Homeless Alabama high school football player allowed to play for now, judge rules

A Prattville High School football player, who has been declared homeless, can play on the team for at least the next two weeks, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

Chief District Judge R. Austin Huffaker, Jr. issued the order after holding an evidentiary hearing Wednesday on the motion for a temporary restraining order against the Alabama High School Athletic Association and high school. The AHSAA had declared the player ineligible to play in games.
