From the Des Moines register Tuesday morning..........
Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark learned Saturday that even someone who helps win a Super Bowl has to watch what he says at a high school girls' basketball game in Iowa.
Clark, a Livermore native and former Iowa football player, was asked to leave the gymnasium late in the third quarter of the district final game between Twin River Valley of Bode, where Clark attended high school, and Southeast Webster-Grand of Burnside in Burnside, two school officials said Monday.
"I have seen other parents behave a lot worse, but he apparently got into one of the officials' ear," said Kirk Gilson, the athletic director at Southeast Webster-Grand. "I really don't know what led up to it, but apparently one of the referees didn't like what he heard from him."
Gilson said Clark left the gymnasium immediately and without incident after being asked by Dan Grandfield, the Southeast Webster-Grand principal.
Attempts to reach Clark, who played an instrumental part in the Colts' drive to win the Super Bowl against Chicago this month, were unsuccessful.
Mike Jorgensen, Southeast Webster-Grand school superintendent and girls' basketball coach, said he knew Clark had to leave but did not notice any major disturbances.
"I didn't see it happen or hear anything because of the game," Jorgensen said of Clark. "All I know was that he was asked to leave. I didn't notice any kind of behavior that you would call disruptive."
Troy Dannen, executive secretary of the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union, said Monday night that he had received no report from school officials or the officiating crew of an ejection. Dannen said that the union's office is to be notified of any ejection that occurs during postseason play.
"We will be looking into this to find out what transpired," Dannen said.
Southeast Webster-Grand defeated Twin River Valley 65-52.
