Archer City students chanted "Build that wall" during a high school volleyball game Friday against a school located along the Texas-Mexico border, according to a social media post.

The incident involved students from Archer City ISD, not far from Wichita Falls. It was directed toward Fort Hancock ISD during a regional volleyball match in Snyder, in West Texas, officials said. The chant was a reference to President-elect Donald Trump's campaign promise that he would build a wall between Mexico and the U.S.

The students also held Donald Trump/Mike Pence signs and what appeared to be a "Come and Take It" flag, which was flown at the Battle of Gonzales, the first military engagement in the Texas Revolution.

Archer City district officials said in Facebook page Sunday that they were aware of "some offensive language used by our student section" during the game.

"Appropriate action is being taken to address this behavior. In no way do we condone this type of language or behavior," the post stated."We apologize to the students and community of Ft. Hancock. The administration is making every effort to ensure this doesn't happen again."

Fort Hancock ISD Superintendent Jose Franco told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he accepted the apology. He told his high school volleyball team that there "are a lot more good people than ignorant people out there who judge people by who they are and not the color of their skin."

Franco said it did trouble him, however, that no adults or officials tried to stop the behavior during the match.

"We're sorry this happened," Archer City ISD Superintendent C.D. Knobloch told the Star-Telegram. "The whole community is torn up about it."

Knobloch did not say what disciplinary action the students faced or how many students were involved, but did call the comments "unacceptable," the Times Record News reported.

Archer City is about 26 miles south of Wichita Falls, and Fort Hancock is located about 57 southeast of El Paso along the border with Mexico.

Of the 440 students enrolled in the Fort Hancock school district in 2015, about 98 percent were Hispanic. In Archer City ISD, about 86 percent of the district's 482 students were white, according to Texas Education Administration data.

The Archer City Lady Cats beat the Fort Hancock Lady Mustangs 3-0 to advance to the state semifinals Wednesday night in Austin.

A similar incident earlier this fall was widely criticized as racist after Colleyville Heritage High students held Trump-themed signs, including one of the proposed border wall, at a football game against Trinity High in Euless.

Colleyville Heritage is a predominantly white school where about 13 percent of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Nearly half the students at Trinity are considered economically disadvantaged.

Colleyville administrators later apologized for the banner, which was part of a pep rally themed "Make Colleyville Great Again."
