Covington High School's varsity football coach was charged with assault after an incident at a high school girls basketball game, according to published reports.

Kevin Finfrock was charged with misdemeanor assault by the West Alexandria Police Department.

The incident occurred at Wednesday's sectional tournament basketball game between Milton-Union and Brookville at Twin Valley South High School.

Finfrock, whose daughter plays for Milton-Union, reportedly got into an argument with Mark Searcey, whose sister plays for the Bulldogs. Finfrock allegedly punched Searcey in the jaw.

Finfrock, a health teacher, has been placed on paid administrative leave by the Piqua City School District. He is scheduled to appear March 5 in Preble County Municipal Court.
