'UNSPORTSMANLIKE' Parent calls Texas football coach a bully after blowout Oct 22nd 2013, 23:25 The coach of a Texas high school football team has been accused of bullying in a formal complaint after his team beat another school 91-0. MyFoxDFW.com reports a parent of a player on the Western Hills High School football team claims Aledo High School football coach Tim Buchanan encouraged his players to bully their opponents by running up the score. Buchanan learned of the online complaint against him Saturday, the day after his team beat Western Hills in a 4A matchup. Buchanan tells MyFoxDFW.com he pulled his starters from the game after the first quarter and even eventually brought in his third-string players, but it was clear the game was going to be a blowout. The clock was also run continuously starting in the third quarter. In the report, which was released Tuesday, the unnamed parent lists both football teams as victims and the Aledo High School coaching staff as the offenders. The parent claims "everyone in the football stadium" was a witness to Buchanan and his staff's "unsportsmanlike conduct." "We all witnessed bullying firsthand, it is not a pretty sight," the complaint reads according to MyFoxDFW.com. "I did not know what to say on the ride home to explain the behavior of the Aledo coaches for not easing up when the game was in hand." Buchanan, whose team is averaging 69.3 points a game and is on its way to a 7-0 record, said he is not sure what else he could have done besides telling his players to take a knee. "I'm not gonna tell a kid that comes out here and practices six to seven hours a week trying to get ready for football games 'Hey, you can't score a touchdown if you get in, you're gonna have to take a knee,' cause that may be the only touchdown that kid gets to score in his high school career," Buchanan told MyFoxDFW.com. State law requires Aledo's principal to investigate the complaint and prepare a report. Click for more from MyFoxDFW.com. The Associated Press contributed to this report
