A brawl between junior college football teams East Mississippi Community College and Delta College resulted in the game being called before halftime.
East Mississippi Community College was obliterating Delta College 48-0 shortly before half when tempers boiled over, the benches cleared, and an absolutely insane fight began.

From a personal standpoint … Kudos to the Delta linebacker who threw a garbage can 20 yards in the air … Easily enough for a first down
