Alleged racist remarks at basketball game to be investigated
LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood and Mukilteo school districts have hired a third-party investigator to look into allegations of discriminatory comments aimed at Black players during a varsity girls basketball game May 20 at Lakewood High School, officials from both districts said Thursday.
The Lakewood School District received a complaint from a Mariner High School girls basketball player about racist comments from the Lakewood crowd, according to Lakewood Superintendent Scott Peacock.
Mariner girls basketball coach Reggie Davis removed his team from the court with about four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of a game that Lakewood was leading 38-35.
The game was live-streamed on YouTube, but the broadcast cuts off with 6 minutes, 38 seconds left in the contest.
