Associated PressThe Ohio high school football playoffs begin tonight. But the playoff picture has been complicated by a court ruling Thursday in Cleveland that shuffled the teams involved. Friday will likely see a number of court rulings as schools try to keep their original berths or those that developed as a result of the court ruling. Watch the updates below as they come in.
12:30 p.m The OHSAA says it is prepared to postpone playoff games due to the court proceedings taking place. The Division IV, Region 13 playoff game is scheduled for tonight. (This is the game that will involve either Edgewood or Beachwood depending on the court outcome.) The OHSAA says if there is no decision by mid-afternoon if will postpone the game. The OHSAA says a postponement is possible as well in the Division I, Region 1 playoff game that will put either Mayfield or Cleveland Heights up against St. Edward depending on court outcomes.
11:30 a.m.: Mayfield Schools go to court asking that Judge McMonagle's TRO against the OHSAA be rescinded. Mayfield was knocked out as the 8th seed in Division I regional playoffs as a direct result of the ruling. Cleveland Heights was put into that spot as a result.
November 1: Ashtabula Edgewood (Division IV) one of the team's knocked out by Judge McMonagle's ruling won a temporary restraining order late Thursday night putting them back in the playoffs. Edgewood or Beachwood (the team put into the playoffs by the McMonagle's initial ruling) will be the 8th seed and play top-seed Brookfield depending on how the court's rule.
Background: Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Richard McMonagle on November 1 issued a temporary restraining order against the Ohio High School Athletic Association. The ruling came as a result of an action filed by Cleveland Heights. The district claimed that as a result of a forfeit earlier in the season by JFK, Cleveland Heights should have been named to a playoff spot. The judge agreed. The OHSAA, however, has said it did not recognize the forfeit and did not take it into account in making playoff selections.
