Colerain High School senior Tyler Brewer can stay in school after a judge Monday overruled his expulsion.

The ruling by Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Norbert Nadel allows Brewer, a star wrestler, to make up all work missed since the school quarter started Oct. 27.

Brewer was expelled for being at a fight away from the school. Attorney David Lampe, who represents the Northwest Local School District, argued that allowing Brewer back in school would defy the authority of the school board. And, he said, it would give the perception that athletes are favored.

Nadel called Brewer's case an isolated incident in which Brewer would suffer irreparable harm if he were not allowed back.

Several colleges have expressed interest in offering the 18-year-old a wrestling scholarship.
