Working the refs gets dangerous in Texas high-school football game

From Hot Air:
A Friday night football game between John Jay and Marble Falls high schools got ugly after a Jay player got ejected from the game in an altercation with the opposing team. A couple of plays later, one JHS player blind-sided an official, while another speared the man while he was down on the field.
.......................

That may relate to the coordination on this play between the two assailants. Clearly they both had the same idea at the same time, and that doesn’t seem coincidental. The question will be whether anyone else gave them that idea, or whether they were just dumb enough to dream it up on their own. Suffice it to say that any investigation of this incident will also be taking a close look at other players on Jay High School’s football team, and their coaches as well — although it’s very, very difficult to believe that adults would be stupid enough to order this kind of brazen battery on an official. Not impossible, mind you, just very, very difficult. The game had already gotten out of hand earlier, resulting in the earlier ejection, so this at least reflects on the team’s leadership on the sidelines as well as between the lines.

What should be the punishment for this kind of cowardly, cheap-shot attack on a game official?
Opening Bid - Lifetime ban from any high school sports for the players.

If a coach was involved, nationwide lifetime ban for coaching any sport, at any level. Plus criminal charges against that coach.

If the Head Coach was involved, nationwide lifetime ban for any participation on any sport at any level.

Next question, how long before the players will justify their actions, claiming the ref made some type of racial remark.........

I'm will to bet, since it;'s in Texas both players are hispanic. Will be find out they are also illegals/dreamers/anchor babies?
