Kentucky signees DJ Wagner and Aaron Bradshaw were involved in an ugly brawl during a high school rivalry game last night.
Footage shows that an altercation started involving another teammate of Wagner and Bradshaw. Wagner had to be physically restrained from getting into the melee.
Here’s a look at what happened and an excerpt about the ugly incident from The Philadelphia Inquirer:

Video shows an altercation between Camden’s Cornelius “Boog” Robinson, a senior who signed to play for Albany, and Eastside’s Titus Bacon. Wagner then charged after Bacon and had to be restrained as coaches tackled players to the ground and fans and parents made their way onto the court looking to break up a fight.
The teams were escorted to the locker rooms with Camden leading Eastside 30-17. A few minutes later, it was announced that the rest of the game would not be played.
According to NJSIAA rules, any player or coach ejected before, during, or after an interscholastic event for unsportsmanlike, flagrant verbal or physical misconduct will be disqualified from the next regularly scheduled game — and if any varsity team accumulates three or more player or coach disqualifications prior to the start of the state tournament, they will not be permitted to participate, meaning the incident could cost Camden a chance at the state title.
