Jasper quarterback Leontay Sells handed the ball off to the running back, and was away from the play when he was hit from his blindside.
The Beaumont Enterprise spoke to Jasper head coach Darrel Barbay, who said the hit was “malicious” and led to a concussion for his quarterback.
Barbay said Sells will not play this week and may miss the season based on the severity of the concussion. Barbay also contacted the UIL to review the hit.
