Nehemiah Martinez was determined ineligible by the UIL because they believe his move was athletically motivated. Martinez’s Dad lives in Lubbock Cooper District and his step brothers attend LCISD schools. Nehemiah stated that New Deal representatives flipped his story and made ineligible statements against Nehemiah. This petition is against the UIL ruling, and it’s sole purpose is to give back an oppurtunity to a devoted, talented young man who has been falsely accused of moving for athletic reasons.
