An 8th-grade Colorado Jewish student was called a ‘stupid k***’ while being strangled by a laptop charging cord, in one of many antisemitic assaults by other students described in a Title VI complaint to Boulder Valley Public School District.

It’s been a back and forth game here in this 3A state title game.
The Wizards have the ball around midfield heading into the final period. One quarter to decide a champion here in Fort Collins!
— Chris Abshire
All the momentum was swinging Windsor’s way, but the Pomona defense made a big stand deep into this 3rd quarter.
The Wizards got down to the Windsor 24-yard line but got stuffed on three straight runs before Rome Garcia’s free-run sack on 4th down.
Windsor 14, Pomona 14; late 3rd quarter
— Chris Abshire
No time wasted getting this game tied up again, as Windsor gets the big kick return and needs only six plays to score a touchdown.
Mason Moore hit Keaton Villavicencio on a nice rollout pass for the 12-yard TD strike.
Windsor 14, Pomona 14; early 3rd quarter
— Chris Abshire
The Wizards are in business right away in this second half, getting a 50-yard kickoff return inside the Pomona 40 from Cam Johnson.
An early momentum swing out of the locker room in this 3A title game.
Pomona 14, Windsor 7; early 3rd quarter
— Chris Abshire
The Panthers have really swung this game in their favor.
After a defensive stand near midfield forced a punt, Pomona goes 80 yards in 2 minutes for a touchdown, which came via some trickeration.
Luis Santana (not the starting QB) rolled out right and hit Tucker Ingersoll (the starter) deep down the right sideline. Ingersoll slightly bobbled it but collected the ball and sprinted into the end zone for a 49-yard TD.
Pomona 14, Windsor 7; late 2nd quarter
— Chris Abshire
What an impressive bounceback possession for the Panthers.
They take nearly 6 minutes off the clock with a 15 play, 64 yard drive, taking advantage of a key facemask penalty to score on Emmitt Munson’s 1-yard touchdown run.
We’re all tied up in this 3A championship clash.
Windsor 7, Pomona 7; mid 2nd quarter
— Chris Abshire
The Wizards are first on the board here in this 3A title game!
James Beets forced a big 3rd down fumble and it was scooped up at the Pomona 21-yard line. Mason Moore scored four plays later on quarterback sneak to take the early lead.
Windsor 7, Pomona 0; END 1st quarter
— Chris Abshire
The Wizards had a promising drive going, getting three first downs and nearly reaching the red zone.
However, a penalty halted the momentum and Mason Moore’s 3rd down rollout pass was picked off by Jaydon Molina in the end zone.
Windsor 0, Pomona 0; mid 1st quarter
— Chris Abshire
Pomona started at its own 6-yard-line after some mishaps fielding the opening kickoff.
While they got out of the shadow of their endzone with a first down, the Windsor defense held up with two straight run stops.
A nice punt puts Windsor at its own 29 for the Wizards first possession.
Windsor 0, Pomona 0; early 1st quarter
— Chris Abshire
Pomona will get the ball first after Windsor won the opening coin toss and deferred until the second half.
We’ll see the Panthers’ physical offense first against the strong Wizards’ defense.
— Chris Abshire
My track record has been pretty good this season with a 72-10 record to date. What’s three more picks to end the season?
Can Windsor win a ‘home’ state title? Will Cherry Creek’s dynasty continue?
— Chris Abshire
It’s a nice round number and a title anniversary for the Wizards.
Windsor is playing for the school’s fifth football state title and first since a 2015 Class 4A championship.
That Wizards squad went 13-1, avenged its only loss in the postseason and won an all-NoCo final 35-14 over Loveland down at Mile High Stadium.
— Chris Abshire
It’s a momentous week for Windsor 4-star lineman Deacon Schmitt.
The senior officially signed with Oklahoma on Dec. 3 during the early national signing period and now he’s playing a de-facto home game for the state championship.
