High school football team incites violence by jumping into rival's creek after victory

A New York high school football rivalry took a violent turn after Harrison routed the host team Rye, 21-0, in a tension-filled game last Saturday.

Taunts by the winning team's fans throughout the game escalated into fights after the Harrison High School football players and cheerleaders took a celebratory dunk in a creek that flows next to the Rye football field, infuriating the home team and its fans, according to lohud.com.



Things got out of hand as dozens of Rye supporters jumped into the wet fray after losing the grudge match on the gridiron.



One person was charged with disorderly conduct and another had minor injuries, but it took police departments from a dozen agencies and neighboring communities to clear the crowd of 6,000, reported lohud.com.



Didn't it used to be that the winning team usually told the losers to go jump in a creek.
