Massillon football players get restraining order before eligibility ruling

Six Massillon football players, caught in Ohio High School Athletic Association eligibility limbo after transfers, received a restraining order so they can play in tonight’s game. Families filed a joint complaint on Sept. 25 in Stark County Common Pleas Court against the OHSAA seeking a temporary restraining order to prevent the association from declaring them ineligible. Judge Frank Forchione granted it, and a preliminary injunction hearing is set for 8:30 a.m. Oct. 6. An OHSAA spokesman was not immediately available for comment. The article notes multiple first-year Tigers, including Brayton and Brydon Feister, Gary Yeager, Micah Walker, Da’Shun Williams, and Dey’Veair Adams, with families saying they moved for bona fide reasons. The Tigers host Football North from Ontario, Canada, in Week 6.
