So I did a little research. I like to follow recruiting. I think it’s interesting. Anyway, I couldn’t even find a profile for this kid on ANY major recruiting websites. I’m guessing the school is a smaller school classification in Texas. Because despite being district defensive player of the year, he doesn’t seem to be a prospect at all. Even kids who end up at D2 or D3 will have profiles on these sites. Also found out there was a similar incident with this kid during a soccer game last year. So I don’t think anyone was seriously recruiting this kid before this and they definitely aren’t recruiting him now.
@No La because of his age and how the whole school athletics was punished and the team was forced to give up a playoff spot he will most likely have a lot dropped and get a misdemeanor
Im sorry Pat. If he is a senior in high school. He should know better. He should face the consequences and take whats coming to him. You don't touch the referees. For Christ sakes I learned that in pee wee football.
As a former football player and bouncer he's not bouncer material. Bouncers that crack skulls get clubs shut down. Bouncers have to be able to handle 99 percent of the problems without using your hands.
See, now that’s ridiculous. The only way that makes any sense is if the coach told him to do it or something. Why punish the team for the actions of a rogue player. He acted alone.
@@happytrees4734 Because the whole concept of TEAM SPORTS is THE TEAM lol, anytime you are part of a team the actions of one person affect everyone whether it's baseball, football, or the damn military that's the first thing they teach you. It's so everyone knows that they have to lookout for each other and either win together or suffer together
@@lordlubu3029 Except all leagues that govern team sports routinely hand out penalties and suspensions to individual players on the team. It literally happens every season in every team sport.
I have a feeling for the rest of his life he's going to blame everyone else and not himself for his problems if his life ends up not going how he thought it was going to go.
probably not a felony assault charge assuming he's never assaulted/battered anyone prior to this. It will probably be charged at most as a misdemeanor or disorderly conduct.
They have mentioned that he had a "previous incident during soccer season" but never revealed what it was. I'm betting it was attacking a soccer ref but don't rwally know. Really (big fingers, small keyboard)
@@olds260 your on the field expect it? So when the play is blown dead your just gonna go level a guy you wanna take a cheap shot at? No. See how stupid that sounds?
It’s less about us knowing it’s wrong and more about being able to control ourselves. He may have legitimate aggression or emotional issues that he needs to address. With that being said, that in no way makes in innocent of his actions
@@logan_nowicki absolutely but what was the couching staff doing the years he's been playing? Coaches need to be aware of these things simultaneously as they coach about football.
Well neither is Pat if you’re going to give people an excuse because they’re a teenager there’s adults that are that stupid do we give them a pass as well this dude has built like a truck he should have legal ramifications honestly I’ve seen 15-year-olds in my neighborhood do some really heinous things but these days they’re allowed off the hook because they’re “a kid and they’re not a kid if you do something like this you’re not a kid anymore because a kid doesn’t do this
It wasn't his first time doing this. Reportedly, he did it in a soccer match a year ago. Not a momentary loss of control; it's a way of life for this kid.
i don’t know the whole story behind this but if this is the only reason his team got disqualified i feel like that’s a bad decision because it ruins the season for the rest of his team when they had literally no control over that. yes, he’s part of the team, but most of the seniors are likely never going to get to play football in an organized league again so this was their last chance to play and they lost it because their teammate is an idiot and they had no control over that
@@moistfire8923 the team’s school district decided to pull them out of the playoffs. Feel bad for those guys. The kid is gonna have to deal with that as well as the charges
For sure man. I’ve seen other teammates fight and it’s been fine but you can’t just hurt someone because you don’t like the call even if the refs made a mistake. You’re just a whiny punk who gets mad if you don’t get what you want.
Presuming as a senior he is either on the verge of or 18, he is an adult. There is no defense that he's a teenager or a kid. That was full fledged assault and deserves to be treated as such
I've met plenty of 25-30-ish year olds who still act like dumb-dumbs and want to fight everybody for looking at them, or saying their team sucks, or accidentally bumping into them in a crowd. That's not "underdeveloped", that's "this gene-pool should not have been allowed to breed". Although, if the aliens do show up and start a war, those dumb-dumbs will be the first ones on the frontlines 😂
@@redseaford9426 duck, comment flew right over the top of your head then. Phew close one dude hahaha I’m kidding. And I didn’t know that about the basketball tho, I’ll watch that.
