Curious how the Manual principal would benefit by making this up.  Assuming it is NOT true, the only thing I can conjure is that Principal Dawkins was not at the game but was told this by parents and/or coaches.  He really has no reason to make something up like this and go through the trouble of sending a letter to parents (which somebody gave to the Post). Without proof (i.e. a photograph) or even one of the Weld Central High confirming this happened I think it becomes he said-she said and the onus is on Manual High School to prove the flag was raised.  Perhaps much ado about nothing in the end.
