NBC News has reached out to Emmanuel Duron, the school and local police for comment but have not yet heard back.
sunnimommi1974 I grew up in Harlingen just east of Edinburgh and we've played this school. I am amazed that this didn't create a bigger ruckus of some sort. Amazed that the other team actually tried helping protect the ref from further harm from this player.
Kids needs thrown out of school. Period and no arguement. And if they press charges good for him. Enough was the everyone gets a trophy mentality and justifying why this was ok
His football career should be over, and he should be charged with assault.
I posted this story yesterday. No one responded.
Looks like he can't control his temper
By what I just read, this player should not be allowed to participate for the rest of the season.
That was stupid! Probably ended his playing days.
He should never be given a scholarship to play at the next level.
He should be banned from all HS sports and not be allowed to play in college either...assuming he goes. Actions like this require strict consequences!
Wow.
