School officials in Medway, Mass., say they are investigating a racist incident that occurred following a high school girls basketball game against Wellesley on Friday night.

School officials in Medway, Massachusetts, say they are investigating a racist incident that occurred following a high school girls basketball game against Wellesley on Friday night.

Medway Superintendent Armand Pires and High School Principal John Murray said they launched an internal investigation as soon as they received the report and have been in contact with their counterparts at the Wellesley Public School. They also said they contacted Medway police and reported the matter to the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association.

“We work to create an atmosphere where all students – whether they attend Medway High School or are visiting our school – feel safe, supported and welcomed," Medway schools said in their statement."This type of behavior is unacceptable and has no place in our schools, at school events or in our community.”

"Following an away game, one of the members of a Wellesley High School team was the target of a racist incident instigated by two students from Medway High School, which was hosting the game," the letter said.
