Official bloodied, 8 players ejected following NC State vs ECU melee at Go Bowling Military Bowl

Things took a turn for the worse near the end of Saturday’s Go Bowling Military Bowl between NC State and ECU. A brawl broke out in the final minute of a 26-21 victory for the Pirates, leaving one referee bloody after taking a helmet to his face.

Chaos took over as the benches emptied and several players from both teams got involved in the fight. The official suffered the injury when an ECU player pushed an NC State player in the back, causing him to fall forward into the referee and headbutt him with his helmet.

Eight players were ejected as a result of the fracas, five from the Wolfpack and three from the Pirates. It took a while to get everything sorted out before the final 38 seconds ticked off the clock and ended the game.

This story will be updated.
