Here's a snippet from the News-Journal: https://www.news-journalonline.com/story/sports/high-school/football/2025/11/06/first-academy-fhsaa-football-playoffs-postseason-ban-judge-orlando/87104708007/ The FHSAA confirmed to the USA TODAY Florida Network on Oct. 24 that it received the letter and had sent it to its legal counsel. Leonard Ireland Jr., the FHSAA's general counsel, responded on Oct. 28, saying that Damon is unable to alter or amend The First Academy's sanctions. "The issues you raise regarding The First Academy Football Program were decided on appeal by the FHSAA Board of Directors," Ireland wrote. "According to the FHSAA Bylaws that decision is final."  

Bill the state!

I hate to undercut you Nulli, but I'll do it for $200K.  It won't be as good as yours, but it'll be better than what they've got!  

Looks like you have your answer now . . . hosting a game in the FIT, right?

Interestingly, First Academy is in Class 1A and in Region 2.   As best I can tell, the FHSAA website now has all the brackets filled out for the football playoffs . . . except Quadrant 2 in Class 1A.  Hmmmm.      Also, I can't read parts of the initial post because of the ads blocking the text.  But, does anyone know if the FHSAA is the one who caved on this or did First Academy take the FHSAA to court and get an injunction allowing FA to participate in the playoffs?    If the latter, this matter may not be over quite yet.
