Two north Alabama schools ‘working to address the situation’ following postgame altercation
Two schools in Marshall County are working to address the situation after a postgame altercation following a rivalry basketball game.
On Tuesday after a varsity boys’ basketball game against Guntersville and Albertville, an altercation broke out between athletes and spectators following Guntersville’s 60-50 win.
A joint statement from Albertville City Schools and Guntersville City Schools, obtained by the Advertiser-Gleam, read that both school systems are working together in a plan moving forward.
“After last night’s Albertville-Guntersville basketball game, an altercation occurred involving players and adults,” the statement read. “Both schools are working together to address the situation and remain committed to sportsmanship, teamwork and mutual respect.”
Guntersville is set to host Grissom on Thursday. Albertville will play in the Class 7A, Area 8 tournament next week.
