Sealth High School Athletic Director Sam Reed has been in the process of coordinating the upcoming Nels Enquist Alumni Basketball game coming up Nov. 23. Here's our previous coverage.
Reed noted that the game roster filled up fast and shared the event details in an update:
"The responses came in so quick that the men’s game filled up quite early and registration has been closed since early this week. I’ve worked with Nels and the current coaches to develop a group of teams that will lend itself to a fun and competitive game and highlight some of the great basketball history here at Chief Sealth.
On the women’s side, the response has also been strong, but our current head coach Katie Jo Maris (’01) is still working on collecting a few more names (those interested can e-mail her directly at kevkat8@yahoo.com) and evening out the teams. We hope to announce the women’s roster early next week.
I am excited to announce the details of what I hope will become an annual tradition – the Nels Enquist Alumni Basketball Game! The game will take place next Friday, November 23rd and will bring back many Sealth alumni that some of you may remember from your classes or in the halls.

Admission to the games will cost just $2 (cash only at the door) and all proceeds from the tickets will go toward Chief Sealth Athletics alumni projects, the first of which is the dedication of the gym foyer to Nels Enquist, former Chief Sealth student, teacher, administrator and coach for over 40 years.
