Miami Carol City football seeks injunction against playoff ban ahead of showing
Summary

Miami Carol City football players and parents filed for an emergency injunction in Miami Circuit Court on November 4, challenging a postseason ban imposed by the FHSAA due to a brawl after a game in Grayson, Georgia. The FHSAA denied Carol City's appeal on November 1 and set to release playoff brackets later on November 6. The court hearing for the injunction is scheduled for 2 p.m. the same day. The plaintiffs argue that the ban punishes players who did not participate in the fight. Last year, a similar injunction resulted in a delayed playoffs announcement from the FHSAA.
