SPRING, TEXAS — Bad blood from what should have been a friendly rivalry game between Spring and Westfield spilled onto the field at Leonard George Stadium Friday night.

Westfield held a 36-25 lead with 6:18 remaining in the fourth when an all-out melee between the schools broke out following two consecutive personal foul calls against Spring.

Both benches cleared, punches were thrown, helmets were thrown and players were stomped, forcing Spring Athletic Director Willie Amendola to call the game, giving Westfield the win after a heated night on the gridiron.

Both squads were wired coming into the game. Spring suffered two losses to Westfield last season, with the second one ending a playoff run. Westfield could sense the intensity coming in and matched it on the field.

Amendola refused to comment on the brawl and called the game with 6:18 remaining.

3. Well I went to the Wharton - Lamar Consolidated football game last night and it was a split

decision.

Wharton won the football game 42-0, but Lamar Consolidated won the battle of the band about 180-60. It's the largest and best band that I've seen this season. They are marching in the New Year's Day parade in Chicago.

4. Glad to see Willie Amendola taking responsible action on this.

Willie's a solid citizen, always has been. And yes, that's his son Danny who plays for the New England Patriots.
