San Antonio HS Football Players Hit Referee on Video: Latest Comments, Reaction

The Northside Independent School District and the University Interscholastic League in San Antonio are investigating after two John Jay High School football players violently collided with a referee during a game against Marble Falls.

Late in the team's 15-9 loss, a Jay defensive back slammed into the back of a referee, while his teammate then dove into the ref as he was on the ground, leading with his helmet. Video of the incident was posted on YouTube

Both players were ejected from the game and were later suspended from the team, per Sharon Ko of KENS5.

"The question of what instigated that is what we're trying to figure out," Northside ISD athletic director Stan Laing told Ben Baby of MySanAntonio.com, calling the incident "very disturbing."

"I've coached 14 years and I've never seen anything like it," Marble Falls coach Matt Green said.

Per Baby, two Jay players had already been ejected from the game on separate plays. The incident in question occurred while Marble Falls was attempting to run out the clock and preserve its win
