Edinburg High football player who attacked referee charged with assault - Monitor
EDINBURG — The Edinburg High School football player who ran onto the field during a game to hit a referee Thursday night is now facing an assault charge.
After walking off the field with an Edinburg High coach, Duron then ran back onto the field and charged at the 59-year-old referee, blindsiding the official with a hit of such force that it sent Gracia to the turf where he laid for several minutes before gaining the strength to stand and walk away.
