It read, “Officers with Edinburgh Police responded to Edinburgh High School on a harassment report among Edinburgh High School Football players. The incident started during football practice when a couple of players got into an argument. Edinburgh Police are investigating the harassment complaint and will forward any criminal charges to the Johnson County Prosecutors if a crime has been committed.
