Some rules are meant to be broken 

Who is the moral compass? Majority rules?  We know better than that, living in America with the laws that are in place. Tell the Police Officer, or the Judge that next time that "Some rules are meant to be broken," see if that flies the next time you break the law.  I am here now praying & will be at the game praying for all the boys, fans & those horrible rule breaking coaches, (who shall remain nameless)  that they are all safely transported to & from the game.  That there are no injuries. That God Bless both Barbers Hill High School & Port Neches-Groves High School.:)

Students can lead a prayer... but no faculty can.

I agree freedom of speech.  I thought the federal law stated that no one could lead the prayer before the game!

I have been wrong before! Everyone needs to start doing this again!!! Amen!

Found This on Supreme Court Decisions site: Dated: 6/20/2000

Supreme Court ruled today that prayers led by students at high school football games are no exception: as officially sanctioned acts at events that students feel great social pressure to attend, they are unconstitutional.

The 6-to-3 majority opinion by Justice John Paul Stevens said that even when attendance was voluntary and when the decision to pray was made by students, ''the delivery of a pregame prayer has the improper effect of coercing those present to participate in an act of religious worship.''

The case came from a small school district in South Texas,(Santa Fe ISD) typical of communities across the South where the practice of prayer at graduations, assemblies and athletic contests has persisted as officials have tried to navigate the obstacle course created by Supreme Court and lower court decisions.

In this case, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, in New Orleans, had ruled that students could offer prayers at graduations -- where members of the clergy cannot, under a 1992 Supreme Court decision -- but not in the ''far less solemn and extraordinary'' setting of a football game.

I have not seen anything that overturned this decision, but IT IS WRONG!!!

I have been to games where they pray and some where they dont. Never understood why it stopped then in that passsage from above said a lil small texas school Sante Fe go figure. Dont k ow what this world is coming to these days.

Case originally brought to court by a Santa Fe Christian family who's daughter was mocked & harassed because she would not accept a free New Testament that was being handed out at school. Her reason was that she had a Bible already & did not need one.  The way that she was treated was so severe, her parents had to relocate her.  They stated that Santa Fe Christians should not be rewarded with the opportunity to pray before games, if they teach their so-called Christian children it is OK to behave in that manner.  It made it all the way to the Supreme Court.  Had read a detailed article on the case written by the attorney for the girl.

At The Reservation we have a moment of silence, but their is a gentleman that yells The Lords Prayer in the stands. Plus I say my own little prayer.

I do not see any Federal Agent coming to enforce the no prayer law, however, it is still a law, a wrong law, but a law.

BH is the underdog IMO with QB1 out. I still think that we are balanced more than most teams in the district with maybe Nederland being the exception . Meaning that with a QB being lost  we will not be as effected as PNG and Crosby was/ is when theirs went out. BH will definitely play up to thier competition Friday and leave it all on the field. Defense is going to decide this game and both teams D is coming together here towards the end of District. Some PNG fans are already looking past The Hill and talking about thier share of the DC with a win over Ned , we can only hope that is spilling down to the players:) 

It isn’t. They are taking it one game at a time.

    • No doubt. It's definitely intriguing enough to watch how this all plays out...
    • We all know that each state has its own laws which can be very different, especially in endeavors like annexation or incorporation, so there is no telling what Louisiana law says. I don’t know but I doubt that there is a point of appeal for Baton Rouge to force St. George to be absorbed back into Baton Rouge by now giving them what they asked for years ago. “Oh, we lost? Well let’s just undo incorporation, ruled as legal by the Supreme Court (of LA)  by going back and giving them what they asked for”. There has to be a law allowing such an appeal. I think what I read about the lower court decisions which actually backed up Baton Rouge, they did not all rule that incorporation was illegal but that they did not think the city could have services up and running soon enough. So you have a court saying that sure you can split but only if we agree that you can provide services get enough. In Louisiana, who knows? I doubt that Texas has such a mechanism to allow a city to split, for example, could the west end of Beaumont say that they wish to make their own city against Beaumont’s objection? I doubt it. Certainly Beaumont could allow a city to be created as Port Arthur did with Bridge City and Taylor’s Landing. There is a huge difference in allowing and forcing which is what happened in Baton Rouge. Similar to the sometime discussed topic of Texas splitting off from the United States because they don’t like the way things are going, think if citizens in any city in the United States were allowed to create their own city, which could not be stopped by the parent city.  That could get interesting!! Don't like what is happening in the south side of Chicago? Just de-annex and create your own city!! Anyway, I thought that it is an interesting story when the capital city splits in half.   
    • Wasn't that 1st round loss last year? Also, during those previous 10 years I am pretty sure Jasper didn't go 2-58 in district play in the other 5 sports.
    • Ma'am, I don't think he said all Muslims were like that. If I'm reading this right, he's referencing the terrorist Muslims. You know, the ones who commit murder & have no regard for anyone who doesn't follow their jihadist beliefs...
    • Great playoff run, no doubt.  They did make the 3rd round(1 less) 4 of the previous 10 years, only one first round loss. 6 district championships and 4 second place.  The only 4 years Carthage was in the same district. So no, I'm not sure it does make sense.
