The Upper Darby Police Department said in a tweet that a physical fight broke out at Saturday night's matchup between Upper Darby High School and Monsignor Bonner.

Amid the commotion, some believed they heard shots being fired which caused players and fans to run for safety. A video tweeted by Philadelphia Sports Digest captured crowds of rushing across the field, towards the exit.
