A sneak peek at tomorrow's print edition of the Montrose Daily Press ...

In this weekend's print edition of the Montrose Daily Press, you can read about how the Montrose High School Red Hawks are moving forward with a game against Lutheran High School, a team which other schools have boycotted and CHSAA has slapped with probationary status based on allegations of racism; and also about how Montrose Regional Health executed a round of job cuts this week; as well as about the MCSD naming a new VP and seeking to fill its vacant seat following Ted Valerio's resignation.

Also in Saturday's print edition you can read about the Reel Rock film tour, which is coming to the Rotary Amphitheater in Montrose Oct. 24. The film screenings feature athletes and stories in the sport of rock climbing, and the tour is being brought to town through a collaborative effort between the city of Montrose and the MHS climbing team, which begins its season next month. As part of the event, the climbing team will be providing and hosting a climbing wall at the amphitheater.

Have a Good One,

Game On — Montrose will play Lutheran, despite allegations of racism and CHSAA probation; With other teams making a statement by refusing to play the Lions, MHS stays focused on football & the 'Red Hawks Way'

Despite a swirl of racism allegations surrounding next week’s opponent — and other schools’ decisions to snub the team — Montrose High School’s focus is the same as its ever been: football.

“I mean, we're in the middle of a football season and that's our number one focus,” MHS Athletic Director Brad Schafer told the Montrose Daily Press Thursday. “I mean, we have a football game here tomorrow night and that's our number one focus, and as soon as that football game’s done then we have a football game next Friday night for this program and that's our focus. I mean, nothing has changed from when we started back in August.”

While nothing may have changed for Montrose, the situation has certainly evolved for Parker’s Lutheran High School, who the Red Hawks are scheduled to play Friday, Oct. 23. Following multiple allegations of racism at its games, Lutheran is faced with teams refusing to play and a notice from the Colorado High School Activities Association that the school could face suspension of its membership if the situation is not remedied.

On Thursday, CHSAA placed Lutheran on probation for 12 months “after determining that racist and discriminatory language and unacceptable behavior occurred at Lutheran athletic events.”

'Pizza and punk go together like peanut butter and jelly': Pruf has packed show schedule coming up — and new 'stashbox' pizza

When Pruf moved to its new location at 512 E. Main St., this summer one of the first things the team did was host a rock show — specifically, a punk rock show — drawing dozens of listeners decked out in denim, chains and plenty of black.

Now, they’re really finding their rhythm, hosting shows nearly every week. And, they have a packed calendar of punk events coming up, each with a multi-group lineup.

“Every bill that we do we try to get at least three bands, if not four to five,” owner Beau Miller said.
