Basic High School and Canyon Springs High School — two schools in Nevada — clearly don’t like each other.
Last night’s game between the schools ended in an all-out brawl and, shockingly, police used pepper spray to break it up.
As you can see in the video below, players and coaches are maced on the field by an officer, who then points it at the other team as he separates the two brawling squads:

Children are crying. Chaotic scene over here. Canyon players saying that can't see. #NVPrepsFB.

This ending was inevitable, as Gordon wrote that 35 penalties were called during the game, many of which were for unsportsmanlike conduct.
If these two teams play again this year, or when they meet up again next year, there will probably be an even bigger police presence to ensure things don’t get out of hand once again.
