Overview

  • Douglas County investigators determined no criminal case was warranted after the Oct. 3 sideline confrontation during the high school game.
  • The sheriff's office reviewed available video, conducted several interviews, and coordinated with the 23rd Judicial District Attorney's Office and CHSAA.
  • Game officials had ejected a Mountain Vista assistant coach for contacting a Valor Christian player following a hard tackle that triggered shoving between players.
  • Valor Christian head of school Bryan Ritz called the assistant coach's behavior unacceptable and said adults should not put their hands on students.
  • CHSAA suspended Mountain Vista assistant coach Dylan James for one game and placed him on one year of probation, separate from the criminal decision.
