The overtime ending of Friday night’s highly anticipated football game between Millbrook and Rolesville High Schools was postponed.<\/p>\n
Around 9:20 p.m., with just over eight minutes left, the game was suspended, and spectators were asked to leave the stadium by police.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Several teenagers were involved in an altercation. Raleigh police said the teens were pushing and shoving one another on school premises.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was a large crowd near the concession stands at Wildcat Stadium and many people were seen running away from the area before police evacuated the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Police allowed the game to resume without fans after a 25-minute delay. Only the teams, media, officials, and school and city personnel were allowed to remain in the stadium. Nearly 6,000 people attended the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the time of the pause, Rolesville led Millbrook 10-0. In the ensuing 8:16 of action, the Wildcats evened the score at 10 and opted to take a knee with 27 seconds left rather than run a final play.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ahead of the game, Millbrook High School asked people to enter through the main gates and be screened by metal detectors.<\/p>\n
The game was suspended a second time in overtime, and officials said it would finish at a later date. The score was tied at 10-10 in overtime when it was suspended again. Both schools declined to comment on the situation.<\/p>\n
