Although Bellevue has historically been known for its excellent football program, the boys swim team has gone under the radar.

Legion of Boom vs. Dark Side: Which Seahawks defense reigns supreme?
Listen up Bellevue! This is a big controversy that needs to be discussed. Is the Seahawks defense this year better than their 2013 Super Bowl winning defense? “Nothing will ever be as good as the Legion of Boom. The Seahawks D this year is really good, but Richard Sherman was the goat, the greatest of all time,” senior Myles Dochtermann said. In 2013, the Seahawks defense led their team to a Super Bowl win, earning the nickname “Legion of Boom.” The LOB consisted of some o
