HICKMAN, Ky. (AP) - The football coach of a western Kentucky high school has been suspended after a brawl involving players during a game.

Fulton County schools superintendent Charles Holliday said he suspended Fulton County High School coach James Bridges on Wednesday at the recommendation of the principal of the school.

Holliday told The Paducah Sun he couldn't discuss personnel issues when asked why Bridges was suspended.

The superintendent said Fulton County High will also forfeit its scheduled game on Friday with Crittenden County. The fight broke out Oct. 2 with four minutes remaining in Fulton County's home game with Calloway County.

The newspaper reported officials at both schools said they await a KHSAA statement before deciding whether to suspend any players.
