Butler playoff saga ongoing
BUTLER TWP — Another obstacle has been thrown in the Butler Area High School football team’s path to the District 10 championship game.
The PIAA has appealed last week’s Butler County Court of Common Pleas’ decision to grant Butler a permanent injunction, which negated the PIAA and District 7’s earlier ruling that Golden Tornado was ineligible to compete in post-season play through another district.
That appeal has resulted in a pair of hearings Thursday, involving attorneys from both parties. The first is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. in Commonwealth Court in Harrisburg, the second slated for 2 p.m. in the Court of Common Pleas in Butler.
Both hearings are public proceedings and will be done remotely.
