Attorney for referee hit by John Jay players says client did

As the game pressed on, two Jay players were ejected earlier in the contest due to a few unsportsmanlike penalties the referee crew’s head umpire felt was so unnecessary that he ejected them.

The College Interscholastic League’s government committee heard from native officers on their investigation into the incident involving San Antonio Jay Excessive Faculty.

Aguirra said poor treatment from fans and others has sometimes made it hard for officials associations to attract people wanting to officiate. Marble Falls beat Jay in Friday’s recreation, 15-9.

The school district also says an assistant football coach at John Jay High School is on administrative leave.

With regard to the John Jay football program suffering some type of “death penalty” for the remainder of this season, or seasons to come, I refer back to my previous point, but I want to draw attention to ramifications beyond the innocent players being affected.

“This has been a humiliation for the varsity, the UIL and the state of Texas”, stated committee member James Colbert of Houston.

What appeared to be an intentional attack against an official during a high school football game in Texas last week that was captured on video is causing high school sports administrators around the country to remind coaches, players and parents about the importance of treating officials with respect. It’s disturbing that in our current society, we see something like this and it spreads like a virus over social media, and the next thing you know we’re forming opinions about something without knowing all of the facts. That is the place the management begins”, Garza advised Northside officers, calling the out-of-control environment “a time bomb ready to occur.

“The incident is shameful to us, and is deeply troubling to all of us who have been associated with athletics and extracurricular activities in our school district”, Superintendent Brain Woods said.

Northside ISD will conduct a disciplinary hearing for the students and treat the incident as an assault on a school official.

Woods stated considerations about sportsmanship could possibly be “utilized each methods”. Marble Falls school officials attended the meeting but declined an offer to testify. Watts’ attorney, Alan Goldberger of New Jersey, has denied Watts made racial remarks.

Yes, it happened in a football game in Texas. I sincerely hope that the remaining Jay players are given the chance to prove that this was an isolated incident, and not indicative of a culture being fostered, I hope they are given the chance to prove that they have pride and class, and know how to represent their community and San Antonio on the football field.

“These types of actions against any game official at any level are inexcusable”, said Jim Quirk, the group’s executive director. Fitch said he’s still waiting for a complete report on the game from the crew.

The students allege that assistant coach Mack Breed, 29, said “that guy needs to pay for cheating us” or words to that effect, according to the district.

Northside school district officials said that during the game, the suspended players “were feeling lots of frustration by what they perceived to be missed or wrong calls by the refs”.
