I'm really surprised this didn't make the statewide news. It's no secret these towns and schools don't like each other, but wow. If you can hear the audio in the background, you will hear some accordion music, maybe trying to the do a "corrido." Lol on that... But not the fight.

I hear some pops too like gunshots or fireworks... like you, I'm surprised it didn't make bigger news

I hear some pops too like gunshots or fireworks... like you, I'm surprised it didn't make bigger news I think they do post game Fireworks at EE? But then you have those ambulances with their lights flashing, so who knows? EE and Mercedes is probably the last rivalry down there that still has the hate between both communities going 365 days of the year. Many of the schools that used to have rivalries like Donna vs Weslaco, McHi vs PSJA, Edinburg vs Mission are kind of watered down now because all of those towns have multi high schools and loyalties divided which tampers down the atmosphere and pre game hype. Even the Battle of the Arroyo with Harlingen vs San Benito isn't as intense as it was like 20 or more years ago, but draw a big crowd none the less. Back in the day we never had bench clearing fights like that, but the games and atmosphere was always intense and you had cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters who wouldn't speak to each other until maybe Thanksgiving or Christmas. Of course post game when we shook hands we didn't necessarily say good game or wish them the best down the road... Lol! We did have some fun pre game with going to our rivals field and putting our school logo down with Round Up among other things. These kids these days will never know.....

These guys really don't like each other they were always going at each other on the old RGV forum. On the other hand I've never seen much nonsense when Flour Bluff was playing either one.

We never really had issues either in all those years we played Mercedes in non district and then later in the playoffs often the same season . First game was always closer with the playoff game being a blowout. However the last time we played them with that being in the playoffs in 2017, they outright played dirty. So much so the Refs threw their stud LB out of the game because he and others were going for our linemen's knees and our coaches were complaining about it all the first half until the Refs actually saw it in the second and threw out the stud LB. Our line was so beat up after that game that we literally limped into the next game against Tivy and eked out the win and then the one hit wonder Austin McCallum upset us. That 2017 team should’ve been a repeat for Jerryworld had it not been for those injuries that sidelined or made 50 % strength probably one of our best O lines of the past ten seasons.

In watching that, I can honestly see a couple kids getting cuffed and arrested for assault charges. You just cannot do this anymore in the world we live in.
