The June 7 hearing for a 17-year-old boy charged with assault in the Huron-Pioneer football fight was adjourned to June 21, a May court filing indicated.

The Pioneer student rejected a plea offer on April 5. If the boy would have admitted responsibility or pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor assault and battery charge, the prosecution wouldn't object to a sentencing agreement or a deferred sentencing, which would wipe his record clean.

The postponement essentially allows more time for a plea deal, though there was no indication that was the case in court records. The boy's attorney, Brooke Williams, did not return phone calls for comment.

At the hearing in April, a pretrial date of June 7 and a jury trial date of June 24 were set. According to court records, however, the pretrial date was first changed to May 17. On that day an agreement to adjourn the matter until June 21 was filed and signed by both the prosecution and defense.

The hearing will take place before Judge Donald Shelton.

The brawl started when coaches from Huron High School and Pioneer met after the game Oct. 12 and began a verbal altercation that turned physical when assistant coach Vince Wortmann shoved Huron head coach Cory Gildersleeve.

Wortmann was not charged because prosecutors ruled he believed he was defending Pioneer head coach Paul Test.

Wortmann was fired after the incident. Both head coaches have since resigned.

The boy — whom AnnArbor.com is not naming because he is a juvenile — is charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, aggravated assault and assault and battery.

The cases of two other students charged in the matter recently reached their conclusions. Bashir Garain, the 18-year-old Pioneer student accused of swinging a crutch during the fight, was sentenced in May to four months probation after pleading guilty to a felony assault charge. As a part of a plea deal, a second count of assault with a dangerous weapon and two misdemeanor counts of assault and battery were dismissed.

On April 30, a second 17-year-old Pioneer student was sentenced to six months probation and a $50 fine. He was found responsible on one count of misdemeanor assault and battery on Feb. 6. He originally was charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, aggravated assault and assault and battery.

Under a sentencing agreement, the incident will be expunged from the boy's record if he complies with the requirements of probation, which would involve community service.

At the time of his disposition, his public defender, Shelia Blakney, told AnnArbor.com the boy likely would appeal and that he likely would get a different attorney for that process. Court records indicate no appeal has been yet filed.
