LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The NIAA has issued a double forfeiture for Desert Pines and Arbor View's football teams after a fight broke out at the end of last week's game.

The fight last Friday, September 22, was in violation of the Nevada Administrative Code and was therefore declared a double forfeit, according to the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association.
