Texas school district investigates after players hit referee

— -- MARBLE FALLS, Texas -- A San Antonio School district is investigating an incident in which a high school football player ran into the back of a referee watching a play and another player then dove into the official after he fell. Both players were ejected from the game.

Northside Independent School District athletic director Stan Laing told the San Antonio Express-News that video of the incident was "very disturbing."

Laing said the district is investigating what led to the incident Friday.

The team from John Jay High School in San Antonio was playing Marble Falls High School in Marble Falls, located about 86 miles north of San Antonio.

Before the referee was hit, two Jay players had been ejected on separate plays.

Marble Falls coach Matt Green said Jay coach Gary Gutierrez apologized after the game.

"I've coached 14 years and I've never seen anything like it," Green told the newspaper.
