Friday’s playoff game between Gainesville High School and Langston Hughes High School has been delayed, according to the Gainesville athletic director.
The athletic director provided FOX 5 with an email from the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) stating it is appealing a Hall County judge’s decision that allowed most of the previously suspended Gainesville players to participate in the game.
The ruling came after Gainesville High School requested an injunction blocking GHSA’s suspension of 34 players. GHSA originally suspended 38 players following last week’s brawl with Brunswick before overturning four of those suspensions. Gainesville chose to appeal 30 suspensions and let four stand.
GHSA’s executive director told Gainesville’s athletic director that the game will be rescheduled once a decision is made on the association’s appeal.
FOX 5 has reached out to the GHSA for comment.
