SEQUIM - Home video might bring a high school brawl in Sequim off the basketball court and into the courtroom.

And this wasn't a fight between players -- but a punch out between a parent and the coaches of the opposing team.

It all happened at the end of the game between the Sequim Wolves and the Peninsula Seahawks last week.

The girls from both teams were shaking hands, when the parent from the losing team walked onto the floor and hit the team's coach, Jerrod Fleury.

Then, when other people in the stands tried to calm things down, witnesses say the assistant coach threw a few punches, hitting that parent twice.

The fight only lasted a few seconds, but Sequim Police say they're working to locate the Gig Harbor man they believe threw the punch and that he could face assault charges.

By the way, the game was a do or die for the West Central District. The Wolves won 56-41 and advanced to the district tournament.
