The Florence County Sheriff’s Office and the South Carolina High School League are conducting investigations following a brawl between football teams from Wilson and Lake City high schools.

Wilson’s first game since winning the state championship last season had an ugly ending as the Tigers and Lake City brawled on the field as soon as the clock ran out Thursday night at Memorial Stadium.

The Wilson Tigers have spent the past seven months reaping the benefits of last year’s state championship — media coverage, ring ceremonies and more congratulatory phone calls than they can count.

The Tigers are coming off a magical postseason run which resulted in the Class 3A championship. Wilson, which finished third in the region, won all of its games away from Memorial Stadium.
