Fargo:   KVLY TV in Fargo reports the North Dakota High School Activities Association has received a letter from the Thomas More Society, requesting prayer over the public address prior to the Shanley High School vs. Central Cass High School football playoff game on Saturday, November 7, 2015.

WDAY TV’s story adds, that because this request involves an issue of constitutional law, it has been forwarded to NDHSAA Legal Counsel for review. The NDHSAA is taking the request seriously and anticipates a response as soon as possible.

Attorneys for Shanley High School say the private Catholic school in Fargo  has the constitutional right to announce a prayer over its speaker system before the football team’s playoff game Saturday, and have requested that the high school sports governing body suspend its ban on prayer to allow this.
