🚨We obtained the 27-Page court filing from Gainesville. Here are the key points:
𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗿𝗴𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗚𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲
1. 𝙂𝙃𝙎𝘼 𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 & 𝘽𝙮-𝙇𝙖𝙬𝙨
- A player can only be suspended for fighting if they were ejected.
- GHSA suspended players who were never ejected, contradicting its own rules.
- GHSA used a retroactive “judgment call,” which is specifically barred from review or reversal—yet they applied it after the fact.
2. 𝙂𝙃𝙎𝘼 𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙂𝙚𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙖 𝙡𝙖𝙬 𝙤𝙣 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚
- Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 16-3-20 et seq.) recognizes the right to protect oneself or others from unlawful force.
- GHSA’s rules allow no such consideration, and Gainesville argues such rules are void and unenforceable.
- GHSA created an arbitrary and capricious punishment
- GHSA suspended 34–39 players, causing Gainesville to lose nearly its entire roster for the next playoff game.
- This exceeds GHSA’s authority and violates fairness and due process.
𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
𝗚𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀:
- Without an injunction, they cannot safely or competitively field a team for the Quarterfinals (Nov. 28, 2025).
- The harm is irreparable, affecting seniors who may never play again.
- GHSA’s enforcement serves no public interest, while protecting self-defense does.
- The balance of harms strongly favors Gainesville.
𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗼:
- Temporarily restrain GHSA from enforcing the suspension of the 34 players.
- Issue a preliminary injunction blocking GHSA from enforcing the penalties for the rest of the playoffs.
- Declare GHSA’s decision void for violating:
•Its own rules
•Constitutional due process
•Georgia’s self-defense laws
- Allow Gainesville to play the Quarterfinal game with all players eligible.
Hearing is set for 2:30pm today.
