A high school football game in Henderson, Nev., ended in chaos Friday night, as police used pepper spray to break up a fight between opposing players.
Canyon Springs had just defeated Basic High School when the two teams came to blows. According to Sam Gordon of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, 35 penalties - the majority of which were for personal fouls or unsportsmanlike conduct - were handed out during the game, and four Canyon Springs players were ejected in the second half.
Canyon Springs received the brunt of the pepper spray, though at least one Basic staff member was also targeted.
