The suspension of Jenks head football coach is over.

The Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association has lifted the suspension it imposed on Allan Trimble last fall for violating states recruiting rules.

According to KOCO TV, the state's athletic governing body also reinstated Timble's assistant David Alexander, who was suspended at the same time.  The station is also reporting that the OSSAA didn't take any action on the suspension of former Booker T. Washington head coach Antwain Jimmerson, who was not able to attend his suspension hearing.

Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association to Decide Fate of Jenks Head Football Coach

Suspended Jenks High School football coach Allan Trimble is appearing before the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association today to ask the state's athletic governing body to lift its suspension that took the nine-time state champion coach from the sidelines last fall.

Tulsa World reporter Matt Baker writes that Trimble's reinstatement isn't a formality.

Last October, the OSSAA suspended Trimble indefinitely and forfeited eight wins from Jenks' 2008 season after the program admitted it violated OSSAA residency and recruiting rules.

Trimble isn't the only one trying to get reinstated today.  Former Booker T. Washington head football coach Antwain Jimmerson is also scheduled to appear before the OSSAA.

Jimmerson was suspended last year for recruiting and academic rules violations.

Check back with the Oklahoma High School Football Huddle later today for the outcome of the hearings.
