It would have been easy for Trey Haynes to lose his head, especially when considering he had already lost his helmet. And not just lost a helmet, but had it ripped off by an official last week during a game.<\/span><\/p>\n

The player at the center of a most unusual confrontation with a game official has been partly vindicated, while that same official is now being investigated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Haynes, a high school football player at Whitney High School (Whitney, Texas), was\u00a0<\/span>simply trying to make a play last Friday<\/span><\/a>. Following a collision with a game official, Haynes had his helmet ripped off by the official.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if that wasn’t enough, Haynes was also ejected from the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the Texas University Interscholastic League (UIL), which oversees the organization and administration of 14 different sports in Texas, released a statement that reversed Haynes’s game ejection.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the official statement<\/a>, the Texas UIL also said that it is investing the game official at the center of this incident:<\/p>\n

\n

“Additionally, the official involved has been removed from officiating UIL games pending the completion of a thorough investigation.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
