State Center Probes Alleged Tahoe Beach Brawl Between ADs

State Center Community College District is investigating an alleged brawl between two of its athletic directors on a South Lake Tahoe beach while on school business.

A video circulating on social media apparently shows a fight between Fresno City College Athletic Director Derrick Johnson and Madera Community College interim Athletic Director Jesse White on June 3 while the two were in Lake Tahoe for the California Community College Athletic Association conference.

The video shows White pinning Johnson on the beach before Johnson escapes. The two reengage and stumble about before White strikes Johnson in the head.

A spokesperson with SCCCD said an investigation is underway.

“We are aware of the incident and are investigating in accordance with the District’s board policies and administrative regulations,” the spokesperson said.

White previously worked under Johnson before taking the job at Madera in 2025.
