Video taken on a smartphone camera shows eight students at White Station High School in Memphis, Tennessee laying the smackdown on each other. The participants in the brawl have earned juvenile court summonses since the clip went viral earlier this week.

The video of the fight is embedded below. It plays out like a scene out of a high school version of Apocalypse Now, or maybe a modern take on Lord of the Flies.
