CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A violent moment during a Beeville junior varsity football game was caught on camera and shared with 3NEWS by parents of one of the players.

The video shows two athletes locked up and falling to the ground during a play. The player on top then begins punching the one underneath, eventually pulling off the other player’s helmet and striking him with it.

The incident happened during Thursday night’s matchup between Beeville and La Vernia High School.

Beeville Head Coach Dave Holmgren told 3NEWS he has been in contact with La Vernia’s head coach regarding what happened.

3NEWS has reached out to both Beeville ISD and La Vernia ISD for comment. As of Friday afternoon, neither district has responded.

This is a developing story.
