A brutal series of sucker punches was thrown in the handshake line after a high school basketball game in Iowa, leading to a fight between the two teams.

After a game between Nevada and Carlisle, a Carlisle Wildcats player squared up and threw two punches at a Nevada opponent, hitting him in the stomach and face, before being wrestled to the ground. Players from both teams then tried to break up the fight.

This was a game in which Nevada beat Carlisle. 72-47.

According to the Des Moines Register, there has as of yet been “no indication” as to the motive for the fight. The victim had a “serious enough concussion to render him unconscious,” and also needed four stitches, according to a criminal complaint.

“It’s a very unfortunate situation,” Nevada superintendent told TMZ Sports. “I’m happy they deescalated it. I thought our coaches and staff handled it well and got everyone out of there without it worsening.”
