Fifteen Miami Carol City players have been suspended and the team has been barred from postseason play after a brawl between the team and Georgia Grayson High School, according to the source report.
The Carol City team returned to the field Friday night against Miami Northwestern Senior High in Northwest Miami-Dade. The team won 17-6, but the postseason ban remains in place.
Supporters wore “Free Carol City” shirts to protest the discipline. Carol City Principal Bridget McKinney responded to the incident, saying the community’s history is not erased by one chapter during difficult times.
The suspensions and postseason ban keep the Carol City program out of the playoffs this season, even as the team continues its regular-season schedule.
