Texas school investigating vicious hit on referee during high school football game
A Texas school district is investigating after video showing a series of vicious – and apparently intentional – hits on a referee by two high school players during a game on Friday went viral.
Northside Independent School District is looking into a play in which two John Jay High School defensive players hit a ref with about a minute left during a 15-9 loss to Marble Falls.
"The bottom line is, Northside will not tolerate this type of behavior,” NISD spokesman Pascual Gonzalez told KENS5 on Sunday. “It does appear the athletes intentionally tackled the referee, but we have not confirmed it.”

These kids never need to play high school football again. Or football at any level, for that matter.
