The state Supreme Court has appointed a Fayette County circuit judge to join it in considering the court cases currently postponing the high school football playoffs.
Chief Justice Tim Armstead appointed Fayette County Circuit Judge Thomas Ewing Monday.
SSAC Executive Director David Price said Monday he was hopeful for a quick decision.
“We’d love for it to be today, it could be tomorrow, Wednesday or whatever,” Price said on WJLS-AM Monday. “We fully intend to play football Friday and Saturday.”

Price said Thursday would be the deadline to inform teams who they are playing if there are going to be games this week. He said they would allow teams to play on Sunday.
Spring Mills decision
The SSAC will not appeal a ruling made last week by a Berkeley County circuit judge that restored four wins to the Spring Mills High School football team for using an illegal player.
The judge ruled the player was protected under a federal act for homeless students (McKinney-Vento).
Price said Monday the SSAC will not appeal, the wins have been restored.
“This young man did qualify under McKinney-Vento,” Price said.
