SEATTLE — The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) executive board has approved a "fact-finder" to investigate allegations of recruiting by a Seattle high school's football program.
Roosevelt High School's football team has been accused of recruiting by other WIAA member schools, the organization said in a release Friday.
Seattle Public Schools, the district overseeing Roosevelt, told KING 5 that the school conducted its own internal investigation into the allegations, which was "reviewed and approved by the Metro League," and found no rule violations. The Metro League is made up of 18 high schools, most of which are within Seattle city limits.
"After review of the action taken by the Metro League, WIAA District 2, and the District Directors regarding the alleged violations, the WIAA Executive Board agreed that there isn’t enough information available through previous reviews of action to determine if the alleged violations are true or false," the WIAA release states.
Roosevelt's football team is 3-1 this season and is scheduled to play at Garfield High School on Friday night.
