OHSAA Plans to Appeal Judge's Decision Allowing Cleveland Glenville to Remain in State Playoffs
The association says 63 of 64 Glenville players do not attend the school and is appealing a court order that restored playoff eligibility.
- On Tuesday, Nov. 3, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge Andrew J. Santoli reinstated Glenville High School to the Division III, Region 9 playoffs, overturning the Ohio High School Athletic Association's ban.
- Last Thursday, Oct. 29, the OHSAA removed the team, alleging use of ineligible players from Ginn Academy and claiming Cleveland Metropolitan School District failed to verify residency of 10 players.
- Investigations revealed 63 of 64 players on Glenville's roster do not attend the school, yet Santoli ruled the OHSAA acted arbitrarily because its investigation into player eligibility was incomplete.
- The OHSAA announced plans on Wednesday to challenge the court's findings in appellate court while deciding whether to reschedule Glenville's game against University School or declare a forfeit.
- Bylaw 3-1-5 establishes that "EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE" vest with Franklin County, Ohio courts for such challenges, though officials noted the lack of administrative control by Cleveland Metro does not meet standards of the 812 member schools.
