Circuit Court Judge Arthur Recht, presiding in Ohio County Tuesday, granted an injunction filed by Brooke County schools to postpone the Class AAA Super Six Championship game, scheduled for this Saturday.

Charleston area Judge Carrie Webster upheld a previous temporary restraining order issued against the West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission that allows for four suspended South Charleston players to play in upcoming games.

Webster spent Tuesday reviewing information that was presented before her in court on Monday regarding South Charleston High School football players who played against the Brooke Bruins last weekend.

Recht’s ruling addressed two main concerns by Brooke County Schools: that the WVSSAC should not be allowed to hold the Class AAA game this Saturday because issues surrounding who should play in the championship game still haven’t been resolved. The second ruling that judge made in Brooke’s favor is that the WVSSAC is not able to cancel the game, only postpone it to a later date.

More than a week ago, the four South Charleston players were involved in a brawl during their Class AAA state quarterfinal against Hurricane High School. After the brawl, the West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission suspended the players.

But days later, a Webster issued a temporary restraining order against the WVSSAC, allowing four of the suspended players to suit up for Saturday's state semifinal against Brooke.

NEWS9’s Maggie Ruper reports from Charleston the judge’s ruling on Tuesday cited inefficiencies in the way the referees handled the situation. The suspension for most of the players weren’t issued until more than 24 hours after the brawl.

The judge’s decision on Tuesday does not put the power back in the hands of the WVSSAC, which may have forced South Charleston to forfeit their win over Brooke, putting Brooke back in the playoffs this weekend.

But the court battle is not over.

A decision was made by the WVSSAC on Tuesday that allowed for the Brooke Bruins to return to the practice field in preparation for a possible game.
