The Alabama Supreme Court did Thursday what no team in North Alabama could this year. They stopped Clay-Chalkville's promising football season.
The Supreme Court rendered a verdict that supported the Alabama High School Athletic Association's interpretation of its rules. Clay-Chalkville is out of the Class 6A playoffs which begin Friday. The Cougars went unbeaten on the field, but now see their official record for the 2011 season fall to 1-9.
The decision sets aside three separate injunctions from the circuit courts of Etowah, Jefferson and Morgan Counties. Check back to Al.com for more information and reaction on this developing story.
