Recruiting Scandal
In 2006, the school's girl's basketball team was revoked of their 2004 and 2005 state championship titles, and barred from playing in the 2007 tournament after it had been revealed coaches participated in illegal recruiting. Six Sealth Ladyhawks players had been enticed to transfer to the school with promises of starting positions and college scholarships. Coaches also provided fake leases to show residence within the school district, and in one case, helped a student get a deal on a car to make the commute to Chief Sealth easier.

Famous quotes containing the word scandal:
“A famous theatrical actress
Played best in the role of malefactress.
Yet her home-life was pure
Except, to be sure,
A scandal or two just for practice.”