@@juanmeza958 He was already charged. Its his second time getting physical with a ref. Apparently he was suspended for the rest of the soccer season last year for a similar incident.
@@utsb3220 legally not but yeah at 18 its still easily possible to stay mentally childish. And like he cant buy alcohol or smoke legally, so imo, more kid than adult. legally tho none of it matters
“He is a kid....he is not an adult.” Sir he is 18, if he’s old enough to get that arm tattoo, he’s old enough to know the difference between right and wrong. What Duron did was disgusting and there is no defending his actions.
I’m from the rgv tx like that kid but from a different school and district and when I was in school freshmen year to be exact I would be surprised seeing underaged teens having tattoo It came to a point where I seen so many kids with tats it didn’t surprise me anymore
He will ABSOLUTELY be charged, and probably with a felony. All referee organizations, from peewee to pros, have lawyers just WAITING for some moron to do this junk.
This kid is getting his ass beat......he threw the entire season down the drain for the entirer school.......I'm actually impressed with how the league handled the situation.
It sucks because this is the first time they've been in the playoffs in a long ass time and he fucked it all up. All that whining and chanting to the district about letting them play during covid was a waste of time now
@@luisverdin1780 doesn't matter if he's the star similar to Texas football the qb that never wins a state championship......this kid will forever be the kid who got them booted from the playoffs after winning the game......like off the sandlot FORRRREVVVEERRRR
There is no defending this. Parents should have taught them their whole life to control anger. I feel bad about || this much. As a parent to my own teenage sons that are that age. I condone this in no way shape or form.
Plenty of people who play sports don't act like this. They will never get the opportunity this person has. Give his place to someone who deserves it and will cherish it. Better for everyone involved that way.
I'm all for second chances, but he needs to pay some dues first. Kiddo should do 3-6months in jail, and probation afterward for 2 years. As well as pay restitution to this ref. Maybe he can redeem himself walking onto a community college team one day, maybe not. Only he can choose to be a thug or a good man from here on out. He violated something pretty sacred.....don't f*** with the refs.....ever. Watching this clip makes me boiling mad. I do want justice to be served. Having said that I'm proof positive that life can move on in a positive way from stupid choices made in your teen years.
@@sirsaint88 From what other people on here are saying, this is his second time doing it, too. Dude ain't gonna play anywhere besides the backyard with his buddies.
@@BuddyMac69 a typical reply from comrades like you who don’t like the truth. If you need proof, just look at the State Representative from Michigan calling on her antifa and blm soldiers to attack Trumpers. The Dems are helping to pay these degenerates to do nothing but protest, loot and destroy the country. Change my mind.
@@christiancrane5072 by this logic if an NFL Punter of the decade can’t understand the feelings of a high school football player neither could a journalist, or an analyst, or women in the sports world, or business executives in the sports world. Good luck going far in life with that belief. Don’t got the time to educate you so hopefully you do it yourself
@Enzo Cool correct, that is the reason his team was kicked out of playoffs, which for a team game of high school students I feel is slightly unfair,I know it's a team game, but how are a bunch of kids supposed to know this guy planned on doing that? but it was a punishment on the school, the kid should not have been playing at all
All-District isn’t really that high of an honor. Yes, Texas is known for HS football but it’s really top heavy. There’s a lot of crappy districts especially in the Valley.
@@gro_skunk Dude he is a high-school football player. I doubt his family has enough money to just drop 10,000 dollars down. Most Americans can even afford a 500 dollar emergency let alone 10,000.
@@dylanwillis1473 What usually happens is family members go to Bail Bonds-type places and enter a contract with a bondsmen, where the family puts up something like 10% of the bail, the bondsmen puts up the other 90% after they get some sort of collateral from the person entering the contract. As long as the person going to court shows up for court, after the case is closed, the bail bond is dissolved and the collateral is returned to the person, and the bail bondsman keeps the 10% put forward as profit. But still, $1,000 is rough to scrounge up for a lot of people, especially in the current events.
