The head coach of a Texas high school football team resigned after he struck two of his players with a wooden broom handle.<\/p>\n

“Other students were present in the locker room and witnessed this incident,” the Mineral Wells Independent School District said in a statement to USA Today<\/i>‘s Josh Peter<\/a>. “An investigation quickly determined that the students were indeed struck by Coach [Seth] Hobbs with the broom handle.”<\/p>\n

According to the Weatherford Democrat<\/i><\/a>, school district officials determined Hobbs struck the players April 6 with the handle of a broomstick used for drills.<\/p>\n

Hobbs, who was the boys athletic director at Mineral Wells High School in addition to his coaching duties, was offered the opportunity to finish a new two-year contract in a different role. He declined and chose to resign effective June 30.<\/p>\n

The Department of Family and Protective Services also opened an investigation into the incident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
