Anchorage police and school officials are investigating an incident of sexual abuse involving members of Dimond High School’s football team, which reportedly occurred during a weekend trip to Fairbanks.

The team did not practice for a second straight day Tuesday. Instead, parents and players met exclusively with administrators during a closed-door meeting at the school. Anchorage police are investigating the incident that reportedly happened Saturday in Fairbanks, where Dimond played Lathrop High School.

Neither APD nor ASD officials provided details about the incident Tuesday, but a man who emerged from the meeting said it occurred in Fairbanks, as Dimond’s varsity and junior varsity teams visited for a Saturday game.

1. My older brother attended Dimond HS way back in the early 70s

Dad was the Army IG for the state back then. I was still in grade school but I remember going to a game or two.
