Walker County Schools officials Wednesday were mum on accusations that Ridgeland High School’s football program is violating the First Amendment rights of players.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation sent a letter dated Aug. 21 to Walker County Superintendent Damon Raines challenging several activities led by coach Mark Mariakis.
The group alleged those include:
• Football team trips to a church for meals and Christian messages
