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.
