The New Mexico Activities ***** ociation has leveled a first strike against the Mayfield High School football team following an ugly on-field incident last week.
During a second-quarter skirmish that initially involved a couple of players from both the Trojans and Organ Mountain on Friday night at the Field of Dreams, approximately two dozen Mayfield players rushed off the sideline and onto the field to join the fray.
Following a multi-day investigation, the NMAA on Wednesday announced that Mayfield, under the organization's still relatively new "2 Strikes" sportsmanship initiative, would be issued a first strike.
If Mayfield's football team is involved in any other serious on-field issue the rest of the season and the NMAA deems it "strike" worthy, a second strike would mean the Trojans would have whatever remains of their season cancelled.
Organ Mountain did not receive a strike.
