PIKE COUNTY, AL (WSFA) - Attorneys for a south Alabama high school basketball star are asking a court to delay an upcoming hearing in her ongoing battle against the Alabama High School Athletic Association.
Tuesday, Charles Henderson High School athlete Maori Davenport’s attorneys filed an amended lawsuit and a motion with the Pike County Circuit Court asking that a hearing, set for Feb. 1, be pushed back.
Davenport sued the AHSAA in early January and won a temporary restraining order that restored her eligibility pending a judge’s ruling on the injunction.
The AHSAA then filed a motion to have the case dismissed, citing the court’s lack of jurisdiction over the voluntary association, or moved to Montgomery County Circuit Court, citing signatures by Davenport’s parents regarding litigation against the AHSAA.
