Michael Mitchell, the Paramus Catholic football coach accused of taking part in a melee among players at the school last Friday, said top recruit Dorian Hardy and another senior were the aggressors in the altercation and that Hardy beat his freshman son so badly he's now in the hospital.

Mitchell’s son, Miles, a 14-year-old at Paramus Catholic, was punched by Hardy at least twice during the altercation, Miles Mitchell said at his room today at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood. He was diagnosed with a concussion the night of the incident, and Wednesday, during school, he suffered a seizure in class and was taken to the hospital, his family said.

Miles Mitchell’s right eye was nearly swollen shut and his head was heavily wrapped with gauze during an interview Thursday afternoon. Michael Mitchell said doctors are running tests to determine the extent of his injuries and the cause of the seizure.

“They tried to kill my son,” Michael Mitchell said. “I just hope he makes it through this and isn’t hurt for the rest of his life.”

The Mitchells' account of the incident came hours after NJ Advance Media reported details of the brawl among star players, teammates and Michael Mitchell that erupted after practice at Paramus Catholic last Friday. Hardy's father, Charles Hardy, said Michael Mitchell punched his son twice in the face after Hardy came to the aid of a teammate who was hit with a helmet during the fight.

Michael Mitchell denied punching Dorian Hardy, but said the school fired him from his coaching position.

Miles Mitchell admitted swinging his helmet at senior Jonathan Clark and striking him in the back. Miles Mitchell said he used his helmet because Clark was choking him with both hands.

The other freshman involved in the fight, Joshua Hernandez, said the altercation began when Hardy told him to pull down his jersey. Hernandez said when he didn’t move fast enough, Hardy tried to remove the freshman’s helmet and choke him. Around the same time, Hernandez said, Clark shoved him and his head smashed against a wall.

It was at that point that Miles Mitchell intervened and tried to help Hernandez, according to both freshmen and their parents.

Hernandez’s father, Johnson, called Miles Mitchell “my hero because Miles was trying to help my son.” Johnson Hernandez added that he took his son to Hackensack Medical Center Saturday, where he was diagnosed with a concussion.

“Those two kids attacked my son for no reason,” Johnson Hernandez said.

Meanwhile, Hardy’s mother, Sharon Hardy, said Thursday her son only punched Miles Mitchell after the freshman swung his helmet and hit Clark with it. She also questioned why Miles Mitchell was allowed to return to school after a brief suspension and her son was told he was suspended indefinitely.

“I don’t understand why my child was wrong for protecting his teammate and fighting him after getting hit with a helmet,” Sharon Hardy said. “I don’t understand why my son gets suspended, his scholarship may be in jeopardy, when another kid used a weapon and hit somebody upside the head.”

Paramus police were eventually called last Friday and produced a report saying four players and Michael Mitchell were involved in the fight. According to the police account, the physical altercation began around 5:24 p.m. when a player believed to be Dorian Hardy started to pull on another player’s jersey, records say. A teacher intervened in the hallway and broke up the fight, but it continued outside, prompting two other players and Mitchell to join in, the report said.

The fight was broken up by 5:27 p.m., according to the report.

A 14-year-old player believed to be Miles Mitchell had visible swelling to his face, the report stated. It also said that Michael Mitchell “became involved in the altercation,” but it did not say he threw punches.

It's unclear how the altercation will affect the status of Hardy and Clark, a pair of seniors with scholarship offers from Division 1 program. Hardy, a 6-foot-5, 245-pound defensive end, is a four-star recruit who has verbally committed to play next year for Penn State. Clark, meanwhile, has committed to Central Michigan University.

Both players have left the school, their parents said.
