MONROE, La. -- The Louisiana High School Athletic Association has stripped Madison Parish High of its home season for last week's brawl on the football field. Wossman High got less severe penalties for the brawl that ended the season-opener with 4:05 left.

A three-person executive committee said Madison officials showed "complete lack of administrative control."

LHSAA Executive Director Kenny Henderson says further home games must either be hosted by Madison's scheduled opponents or forfeited.

The committee said Madison player Courtney Perkins cannot participate in any LHSAA activities for a year.

Both schools are on disciplinary probation until next September, and all players and coaches must complete separate online training courses within the next two weeks. Wossman was fined $500 and Madison $1,000.
