STOCKTON, Calif. - An assistant youth football coach clearly doesn't know the meaning of good sportsmanship. Cory Petero, 36, was arrested for felony child abuse after allegedly rushing the field and attacking a player on the opposing team. Petero turned himself into police following what witnesses described as a brawl, with parents and children all joining the fight on the field. It all began when referee Tim Winek called a penalty on 13-year-old Brian Wood. "There was a penalty on the play, and it was a late hit," Winek said. "The parent of the kid who got hit took exception to it. He came charging out onto the field." The fighting continued for about 20 minutes, but no major injuries were reported.
