Gainesville files injunction, seeking reinstatement of suspended players

Gainesville High School filed an injunction Wednesday morning to attempt to overturn the GHSA’s decision to keep 35 players suspended following the fight between the Red Elephants and Brunswick in the second round of the Class 5A playoffs last week.

The Law firm Pereira, Kirby, Kinsinger & Nguyen will handle the case for Gainesville, who is scheduled to play Langston Hughes in the quarterfinals Friday.

With the Thanksgiving holiday Thursday, and the courts closed Friday, things will have to move fast for anything to be done to keep all of Gainesville’s players on the field. Any comment on the case will be made through the school’s lawyers.
