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

Oklahoma High School Football Huddle

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.
