I'm typically an optimistic person, but should n't we be very concerned when we see girls/young women getting caught up in stuff like this?

No, we should be concerned when ANYONE attacks someone like that.
It sounds like it would have been just another typical assault story that you would have blown off had the alleged perpetrators not been "young girls."
They're human, and neither gender is immune to bad decisions.
As for "southern civility," I guess these girls missed the cotillion class where they taught, "Don't beat up and threaten to kill your baby daddy's new girlfriend."

Men do not have a gender lock on beating each other up. Women beat each other up all the time, but it doesn't make the news unless there's something particularly interesting about the case. The only reason this case is news is that one of the girls used to be a locally famous basketball player.

And this is not a recent thing. At any time in history you will find cases where women beat each other up, very often because a man and/or child was involved.

"Southern Civility" only applied to the richer classes; people who could afford to send their daughters to "finishing school" and such. Lower middle class and poor southern women are just as tough and scrappy as you'll find anywhere else in the world. Hurt a rich girl and she'll get her boyfriend/husband/brother/father to beat you up. Hurt a poor girl and she'll throw a b**** slap and take you down herself.
