Ruling Stands: No Football Replay

OSSAA

An Oklahoma County judge denies a request by an Oklahoma City school to have part or all of a high school football playoff game replayed.

Judge Bernard Jones issued the ruling this morning.

It all started during a state quarterfinal on Nov. 28, when an improperly enforced penalty erased a touchdown that would have put Douglass ahead of Locust Grove with 64 seconds left. Locust Grove held on to win 20-19, and Douglass appealed to the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association.

The association's staff declined the appeal, then its board rejected the replay options, prompting Douglass to go to court.
