CONNELL, WA (AP) -

A YouTube video of hard fouls at a high school basketball game in Washington has drawn national attention to the school and raised questions about sportsmanship.

The video was taken at a Dec. 22 game at Connell High School against Highland High School of Cowiche.

The video shows Highland players knocked hard to the floor multiple times.

North Franklin School District Superintendent Gregg Taylor told KVEW he had no idea the video would get so much attention. He agrees the fouls were inappropriate and excessive, and he says the district has taken action to make sure they don't happen again.

The coach, he says, will not be fired.

KVEW reports the Washington Officials Association is reviewing the video.
