The referee was evaluated for a concussion at the stadium, according to the Monitor of McAllen.
The game resumed after a slight delay and Edinburg ended up advancing to the playoffs after defeating Pharr-San Juan-Alamo 35-21.
Duron was named the District 31-6A Defensive Player of the year last year and also served as the team’s kicker and punter. He’s also a wrestler.
