Texas high school girls’ basketball game decends into chaos as adult bodyslams player during brawl

A girls’ high-school basketball game in Bryan, Texas, descended into a fight between players, then spectators joined in. Video reportedly shows an adult woman grabbing a Brenham player around the throat and throwing her to the ground, prompting police and school investigations.

The incident happened in the fourth quarter on Tuesday, with Bryan trailing Brenham 67-51 and about two-and-a-half minutes remaining. Two players were treated at an emergency room for bruises, scratches and contusions; an arrest warrant for assault was issued for the unidentified woman. The game was abandoned, with Brenham’s score recorded as a win, its first over Bryan in 12 years, and another altercation was reported as the visiting team left.