He was charged with Class A felony assault, with a $10,000 security bond. His team won the game, but were booted from the postseason. The referee had a shoulder injury and concussion-like symptoms. He was also released from the soccer team following a similar incident earlier in the year.
I’m from this area and it’s been in the local news. Ref had a concussion, the player was charged with assault, and the school district pulled the team from the play offs. The incident is being investigated by TASO and UIL.
@Fabion Pettigrew disregard my last comment lol. I believe you read it wrong or I phrased in incorrectly. I have heard the news of buddy hitting the ref but I refused to watch it because I knew Pat was going to do a video on it.
Here is an update EDINBURG, Texas (ValleyCentral) - A former Edinburg High School football player has been arrested once again. On Tuesday, Emmanuel Duron, 20, was arrested by the Edinburg Police Department after he was found with cocaine in his vehicle.
Yup I got a assault with bodily injury my senior year so if he takes the plea it'll be a year of probation and community service and a job ain't gonna be to easy to get without lying on the application
being all district in Edinburg is like getting a 2.0, just because its in texas doesnt mean its good, theres a reason this kid doesnt even have a 24/7 page
At least someone understands. Graduating from this school and knowing this guy, doesn't seem like he would have a lot of scholarships. Especially from edinburg. If they do it's mostly d3 colleges which is better than nothing. But yeah he was good but when they say all district doesn't really mean much.
@@luisvillasenor6310 i never spoken to him personally but I heard him talk to my friend he seemed chill. I heard that he can get mad when you talk to his girlfriend which is now his ex. I just know that the guy very talented in three sport soccer, football, and wrestling.
As a fellow hot head in high school in 2010, it’s never even occurred to me to hit the ref. I might call a ref a moron in our Alumni basketball tournament and gotten kicked out but attacking the official is in a different dimension.
@@GV89bitch while that happens, basketball is about control. To be able to defend without fouling. Football is the sport if you don’t have any touch but you’re strong. Basketball is the sport of being strong and delicate at the same time. Football has only 1 player per team who needs finesse.
@@jalanj35 they kicked the team out of the playoffs because this kid did something similar in soccer last year and was banned from that sport. Then the school allows someone that’s known to be an absolute psychopath to put on full pads and play a sport that glorifies aggression (I love football btw but he should’ve been banned from HS athletics completely if this already happened once) putting more refs and players from other schools in danger. It happens again so the school admin and coaches needed to be sent a strong message. Sucks for the other players but it also sucks for the kids that lost their season to COVID too.
I’m from the area that this incident happened in. RGV were a community of various cities. Edinburg is known for conflicts with the referees in any sport. And our community has a major problem with arguing with the referees. It’s disgusting and it’s embarrassing
I don’t buy the “he’s just a kid” if you’re old enough to have tattoos, you’re old enough to know you should never to hit an official. He’s 17-18 years old not 12-13
Most old men at the bar say they would have made it to the NFL if they didn't tear their knee or shoulder. This kid will be 50 one day saying I could have made it to the NFL if I didn't lay that ref out senior year.
That kid was known for his anger issues. It came out that he was kicked off the high school soccer team because he did the same thing last year. High school knew he had anger issues. I blame the kid, his parents and coaching staff because they know of this and didn't focus on fixing that.
even from a small school, being defensive player of the year in the conference will at least drum up some interest from smaller schools, D2 schools and such. Any offer he did have will be gone
Sorry pal theirs only one side to this the ref saids it stands it was very babyish of him if he wants to do that let him pay the price same as you or me
Why isn't anyone bringing up this kids past? He has a history of this type of behavior and also a police record. No one stepped in to try and stop it before which is why it progressed to this level. Even after this incident, the only thing his teammates got out of this was, it's not fair for us even though they allowed it to go on for sometime. He and his team deserves to lose out! In fact, they should be banned for multiple seasons because they don't get it! They are part of the problem. They where enablers for the longest time and should be ashamed of themselves protesting to stay in the playoffs!
