The discovery of racist and homophobic messages in the visitors locker room at a high school football game at Montrose High School has left parties connected to two schools leveling veiled accusations against one another. The incident, which occurred at a Class 4A state playoff game between Mesa Ridge and Montrose last Saturday, came to light the next day when Mesa Ridge coach Jerimi Calip shared images of the messages with media. That prompted an investigation by Montrose County School District that included a review of 24 hours of surveillance footage and concluded that the district had “significant doubts that this was in any way targeted against Mesa Ridge.” Calip told The Denver Post that players and staff discovered the messages before the game began.
