Network, and there is nothing to see,” Propst said.

Video posted by 411 Network on YouTube, seen above, shows Propst, who was wearing a white visor, stepping in but it appears to be unclear as to how he lost his headset. There is a point in the video an assistant is trying to fix the headset.

Shortly after the game, Propst was asked about throwing the headset. Instead of denying it happened, he offered the following explanation:

“He knows better than to do some stupid (stuff),” Propst said. “I got mad at him, but he’s mine and I’ll discipline him come Sunday, but there’s just things you can’t do, you know?

“It’s football and he’s a football player and he knows better. He’s been around long enough to know how to act.”
