Middletown senior quarterback Kolby Morgerson's family has filed for a preliminary injunction against the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) after he was ruled ineligible under transfer bylaws. The hearing is set for 9 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 16, in Butler County Court. Morgerson, who started the first five games of the season for Middletown, moved to the district from Carlisle High School earlier this year, but his appeal for eligibility was denied by the OHSAA citing a lack of evidence for a bona fide change of address. The family contends the move was motivated by financial hardship. Middletown currently holds a 5-3 record this season, having reached the Division I state semifinals last year.
