High School Football Team Defends Pre-Game Prayer Tradition
The Madison County Wildcats football team is standing strong against demands from outside agitators to end their voluntary pre-game prayer tradition. For decades, players who choose to participate have gathered for a moment of prayer before taking the field. Now, a radical activist group from out of state is threatening legal action, claiming the practice violates separation of church and state. Coach Bill Thompson disagrees: "This is student-led, completely voluntary, and protected by the First Amendment." The community has rallied behind the team, with hundreds attending Tuesday's school board meeting to voice support. Parents and students alike refuse to let secular extremists erase faith from public life. The tradition will continue.
