I wouldn't assume the game is automatically going to be a win, the UIL will make the final decision. They may issue a double forfeit. I doubt the officials declared the game over and a certain team a winner. They more than likely suspended it as per TASO/UIL guidelines. We are told numerous times a year we do not end a game, we simply suspend it. A technical difference but an important one.
Players and substitutes leaving their team area to participate in a fight are DQd by rule so if the benches clear and they moving to participate in the fight, I can very easily see there not being enough players left to finish the contest.
Without seeing the video, I think the crew did the right thing. The UIL can sort out the mess.
