The South Central Athletic Conference in Washington handed down sanctions Wednesday for Connell High School stemming from allegations of racist remarks directed toward Zillah High School girls' basketball players of color during a game Saturday.

As reported by the Yakima Herald-Republic, SCAC president and Naches Valley athletic director Ty Kime said he and his fellow ADs decided by majority vote to ban Connell’s boys' and girls' basketball teams from competing in the league’s postseason, scheduled for June 8, 10 and 12. In addition, no Connell fans will be allowed to attend home or away competitions for the remainder of the school year.
