Edinburg PD officers who escorted Duron from the stadium: “No comment, we’re not at liberty to talk about that.”

The referee was evaluated for a possible concussion:
I’m told the referee is being evaluated for a concussion
Game will go on with a replacement ref potentially on the way
Otherwise they’ll play on with one less official
I’m told Duron has left the premises and won’t return tonight #RGVFootball #txhsfb
