During a baseball game between Waverly-Shell Rock High and Charles City High School on June 29th, 2020, individuals from Waverly-Shell Rock High were heard insulting an African-American teenager on the opposing team with overtly and unapologetic racist taunts. Some of these comments are quoted as such: "You should have been George Floyd" and "Get back to the fields." Upon reproach for their behavior by the player, the Waverly-Shell Rock High participants began chanting "TRUMP 2020" in response. At the time of this posting, no disciplinary action has been made available regarding the individuals involved.
In an interview with KWAY Radio uploaded on July 3, 2020, Waverly-Shell Rock High baseball coach Casey Klunder continued to perpetuate these racist acts stating "That's been the most disappointing thing through this process - to have our players in uniform called racists and things of that nature...", indicating that the effect of being called out for being part of a racist community is somehow more disappointing to him than the actual racism suffered by the Charles City High School Player
