Two high school football players were ejected from a game in Texas on Friday night after smoking the game official - allegedly on purpose.

Video of the play seems to tell the whole story.

While the referee was watching the play in front of him, one player - a safety who started the play behind the referee - runs into the official, knocking him down. Then another safety dives into the referee while he's lying on the ground.

The school district is investigating the incident, according to Ben Baby of the San Antonio Express-News.
