High School FootballWednesday, November 4
A judge put Glenville back in the football playoffs, and OHSAA plans to appeal
The 5AM Cleveland team
If you follow Glenville or Salem football, Friday's game is still in doubt. Judge Andrew Santoli ordered the Tarblooders reinstated Tuesday. He ruled OHSAA acted arbitrarily by removing them before finishing its investigation into the eligibility of 10 players.
OHSAA said it will challenge the order in appellate court in Cleveland Wednesday morning, and that it will release Salem's opponent Wednesday. The judge told it to reschedule the Glenville-University School game, declare University School forfeited and send Glenville to Salem, or find another appropriate remedy.
