High school football players ejected for vicious cheap shots on referee
Two high school football players in Texas were ejected from a game late in the fourth quarter after appearing to intentionally target a referee and hit him from behind.
Marble Falls led John Jay 15-9 and had possession of the ball with around one minute remaining on the clock. As Marble Falls rushed the ball, one John Jay player lined up as a safety charged into the back of the referee, nearly 10 yards away from the play. After the referee fell to the ground, another player dove into him, leading with his helmet. Both players were ejected, and Northside Independent School District says it is investigating the incident.
John Jay’s coach Gary Gutierrez apologized for his players’ actions after the game.
Via MySanAntonio:
“After the game, [Marble Falls coach Matt] Green said Jay coach Gary Gutierrez apologized for the late events.
Green said he had to believe there was no way Gutierrez condoned the behavior and was upset with the behavior of those players…. Green said the play was unique from others he’s witnessed during his career.
“I’ve coached 14 years and I’ve never seen anything like it,” Green said.”
