Suspended Players Allowed To Play
WEST VIRGINIA....
Kanawha Circuit Judge Carrie Webster granted a temporary order Tuesday allowing four South Charleston High School football players suspended after an on-field brawl to play in Saturday's state Class AAA semifinal against Brooke High School. Webster says, because the courthouse is closed on Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday, there is not enough time to schedule a hearing where the four players, Tyler Harris, Pierria' Henry, Emerson Gagnon and Trevond Reese, and the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission can present their sides of the story. The players were suspended Monday for their alleged involvement in a brawl at the end of Friday's playoff game against Hurricane High School at Laidley Field. Webster's order states that the players "have presented sufficient evidence to demonstrate that they will suffer immediate and irreparable harm" if they have to wait for a hearing before they can play.
