Disgusting moment at a high school football game in Texas — where a top player violently exploded on a referee AFTER he had already been ejected … and the whole thing was caught on video.
It all went down Thursday night right after Edinbugh High defensive end Emmanual Duron was ejected from the game following a late hit penalty against an opposing player in the 2nd quarter.
After the ref announced Duron was disqualified from the game, Duron — wearing #88 — sprints back on the field and blasts the ref with a full speed blindside tackle, sending the official crashing to the ground.
Multiple Edinbugh High coaches and players had raced out to try and stop Duron’s attack, but they were too late.
The ref was in obvious pain — and remained on the ground for several minutes. He was later evaluated in an ambulance, according to The Monitor’s Andrew McCulloch, who was reporting at the game.

Several police officers escorted Duron off the field — but it’s unclear if he was formally arrested and booked for a crime.
We’re reached out to cops and the school district for information — we’ll let you know when we hear back.
Duron is junior defensive tackle and all around top athlete. He’s scored a rushing TD as a running back and also kicked a 51-yard field goal earlier this season.
He’s also a high school wrestling star, whose coach had said to reporters back in March that he’s among the best in the state and a clear favorite to win a state title.
