Duron is as high school senior . He is both a wrestler and a standout
football defensive lineman at Edinburg (Texas) High School, or at least he was.
A week or so ago he caught a penalty for unnecessary roughness. He was
then thrown out of the game for giving the referee a bad time about
it. He was then arrested for assault because he thought it would be a
really good idea to run down the referee (from behind) and slam him into
the turf.
He is now
disqualified from all athletic activities at the school for the rest of
the year. Both the school and his coach are on probation for all of
next year. Duron is facing charges of assault causing bodily injury.
The ref ended up with a concussion and a banged-up shoulder and had to
leave the game. Even though the team qualified for the playoffs the
principle withdrew them from consideration.
The
young man does seem genuinely sorry about it. Whether he was sorry he
DID it or is merely sorry he and the school are being punished is an
unknown at this time. I do hope the young man can get his head on
straight.

I saw the blind side hit on Youtube. That kid needs to be arrested.
He was.
