A California High School had its division regional championship revoked by the state’s governing body for high school sports Wednesday following a tortilla throwing incident after the June 19 game.
Coronado High School vacated its boys Division 4-A regional championship and was placed on probation due to “discriminatory and racially insensitive behavior,” after the contest against Escondido’s Orange Glen High School, according to a statement from the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF).
“In this instance, there is no doubt the act of throwing tortillas at a predominately Latino team is unacceptable and warrants sanctions,” according to the CIF.
