Savannah High School Football Game Canceled Due to Disruption

Savannah, Ga. – The first Friday night of high school football in the Coastal Empire kicked off with plenty of excitement as fans packed the stands at Calvary Day School. However, the atmosphere took a turn for the worse when an altercation broke out, leading officials to cancel the game.

The incident occurred during halftime of a matchup between Calvary Day School and Beach High School. According to a statement from the Savannah Chatham Public School System, multiple fights erupted beneath the home side stands, as well as in the surrounding spectator areas and parking lot.
