CHARLESTON, W.Va. – High school football playoffs in West Virginia are delayed by at least one week while a court battle intensifies.
A court fight over the West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission (WVSSAC) high school playoffs continues… now with an expedited request for a decision from the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia.
The WVSSAC argues a Wood County judge made a mistake in granting an injunction on Nov. 9 concerning school reclassification. Also, on Nov. 11 the Mason County Circuit Court granted an injunction granted imposing requirements on the WVSSAC concerning game scheduling and which teams could compete in the playoffs. The two orders are conflicting.
The fate of the high school football postseason in West Virginia remains uncertain until the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals renders its decision.
