Two weeks before the high school basketball season is set to begin, a federal judge issued a pair of opinions in the case of a woman basketball official who says she was illegally barred from working boys' high school games. The judge upheld a jury verdict of $314,000 in favor of Noreen Kemether and imposed a strict injunction on the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, requiring it to change its by-laws so women officials can officiate post-season boys' games.

In the first opinion in Kemether v. Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, U.S. District Judge William H. Yohn Jr. upheld a jury’s verdict of $314,000 in favor of Noreen Kemether following a trial in December 1998.
