Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, October 8, 2026 — Air Academy High School has forfeited its scheduled homecoming football game against Lutheran High School. The Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) is currently addressing the situation.
The decision by Air Academy High School to forfeit the game follows allegations of racial remarks made by students from Lutheran High School. These alleged remarks reportedly occurred during previous games involving other schools, specifically Rampart High School and Sand Creek High School.
The Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA), the governing body for high school sports in Colorado, has confirmed it is investigating the allegations of racial remarks. The outcome of this investigation by CHSAA could potentially impact further actions or decisions related to the involved schools.
Details regarding the specific nature of the alleged racial remarks, the exact dates of the previous games where they are said to have occurred, and the specific actions Lutheran High School students are accused of have not been fully disclosed. Similarly, the precise timeline for CHSAA’s investigation and the potential consequences for any confirmed violations are also pending.
The forfeit means Air Academy High School will not play its homecoming game as scheduled against Lutheran High School. This development adds a layer of seriousness to the ongoing investigation by CHSAA into the reported incidents at prior games.
