According to the Denver Post, Denver police are investigating an incident involving East High School cheerleaders and their coach during cheer camp.

Denver Public Schools superintendent Tom Boasberg said five school officials were placed on administrative leave after he was made aware of videos.

A video shows East cheerleader and freshman Ally Wakefield forced into a split by her coach Ozell Williams while screaming in pain and repeatedly asking him to “please stop.”

Englewood cheer coach Ginger Rode says she was shocked when she first heard about it. She was even more appalled when she saw the video saying she couldn’t watch the whole thing. It made her sick to her stomach over it.

She says she spoke to the EHS team about their feelings/thoughts over the video and then they talked about how she never even make them do the splits ever. We have more of this interview and we spoke to EHS cheerleaders. You can read it in the Pirateer or on the pirateer dot com beginning next Monday.

(XXX)Students here in Englewood were able to see 92-percent totality when the Lunar eclipse happened this past Monday.

Everyone had a chance to go out to Pirate Stadium, put on cool glasses and look up at the event unfolding in the sky. Most students had a lot of fun. A lot of students were disappointed expecting something better. It’s not clear students knew exactly what to expect. Students here saw a change in the light, but didn’t experience darkness.

Science teachers were very excited to share this with the students.
