BURNET, Texas — A former assistant high school football coach was sentenced to probation Monday after pleading guilty to assault for an attack on a game referee by two of his players.

Mack Breed, former assistant football coach at John Jay High School in San Antonio, pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge in a Burnet County court. County Court-at-law Judge Linda Bayless sentenced Breed to 18 months of probation, fined him $1,500 and ordered him to serve 120 hours of community service and pay restitution to referee Robert Watts.

Breed also must forfeit his Texas teaching certificate permanently and attend anger management sessions, said Burnet County Attorney Eddie Arredondo.
