Willis, Texas - A Willis ISD basketball coach was assaulted by two men after getting back to school from a game in Conroe.
On December 5, 2023, around 9:52 p.m., the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office was dispatched to Willis High School about an assault that occurred in the parking lot at the school.
According to the victim, who is a coach for Willis ISD, he was assaulted by several individuals, including a student identified as Jevin Allen, 17, when they returned to the school after the Willis and Conroe game.
The coach says Jevin was benched at the game due to his behavior toward an opposing team player, which infuriated Jevin and his family.
