Emmanuel Duron Incident

In December 2020, the school received national attention after Emmanuel Duron, a defensive lineman on the football team who had been named District 31-6A defensive player of the year in 2019,[10] attacked referee Fred Garcia during the first half of the zone play-in playoff game against Pharr-San Juan-Alamo High School. Duron was ejected from the game for two unsportsmanlike penalties when he attacked Garcia and left him with a concussion; he was escorted off the field and out of the stadium by police[11] and was charged with Class A assault and was released from county jail after posting a $10,000 bail.[12] Edinburg would win the game 35–21, but was disqualified from the playoffs the following day due to Duron's actions.[13] The Edinburg High School athletic program was also placed on probation for two years through the 2022-23 season.
