A Magistrate in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court has denied former Ursuline players' motion for a temporary restraining order for a second time, stating the facts remain the same as in the first ruling.

Some former Ursuline football players who were not involved in the alleged hazing incident that took place during a team trip in late June and subsequently transferred to play football with another district have been denied eligibility to play this season. 

The court noted that several players applied for an exemption through OHSAA, which creates bylaws for high school sporting activities and doesn't allow the transfer after game 6 for that year's season.

The ruling noted that several plaintiffs have applied for an exception through OHSAA, yet none have been granted and some have been officially denied. 

The Boardman Athletic Director stated that two of the plaintiffs had transferred to his district, and he would not be filing an appeal of the decision, leaving the displaced football players without a remedy, except through court intervention.

The Ursuline football season was scrapped on September 12. The team played two games so far against Steubenville and Bishop Hartley.

From there, Ursuline canceled its game against Farrell on September 5. Following the Farrell cancellation, several other schools canceled their games against Ursuline, including Warren G. Harding, Austintown Fitch, Saint Vincent-Saint Mary, and Chaney High School.

Last week, a Trumbull County judge granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) against a ruling by the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) that prevented Ursuline transfer students from participating in football in 2025.

OHSAA's bylaws state that if a school does allow ineligible students to play, any games played with them on the team could be forfeited.

There are three weeks left of regular-season play for the 2025-26 season.
