Earlier this week, disturbing footage showed a terrible end to a high school basketball game in Iowa.
The Nevada High School boy’s basketball team battled Carlisle in Iowa on Tuesday as they walked away with a 72-47 victory. The action wasn’t over after the game had ended.
A 17-year-old player for Carlisle allegedly sucker-punched a Nevada player in the stomach and mouth during the postgame handshake line.
That player got punched was knocked unconscious and received four stitches on his mouth. The youngster that punched him was arrested and now faces a felony charge.
