Edinburg High School (EHS) is a comprehensive public high school in Murillo (formerly Nurillo), a census-designated place in Hidalgo County, Texas, east of Edinburg.
[9] 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.
However, school district officials forfeited the game to Pharr the following day due to Duron's actions.
[13] The UI placed Edinburg's entire athletic program on probation for two years through the 2022-23 season.
