Bishop Gorman Awarded Forfeit After Sideline Fight Halts Game vs. Lone Peak

The school says it will submit game film for NIAA review.

Overview

  • Officials ended the third quarter with Bishop Gorman leading 35-14 and ruled a forfeit under NIAA rules after more than three Lone Peak players left the bench.
  • The sequence followed a long Gaels completion, an out-of-bounds tackle, an apparent late hit, and ensuing pushing and shoving on the Knights’ sideline.
  • Bishop Gorman coach Brent Browner said no Gaels left their sideline and reiterated that the NIAA mandates a forfeit once more than three players do so during an incident.
  • Lone Peak coach Bart Brockbank did not comment in the immediate aftermath of the decision.
  • Bishop Gorman plans to provide film to the NIAA for review, with the outcome and any potential discipline described as developing in ongoing coverage.
