University of Wisconsin football star Montee Ball was with teammates at a party July 27 when a fight broke out in which one person was injured and possibly set the stage for the early Wednesday assault that left the Heisman Trophy candidate with a concussion and facial injuries, Madison police said Saturday. Also, detectives have identified several “persons of interest” who may become suspects in the attack on the running back, said Officer Howard Payne.
