MASSILLON, Ohio — After a lower court judge denied the preliminary injunction and dissolved the temporary restraining order for Brayton and Brydon Feister to regain playing eligibility, their legal representation has filed an appeal in the 5th District Court of Appeals to restore their eligibility.
Soon after, sitting Trumbull County Judge Andrew Logan denied the motion filed by Plakas Mannos, the law firm representing the Feister family, on October 9 in favor of the Ohio High School Athletic Association; the appeal was filed.
According to court documents, the recent appeal filing came soon after the denial. The ruling stated that the family's transfer was athletically motivated rather than a genuine change of residence.

Filing an appeal doesn't automatically restore the temporary restraining order; instead, you must be granted a motion to stay while the appeal moves through the higher court.
The appeal filed on behalf of the Feister brothers is set to be heard on or around October 22, according to the Canton Repository, which marks a significant time, as the 137th meeting of the Massillon versus McKinley game is to be played on Saturday, October 24.
Until such time, they are prohibited from participating in any games during the football season.
