A high school football game between Hawaii’s Mililani and Nevada’s Foothill was stopped early after a brawl broke out following Mililani’s touchdown and extra-point attempt.

The incident followed an eight-yard touchdown run by Mililani’s Makakoa West. As the extra-point kick went through the uprights, a confrontation near the line escalated, with players throwing punches, shoving one another and removing helmets, according to a Yahoo Sports report.

Coaches from both teams entered the field to help break up the altercation. Once the teams returned to their respective sidelines, officials met near the scrum before announcing that the game was over.

Mililani was leading 34–3 when play ended, 3:51 before the conclusion of the third quarter. The official status of the score was not confirmed in the supplied report.

The reported records leave Mililani at 4–0 and Foothill at 2–1. Mililani entered the week ranked No. 13 in the USA TODAY Sports Super 15 West rankings.
