Overview
- Attorneys for six Ursuline players filed for a temporary restraining order and injunction in Mahoning County to block OHSAA’s transfer ineligibility and secure waivers.
- Plaintiffs cite OHSAA Bylaw 4-1-1 (administrative error) and Bylaw 4-7-2 (conduct of an adult at the school) to argue some students qualify for immediate eligibility.
- OHSAA’s court filing contends the case should be dismissed because no transfer applications or waiver requests were submitted by new schools and no appeals were pursued.
- The association argues an injunction could displace playing time for students at receiving schools and affect playoff rankings, stressing the need to uphold its bylaws.
- A magistrate heard arguments by telephone Tuesday morning, and a decision on the requested emergency relief is pending.
