State Supreme Court rules on 6A high school football
MONTGOMERY, AL (WAFF) - The Alabama Supreme Court has ruled three Alabama county judge's rulings null and void.
It started with a ruling from the AHSAA that negated all 9 wins by the Clay Chalkville football team due to ineligible player, eliminating the team from playoff contention.
After the AHSAA ruling, a Jefferson County judge issued an injunction, making the team eligible.
That prompted Morgan and Etowah county judges to issue their own rulings. High School teams in their counties were pushed further down the playoff ladder when Clay Chalkville was once again in the playoffs.
The Alabama High School Athletic Association filed a motion getting the State Supreme Court involved to clear things up before Friday's games.

In the ruling the Supreme Court backed the original AHSAA ruling, saying that the association should be able to rule in it's own cases.
