Hey all! Found this story while scrolling through SEOPreps and thought it was pretty funny as it apparently involved a dustup in the 1991-92 OHSAA Athens Regional between Sparta Highland and Wheelersburg, involving my dad and Jason Terry:

"A little side note about the Terry boys Dad. Jason Terry played for Sparta Highland and back in 1992 Sparta and Burg hooked up in the Regional final at the Convo. A Sparta player came off the bench and started a fight with Burg PG Cris Carter in the 2nd half. (Was told by a fan of Sparta as we we were leaving that the kid that started the fight hardly played all year and he thought it was wrong what the Sparta coach did, but it worked.) Carter and that kid were ejected and during the fight 6’4” Chris Ellis had 7’2” Jason Terry by the throat. Burg struggled without Carter and lost."

My dad (Chris) claims he saw Terry trying to get at another one of his teammates and being the tallest guy on the team wasn't going to let that happen, lol.

Only problem with that story was it was the Burg player who started that fight. And JT did not back down.

From what I read from the post the Sparta Highland player who came off the bench started it with Cris Carter, Burg's PG, and it snowballed from there. My dad (Chris Ellis) did slyly admit he grabbed JT by the neck / throat in the scuffle though.

The Sparta player off the bench wasn’t putting up with Carter’s BS. Burg was losing and did not take that very well.
