09:56 AM Fight at Elba On Friday Night

ELBA – COFFEE COUNTY:        TEXT RICKEY 334-790-1729 received a text last evening asking where five Coffee County Sheriff Deputies were headed last evening.

On Friday, September 19, 2025, the Elba Tigers lost their home football game to the Brantley Bulldogs with a score of 36-34. The game took place at Elba High School and was considered a close contest, marking Elba’s closest loss of the season

There was a fight that broke out at the game. RSN is in NO WAY AT ALL saying it was the football players. RSN just knows the deputies running lights and siren were responding to the football stadium where a fight broke out.

AGAIN … RSN is in no way saying it was either school or team. It could have been young people or parents saying an example of what not to do.

Just answering questions where all units were rolling to.
