"I heard there were kids doing donuts and stuff, causing a ruckus with their dirt bikes," student Logan Wisniewski said. "The coach wasn’t happy with it. He asked them politely to stop doing that. The kids weren’t having that, so they decided to jump him."

The video of the attack was the talk of the high school Friday, after many students had seen it.

A district spokesperson couldn't say how the coach is doing, but people familiar with the incident say he's recovering.

"I was shocked," student Xavier Houston said. "I kind of didn’t want to go to school today. I was really trying to see if I could go home."
