Court order puts Glenville back in Ohio football playoffs, but another twist follows
The Ohio High School Athletic Association announced that Glenville's (OH) football team had been removed from postseason eligibility this year on Thursday, Oct. 29. Two days later, that decision was overturned, for the moment, by a court order. The OHSAA released a statement late Friday night saying that a court order had been granted, giving the program a temporary restraining order and allowing them to play despite the original decision from the association. ”Following the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s removal of Cleveland Glenville from the football playoffs on Thursday (Oct. 29), the OHSAA is aware of the court order issued today (Friday, Oct. 30) requiring the playing of the football playoff game between Glenville and University School,” the statement reads. “The OHSAA stands by its ruling issued on Thursday (Oct. 29). However, the OHSAA will comply with the court order and is working with the two schools to reschedule the game sometime this weekend. ...A hearing is scheduled for Monday. To clarify information presented this afternoon, the OHSAA first requested student residential information from Cleveland Metropolitan School District on September 28. The OHSAA received an initial batch of information from CMSD on Oct. 22. On Thursday (Oct. 29) in

Akron Buchtel Community Learning Center. (Akron Public Schools) AKRON, Ohio — Bryan Williams, who serves as the head football coach and athletic director for Akron Buchtel CLC, has been placed on administrative leave, according to Akron Public Schools. Statement from Akron Public Schools Assistant Director of Marketing and Communications Joanne Issacc: “As this is a personnel matter, the District will not comment further on the circumstances or details.” That’s the official line. What we do know is that Tahj Dent has stepped in as interim head coach, a role he’ll continue in “pending further notice.” The District wants to ensure “continuity for our student-athletes and football program,” said Joanne Isacc, APS, Assistant Director of Marketing and Communications. Williams did not coach in an October 17 game against Akron Garfield CLC or an October 24 game against Akron East CLC, which was their final regular-season game and was mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. What happened? According to recent reports, Akron Public Schools self-reported to the Ohio High School Athletic Association that it had academically ineligible players [no exact number of players] playing before the Akron Garfield game, which also implicated Akron North in the same situation. Because of the self-reported violations,

(Photo: Chuck Cordes/Ohsfbemdia.com) CANAL FULTON, Ohio — The Northwest Indians advance to the second round of the OHSAA playoffs after they defeat Cleveland Central Catholic 36-16. They focused on a powerful ground attack with Conner Stephenson and Jakob Garber, consuming a lot of time early in the game to gain dominance. Combined, they ran for over 300 yards. "We've been that way all year," said Coach DeMarco, speaking on his team's strong running game. "And we wanted to ride 44 and 32, and we started with that in week one." They were so effective at controlling the clock, spending more than eight minutes in the second quarter to take the lead, and in another possession they controlled it for over six minutes. Cleveland Central Catholic could not get any offense going throughout the game, settling for punts and giveaways from a solid defense by the Indians that got two interceptions from Sanad Abueteen early and late in the game. "It's probably the game plan going forward," said Stephenson as he talked about the success of the
