Arrest warrant issued after adult body-slams player at Texas school game

A girls' basketball game between Bryan and Brenham high schools in Texas ended in a fight involving players and spectators.

During the scuffle, an adult woman wearing Bryan colors ran onto the court and body-slammed a Brenham player.

The game was stopped with 2:23 left.

The player who was body-slammed and another player were taken to an emergency room; the second player's mother said her daughter had bruises, contusions and scratches.

Bryan police issued an arrest warrant for the woman, but have not made her identity public.

Both school districts said they are taking steps to address the conduct, and Bryan ISD said it is investigating the incident.
