Following Texas high school football player Emmanual Duron's attack on a referee during a recent game, the University Interscholastic League executive committee voted to levy additional penalties on Edinburg High School, head football coach J.J. Leija and Duron.
On Monday, the five-person executive committee suspended Duron from all league-sanctioned activities for the remainder of the 2020-21 academic year, according to The Monitor of McAllen.
Duron, a senior defensive lineman, charged the field and slammed referee Fred Garcia to the ground shortly after Garcia ejected Duron for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Edinburg police officers escorted Duron out of the stadium, and he was charged with Class A assault the following day.
