Air Academy forfeits homecoming football game
KKTV • • sports
Key Points:
- Air Academy High School has forfeited its upcoming homecoming football game against Lutheran High School due to a shortage of coaching staff, which they say prevents them from safely fielding a varsity team.
- Lutheran High School is currently under investigation following allegations of racist remarks directed at students and supporters from other local schools during recent football games.
- Academy District 20, which oversees Air Academy, is cooperating with the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) in the investigation and has implemented measures to ensure safety and support during scheduled games.
- CHSAA clarified that forfeits are recorded as losses for the team that does not play and wins for the opponent, and decisions to compete rest with member schools.
- Despite the forfeiture, Air Academy plans to continue its homecoming celebrations with a rescheduled flag football game to maintain the traditional experience for students and the community.
