Here's the CIF press release:

LOS ALAMITOS -- After completing the investigation of the St. Paul-Riverside Notre Dame football game last Friday night, which included reviews of video, written reports from the game officials and statements from both schools it is has been determined that both schools will forfeit that contest.

Additionally, due to the fact each school will be without the minimum required number of players to compete in their next contests, those games will be forfeits as well.

Evidence gathered makes it clear that this game was ended due to multiple violations of CIF Southern Section Bylaw 1927 which states, “Any player who leaves the confines of the bench area during a fight that has broken out or may break out will be ineligible for the team’s next contest.

We have a zero tolerance policy for incidents such as this one and there will be no winners when they do occur,” stated Commissioner of Athletics Rob Wigod.”
