CONNELL, Wash. (AP) — The South Central Athletic Conference in Washington state has issued penalties after a racist incident during a high school basketball game between the Connell girl’s team and Zillah.
During the recent game Connell fans were seen and heard making monkey sounds and gestures at Black players from Zillah High School.
The conference on Thursday announced that the Connell boys and girls basketball teams will end their seasons on June 5, and neither team will be allowed to play in the post-season. The league wrestling championship that was to be held at Connell has been moved to Wapato.
Connell fans, parents and students will no longer be allowed at any SCAC athletic event until June 12.
