The Virgin Valley-Democracy Prep football game Friday was ruled a double forfeit after an altercation took place in the third quarter, the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association said in an email Tuesday.

Both teams will be eligible to play this week, the NIAA said. Virgin Valley (3-2) hosts Pahrump Valley at 7 p.m. Friday, and Democracy Prep (3-2) plays at Mater East at 7 p.m. Friday.

Virgin Valley was leading Friday’s road game 18-6 when the altercation took place.
