A fight near the end of third quarter in Saturday night's high school football game between Mililani (HI) and Foothill (NV) resulted in the game being called early.
The game was called with 3:51 remaining in the third quarter on Sept. 5.
Mililani, the No. 13 team in the USA TODAY Sports Super 15 West rankings entering the week, had just scored a touchdown on an 8-yard run by Makakoa West. The visiting team attempted the point after attempt and as the kick went through the uprights, punches were thrown.
The scrum started as a minor skirmish near the line between a few players and quickly boiled over to multiple players throwing punches, being shoved and helmets taken off.
The fight was mainly limited to the field with a handful of Mililani players rushing onto the field as nearly every Foothill player remained on their sideline. Coaches from both sides rushed onto the field to quickly break the fight up.

So early, so clutch.
The new-look Mililani Trojans turned to some old staples to rally for a 31-24 win over Nevada powerhouse Liberty on a soggy Friday night at John Kauinana Stadium.
Trailing 24-14 at the half with electrifying new wide receiver Zion White sidelined by an ankle injury, Mililani's defense came up with two fourth-down stops. A crucial 35-yard strike from new quarterback Hunter Fujikawa to Bless Cabrera-Hopkins set up a 1-yard TD run by Toa Sam to give the Trojans a 31-24 lead with 2:10 remaining.
Liberty's dangerous offense was ready for a down-to-the-wire finish, but Mililani defensive lineman Lincoln Uiagalelei read a middle-screen pass and came up with the interception to seal the win with 1:21 left.
"He still has never dropped a pass," Cabrera-Hopkins said, referring to his TD pass to Uiagalelei last year.

California hired Tosh Lupoi to be its new head football coach, bringing the former Oregon defensive coordinator back to his alma mater. It hasn't taken him long to get the Golden Bears on the right track from a recruiting standpoint.
Doing its best to go toe-to-toe with the best in its state and the ACC, Cal currently has the No. 21 class in the 2027 Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. As of Aug. 6, it has 25 total commits, including 11 four-stars.
To no surprise, the in-state trail has served Cal well. It has commitments from five of the top 25 prospects in the Golden State and 16 in-state prospects overall. The headliner is a top-100 overall recruit in Westlake Village (Calif.) Westlake four-star wide receiver Charles Davis.
The 6-foot-4, 190-pounder leads what looks like one of the best pass-catching quartets in the nation. Davis, Sacramento Grant Union four-star tight end Rahzario Edwards, Westlake four-star WR Demare Dezuern and Honolulu (Hi.) Mililani four-star WR Zion White are the four highest-ranked commits in the class.
Sutter (Calif.) four-star EDGE Troy Bowens is the top-ranked commit on the defensive side of the ball. His pledge came in March and was an early catalyst for the Bears as they began to stack recruiting wins throughout the spring.

Mililani collected nine of 13 first-place votes to claim the No. 1 ranking in the first Honolulu Star-Advertiser Football Top 10 of the season.
The Trojans are stoked about the arrival of two major offensive playmakers: quarterback Hunter Fujikawa and wide receiver Zion White. The two played together as sophomores at Punahou in 2024. White transferred to IMG Academy as a junior, but returned to the islands this year.
Fujikawa played three seasons at Punahou before enrolling at Mililani for his senior year.
Defending Open Division state champion Campbell received three first-place votes and is No. 2. On Friday, the Sabers will visit No. 7 Waipahu. Campbell will not host a football game this fall, the third year in a row without a home contest due to lingering facility issues.
Kahuku, under first-year head coach David Stant, garnered one first-place vote and opens the season at No. 3. Stant was the offensive coordinator last year. In 2009, he guided Kamehameha to a state championship.

From the Golden State to the Islands to the Sunshine State, back to the Islands and now back to the Golden State.
It is a full circle moment for Mililani (Hawaii) receiver Zion White.
White announced his commitment to Cal after taking an official visit to Berkeley.
It winds down a ride that saw him move from Southern California to Hawaii as a youngster, then make the move to Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy for his junior season.
White chose to return to Hawaii for his senior season but will return to his native California for college.
