EASTMAN - Authorities say a dispute between two coaches resulted in a stabbing during a youth football game earlier this week.<br /> <br /> The Telegraph of Macon reports that 7- and 8-year-olds from Telfair and Wheeler counties were playing their annual Turkey Bowl in Eastman when the violence occurred. <br /> <br /> Dodge County Sheriff Lynn Sheffield says one of the Wheeler players wanted to come out of the game on Monday night. That's when two of his coaches began arguing. <br /> <br /> Authorities say 31-year-old coach Christopher McDowell of Alamo was stabbed in his left side. <br /> <br /> The sheriff says 29-year-old coach Kerry E. Williams of McRae was jailed on a charge of aggravated assault.
