The Tribune-Review is reporting that a fight broke out between Peters Township and Woodland Hills teams Saturday night.

The newspaper reports it was a "dramatic come-from-behind" victory for Peters Township High School. The first-round of the WPIAL Class AAAA playoffs were halted by a bloody altercation that stopped the game for about 10 minutes. 

Woodland Hills senior Shakim Alonzo on Sunday alleged that racial slurs provoked him to punch his PT opponent. 

According to the paper, Woodland Hills senior Shakim Alonzo was ejected from the game with 3:38 remaining in the fourth quarter for throwing an elbow, then ran the length of the court and punched Peters Township center Gabe Pritz in the side of the head, knocking him to the ground. 

Pritz lay on his back bleeding from his left ear while trainers attended to him before he was escorted to the locker room, according to the paper. He returned to the game, wearing a headband of gauze, and finished with 30 points, 12 rebounds and six blocks. Afterward, he told the Tribune-Review he was heading to a hospital to get stitches and checked for a concussion.

Peters Township (13th seed) won the game, 67-56, eliminating the fourth-seeded Woodland Hills in the WPIAL playoffs.

Woodland Hills coach Mike Decker told the paper he's "completely embarrassed." 

Gary Goga told the paper he was appalled when told Alonzo claimed his players were racially taunting him.

"He can claim whatever he wants," Goga told the Trib. "There's attention being taken away from what happened, and it's not a racial incident. It's not. Gabe says nothing, and he got blasted. Someone is trying to take away the focus that there was a brutal attack."

Alonzo was involved with a Peters Township player under the basket when he alleges the Indians player elbowed him in the stomach and used a slur, the Trib reports.

Alonzo turned around and threw a punch that missed the player, resulting in ejection.

"I was just standing there when (a Peters Township player) ran into me, shouldered me, and hit me in the stomach and (allegedly) said, ‘How do you like that, N-word?' and that's when I like lost it," Alonzo said.

Alonzo told the paper Pritz was not his intended target.

The incident is being investigated. Both schools will be required to report for a hearing at a WPIAL Board of Control meeting and could face discipline.

The next meeting is Tuesday, but it is unclear whether the matter will be discussed then.
