Penalized For Pointing To Heaven

Tumwater High School running back Ronnie Hastie scored a touchdown on a 23-yard run in the second quarter of the team's 63-27 2A state semifinal win over East Valley in Washington on Monday night. After Hastie scored, he dropped to one knee and pointed to the heavens. The referee threw a flag and said it was unsportsmanlike conduct/KHQ. More here.

Question: Was this unsportsmanlike conduct? Or the case of a hypersensitive ref blowing a call?
