A little over a week ago, a couple of high school safeties annihilated a ref from behind in a video that made national headlines. You likely saw something about it. There was, after all, quite a bit of uproar.

It's a controversy you wouldn't want to be in the middle of, and though it's unlikely you'd ever attack a ref, it should serve as a warning to any of you out there who may be thinking about it. Going viral is rarely a good thing.

Enter different San Antonio-area senior Zeke Cardenas, who must've missed the local and national news, because he shoved an official this week after getting flagged for shoving an opposing player. It should be noted that this time the ref was facing Cardenas. We guess that's a slight improvement.

If you don't like build-up/suspense in your videos, simply fast forward the above footage to around the 40-second mark.

Cardenas was obviously ejected.
