An assistant coach for John Jay High in San Antonio is alleged to have said, “this guy needs to pay for cheating us” before two John Jay players appeared to target and intentionally hit a football official during Friday’s game.
The coach, Mack Breed, has been placed on administrative leave following Northside Independent School District protocol, spokeman Pascual Gonzalez said during a news conference Tuesday and according to a summary of events provided by the school district to TEGNA partner KENS5.
The district said Breed’s “suggestion was inappropriate and could have led to the incident.”
Breed, 29, has been with the district since 2010.
