East/World of Inquiry-Monroe game ends with fights, both disqualified from playoffs

Fights between players after a Section V football playoff game Nov. 7 have apparently resulted in the disqualification of both East High/World of Inquiry and Monroe from the Class B tournament. East High/WOI sealed a 14-6 win at Monroe by tackling the ballcarrier on the final play of the semifinal. The victory eliminated Monroe and sent the Eagles to the Section V Class B championship game Nov. 14 against Honeoye Falls-Lima. But just moments later, there were altercations from one 30-yard line to another. Coaches, officials and Rochester City School District personnel pulled players from piles, only to have to do the same elsewhere on the field. Fans came on to the field, adding themselves into the mix. Monroe principal Jason Muhammad said the school's athletic director received an e-mail from Section V just hours after the game and fights that said both teams were disqualified from the tournament. East High athletic director Eric Robinson had no comment but plans to reach out to Section V officials. There is a possibility that the HF-L Cougars, who came from behind to win their semifinal 28-14 Nov. 6, would be declared the Section V Class B champions and advance into the regional
