A McHenry County judge did not rule Friday on a lawsuit from Marian Central Catholic High School student-athlete Jimmy Mastny against the IHSA.

WOODSTOCK, Ill. (WLS) -- A McHenry County judge's ruling on a lawsuit against the Illinois High School Association has been delayed until next week.

Marian Central Catholic Wrestler Jimmy Mastny and Coach Jordan Blanton were disqualified for a year by IHSA. The organization alleged Mastny was ineligible because he was living with a relative of Blanton's.

A ruling on the lawsuit was expected Friday, but now the decision on whether Mastny was in violation of IHSA rules will happen next week.

The two won temporary judgments allowing them to finish the season. Mastny, now a sophomore, won a state championship last year.

It is not clear what would happen to his state title if he were found to be in violation of IHSA rules.
