Oakwood Adventist had been previously eliminated from the Class 1A state playoffs due to exceeding the 30-game rule for the regular season. The Mustangs had made an appeal to the AHSAA\u2019s Central Board of Control, which was denied.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Montgomery County Circuit Court has entered a TRO that Oakwood Adventist Academy be allowed to participate in the Area 16 Basketball Tournament. The AHSAA will abide by the Court\u2019s Order,\u201d Harmon said in the official statement on allowing Oakwood Adventist Academy to participate in the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>Oakwood Adventist Academy, which is has a overall record of 15-16, had broken the 30-game maximum limit a basketball team can play during the regular season. The Mustangs played their 31st game of the season in a 65-43 loss to Whitesburg Christian Academy.<\/p>\n<p>If Oakwood Adventist Academy didn\u2019t play the Feb. 3rd matchup against Whitesburg Christian academy, they would\u2019ve remained an eligible participant for the AHSAA postseason. The Mustangs without the injunction would have been watching from afar as the program is one of the favorites to win a Class 1A state championship this winter.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Last season, the Mustangs finished the 2024-25 season with a record of 25-9 and reached the Class 1A state semifinals.<\/p>\n<h2>Basketball How to Follow Alabama High School Boys Basketball<\/h2>\n<p>For Alabama high school boys basketball fans looking to keep up with scores around the Yellowhammer State, staying updated on the action is now easier than ever with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/high-school\/scores\/football\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Rivals High School Scoreboard;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Rivals High School Scoreboard<\/a>.
