High School Football

A contentious High School Football game between Canyon Springs and Basic High School in Nevada ended in an all out brawl between players and coaches Friday night that had to be broken up by police and pepper spray.

Via the Las Vegas Review-Journal:

Clark County School District police used pepper spray to break up a fight on the field between Canyon Springs and Basic football players after the Pioneers’ 20-15 victory over the Wolves on Friday night at Basic High School.

The brunt of the spray was directed toward a group of Canyon Springs players and coaches, though at least one Basic staffer was targeted.

Several Pioneers, including coach Gus McNair, screamed in pain as they walked back to their sideline. McNair’s prepubescent son also was hit with pepper spray and cried for several minutes.

Prior to the brawl there were a total of 35 penalties assessed during the game with four Canyon Springs players being ejected.

Canyon Springs ended up winning the game 20-15 at Basic High School.

At this point it’s unclear if any charges will be filed.
