An Oregon high school coach who allegedly woke players up in the middle of the night during a team camp and began slapping them appeared in court on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

According to outlets including KGW8 and KPTV<\/a>, during a camp at Linfield University in late June, Jones allegedly entered the room of the athletes around 1 or 1:30 in the morning. Players told KPTV that he began slapping some students and jumped on top of one.<\/p>\n

One of the players said to KPTV<\/a>: \u201cHe targeted some of the younger guys. Went up to each of them individually and started smacking them one by one … Some of them he\u2019d jump on top of and put himself on.\u201d<\/p>\n
