The Texas high school athletic association is investigating an incident between a referee and student athlete during a football game Friday night.
Whitney High School was competing against James Madison High School at Seagoville Stadium in Dallas when a Whitney football player, Trey Haynes, collided with the referee. The sports official aggressively pushed back and tore off Haynes' helmet, according to a video shared by Haynes' mother. Haynes is also the son of the Whitney football coach David Haynes.
"How is this allowed from a ref!" Haynes' mother, Karla Haynes, wrote on X. "You literally assaulted him!"
