Joe Kennedy, football coach for Bremerton High School in Washington, told a Fox & Friends Thursday morning audience he was going to go forward with his 50-yard line end-game public prayer, despite administrators’ orders to stop.

“It’s something that I kind of made an agreement with, my personal faith in God, that this is something I was going to do – give Him the glory after every single game and do it on the 50 ,and I’m kind of a guy of my word,” he said, during the national broadcast. “I’m going to go through with what I’ve always done.”

Kennedy for years has said a before- and after-game prayer on the 50-yard line at both home and away games, asking God for the safety of the players and that the game go forth in a fair manner. Students and players have joined him over the years – and not just from Bremerton.
