Supreme Court Of Appeals Considering South Charleston Football Case
WEST VIRGINIA....
The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals took no immrdiate action Monday as it began weighing the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission's appeal of Kanawha Circuit Judge Carrie Webster's November 30th ruling to nullify the Commission's suspensions of four South Charleston High football players. The athletes were involved in an end-of-game brawl during the school's November 19th Class AAA quarterfinal game against Hurricane High School. Ben Salango, attorney for four of the South Charleston players, contended game officials did not follow proper protocol in suspending his clients, and, after hearing arguments, Webster agreed. The Supreme Court has three basic options for ruling on the case: justices could decline to rule on the matter and let Webster's decision stand, they could make a decision based on the written arguments or call attorneys in for argument before the court.
