A food fight at Whataburger was captured on video, showing Texas high schoolers celebrating on Saturday night wreaking havoc. Whatburger said it won’t press charges after students involved in the food fight apologized.
The fight was sparked after rival high schools O’Connor beat Brandeis, 12-10, on Saturday.
The high school students later apologized this week for their actions, which was captured on students’ cell phones.
The footage showed food, drinks, and trays sailing through the air.
“Campus administrators will review videos to identify students who will face appropriate consequences including suspension from school,” Northside Independent School district spokesman Pascual Gonzalez said in a statement to ABC News. “NISD will also cooperate with law enforcement and restaurant management in pursuing criminal charges if warranted.”
The San Antonio Express reported that Whataburger won’t seek charges against the students.
“Clearly the rivalry between select students from these two high schools got out of hand, resulting in a 30-second food fight that required our team to close the dining area for 30 minutes to clean up the mess left behind,” the company stated.
It noted that principals at both schools apologized and numerous students said they were sorry.
“We understand that this act was an emotional moment between a small group of students and not representative of the entire student population,” a spokesman told the paper in an email. “The Whataburger team will continue to welcome Brandeis and O’Connor students at our restaurants and we’re also committed to continuing the partnership and support of both high schools.”
