- The team played under a temporary restraining order.

## Summary

A Michigan judge is deciding whether Grand Rapids Catholic Central’s football team can continue in the playoffs after a dispute over a transferred player’s eligibility. The case centres on a secretly recorded home tour, which the Michigan High School Athletic Association says suggested the player’s family had not moved as claimed.

The team played Comstock Park last Tuesday after a temporary restraining order allowed it to take part. At Friday’s hearing, the association argued that its rules cover such eligibility disputes, while the player’s lawyer accused Comstock Park of pursuing a “witch hunt”. Catholic Central’s athletic director said investigations, including checks of voter registration and driving licence changes, found the player eligible; the judge expects to rule on Monday, before the team’s next scheduled game on Tuesday.