“CSU is about 20 minutes from my house and they were my first offer. It’s awesome to play here, never played in a stadium like this before,” Schmitt said.
— Chris Abshire
Here’s the schedule for the 3A, 4A and 5A state championship games on Dec. 6:
- Class 3A: No. 1 Windsor vs. No. 2 Pomona (10 a.m.)
- Class 4A: No. 1 Dakota Ridge vs. No. 3 Palmer Ridge (1:30 p.m.)
- Class 5A: No. 1 Cherry Creek vs. No. 2 Ralston Valley (5 p.m.)
— Chris Abshire
A Wizards’ star will head into state championship action as the Blue Federal Credit Union Fort Collins-area Football Player of the Week.
Windsor running back Adrian Czyszczon ran for nearly 250 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score late in a 21-14 quarterfinal win over No. 5 Holy Family last week.

Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders has an overall record of 16-21 since taking over in Boulder prior to the 2023 season.
Where does Coach Prime rank among Big 12 coaches entering the 2026 college football season?
Deion Sanders No.15 in Big 12 Coach Rankings
On3 ranked all 16 Big 12 head football coaches heading into 2026. Deion Sanders is ranked No.15, only ahead of Kansas State Wildcats coach Collin Klein. This will be Klein’s first year as Wildcats head coach. He is a former Kansas State quarterback was most recently the offensive coordinator for the Texas A&M Aggies.
A top this ranking at No. 1 is BYU Cougars coach Kalani Sitake. Sitake has been at the helm for the Cougars since 2016. He has accumulated an overall record of 84-45. In four of Sitake’s 10 seasons with BYU, he has led them to double digit wins.
Here is the entire ranking:
1. Kalani Sitake, BYU Cougars
2. Kenny Dillingham, Arizona State Wildcats
3. Joey McGuire, Texas Tech Red Raiders
4. Sonny Dykes, TCU Horned Frogs
5. Willie Fritz, Houston Cougars
6. Lance Leipold, Kansas Jayhawks
7. Rich Rodriguez, West Virginia Mountaineers
8. Eric Morris, Oklahoma State Cowboys
9. Brent Brennan, Arizona Wildcats
10. Dave Aranda, Baylor Bears
11. Scott Satterfield, Cincinatti Bearcats
12. Morgan Scalley, Utah Utes
13. Scott Frost, UCF Knights
14. Jimmy Rogers, Iowa State Cyclones
15. Deion Sanders, Colorado Buffaloes
16. Collin Klein, Kansas State Wildcats
Is 15th a fair ranking for Coach Prime?
What stands out right away from this is a first time collegiate head coach is ahead of Sanders, Morgan Scalley. While Sanders’ team struggled in 2025, it would be hard to rank him behind Scalley.
When Sanders was hired, the Buffaloes were coming off a one-win 2022 season. It was a controversial hire, as Sanders’ collegiate coaching experience came at the FCS level with Jackson State. The Coach Prime era in Boulder got off to a great start.
In 2023, Colorado began the season 3-0. It got going with a stunning season opening upset on the road against the defending national runner-up TCU Horned Frogs. The Buffs won their next two games against the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Colorado State Rams to get to 3-0.
They hosted ESPN’s College GameDay for their in-state rivalry game against Colorado State. The country had their eyes on what Sanders had cooking. This undefeated came to a screeching halt with a road loss to Oregon. Colorado ended up losing eight of their final nine games to end with a record of 4-8. While the end was dissapoitning, it was still three more wins than the previous season.
2024 a major turnaround. The Buffs went 9-3 and made the Alamo Bowl. Buffs’ wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter won the 2024 Heisman Trophy and quarterback Shedeur Sanders was named 2024 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.
2025 was more of what 2023 was. The Buffs went 3-9, missing a bowl game for the second time in three seasons. Will they get back to a bowl in 2026?

The ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) has filed a federal civil rights complaint with the US Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, alleging that Jewish Student A was subjected to repeated antisemitic bullying, slurs, and physical assault by multiple fellow students at Southern Hills Middle School (SHMS) throughout 7th and 8th grade.
In one incident, students in Student A’s PE class attempted to play a game called “Jew touch tag” and said Jews were “dirty” and “contaminated.”
In another, in December 2025, a classmate reportedly fashioned a Chromebook charging cord into a lasso, threw it around the student’s neck and dragged him backward from a chair while calling him a “stupid k***.” This was deemed severe enough that the Boulder Police Department was called in to investigate.
Following this particular incident, the Boulder Police Department opened a Juvenile Court Referral for third-degree assault.
ADL says no meaningful action taken by school district over assault
As a result of these incidents, Student A no longer wears a Star of David necklace and does not share his religious identity with anyone.
ADL and the family allege that the school took no meaningful action despite being informed of the situation on multiple occasions. For example, the complaint says the school failed to enforce the no-contact order between Student A and the classmate involved in the Chromebook assault.
The complaint also says that the burden was consistently placed on the victim, such as reassigning his study hall class rather than restricting the aggressor, forcing him to miss a school trip, and asking him to leave class early to avoid crowded hallways.
“The record here is overwhelming: written pleas from the student’s parents, formal school reports, and a police investigation all point to the conclusion that antisemitic harassment at Southern Hills Middle School was pervasive, escalating, and severe,” said James Pasch, ADL Vice President of Litigation.
“Despite the family’s pleas for help to stop the harassment, the school district failed to effectively address it, a clear violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. No family should have to fight this hard to ensure a Jewish child’s safety at school, and certainly no Jewish student should face the threat of assault or harassment because of their Jewish identity.”
Susan Rona, ADL Mountain States Regional Director, noted that 167 antisemitic incidents were recorded in Colorado in 2025, a “stark reminder that antisemitism is not something abstract – it is showing up in our communities, in our neighborhoods and even in our schools.”
ADL is requesting that the US Department of Education require the district to take steps to comply with Title VI and ensure that this student and all Jewish students feel safe and protected.
Boulder Valley School District said that while it does not comment on ongoing legal matters, “we take all allegations of discrimination and harassment seriously.”
“We continue to focus on improvements to our policies, reporting systems, practices, and education efforts – all with the goal of ensuring every BVSD student feels safe, welcomed, and a strong sense of belonging.”
When you walk inside the Conoco station at the corner of University Boulevard and Bonnie Brae Boulevard in Denver, you can’t help but notice the history on the walls.
“Here’s the 40s. The 50s and my dad and uncle in the 70s,” says owner Ken Wilson pointing to the pictures on the wall.
Ken is the third generation of the Wilson family to own the gas station and service center.
“Grandpa Ken started to lease this out in 1942. My dad bought the business from my grandpa and my uncle worked his whole career here for my dad and for me,” Ken recalls.
In all, the Wilson family has owned the Conoco station for more than 80 years.
“I started working here in 1978 when I was 12, just part time in the summers. I worked through high school and through college and then did my own thing, and I’ve been back here about 15 years,” said Ken.
“It means so much to our family. It’s been a great business.”
But Ken is the end of the road for the Wilson family ownership. In February, a for sale sign went up at the Bonnie Brae Conoco.
“We’re just looking now. We’re not in a rush. It’s not like we’re going to sell and be done this year. We’re going to get a price we want to get, and if it takes us years to do that’s okay,” he said.
Wilson has seen a lot of change during his time working at the station and service center.
“There aren’t a lot of garages anymore. They used to be everywhere. There were four of them on this block when I was a kid, he said.
When asked what he’ll miss most, Ken points to his relationship with his customers.
“I’ve had customers now where I actually waited on their grandparents. And then their parents. And now them.”
As for what his grandpa would say if he could see the place now, Ken says, “I think he’d say he was really proud of what we’ve done. Both my father, my uncle and myself. Hopefully he’s still hanging around here once in a while.”
