A blowout high school football game on Friday night was called to an end early after the two teams got in a fight in which punches were thrown and a helmet was yanked off an athlete.
In the fourth quarter of the game against two teams in the Fresno, California area, the fight broke out during a punt by Garza High School to Central High School, according to the Sacramento Bee. Video of the chaotic scene shows some punches being thrown and appears to show a player from Graza ripping the helmet off a Central player and swinging it back in his direction one time before releasing it.
See a video below from the start of the punt through coaches’ intervention:
