DONNA, Texas (AP) -- Three high school coaches have been fired
two weeks after several of their players were charged with the
attempted sexual assault of a freshman player.
Donna School Board members fired head football coach and
athletic director David Evans, head baseball and assistant varsity
football coach Alfredo Holguin Jr. and head freshman football coach
Robert D. Gracia on Thursday.
Late last month, the South Texas high school's starting
quarterback, Derick Castillo, and Reynaldo Magallanes, both 18,
were charged with misdemeanor assault and two counts of attempted
sexual assault.
Another varsity player who was 16 at the time of the alleged
incidents also was arrested and released to the custody of his
parents.
Seven other victims have come forward and more arrests are
expected, said school board president Matthew Jones.
Castillo and Magallanes were released on bond.

sad to say...
they aren't the only ones.
we've had several incidents in the el paso area alone.

There are probably five to ten times more newspaper-reported hazing incidents in high schools as in GLOs.

This is not a good time to be a HS coach. The soccer moms, basketball moms, etc., are so worried about little Johnny and Susie having their feelings hurt, and so they make it hard for some of the traditional locker room antics to continue - and insist on the death penalty in all cases.
