More than 1,200 students, fans and football players stood hand-in-hand and prayed Friday night at the Soddy-Daisy and Rhea County football game.
This comes after Superintendent Jim Scales banned public prayer over public address systems after being pressured from a national organization.
One student asked the fans to join them on the 50-yard line while they prayed. Observers said there was no microphone, just a private prayer between the two communities and a mass "amen."
