High school game in California ended early due to fight

In the fourth quarter of the game against two teams in the Fresno, California area, the fight broke out during a Garza High School punt against Central High School, according to the Sacramento Bee. Video of the chaotic scene shows several punches and what appears to be a Garza High School player ripping the helmet off a Central High School player's head and swinging it back toward him once before letting go.

Below you can see a video from the start of the punt to the intervention of the coaches:

The owner of the social media platform X Page, who also runs this Central Valley High School sports website, posted a second angle on the fight:
