The Warriors of Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High took the field on Friday night without any Bible verses written on the cheerleaders' banner. Instead, the football team ran through a banner that read "This is Big Red Country" before each bent on a knee to pray on the field of Tommy Cash Stadium.
The spirited display comes after the school district banned the banners last week over concerns they were unconstitutional and could provoke a lawsuit, angering many in the deeply religious north Georgia town of Fort Oglethorpe.
"I'm just kind of unnerved about it," said 18-year-old Cassandra Cooksey, a recent graduate who often prayed with her fellow marching band members before football games. "It seems like the majority of people in our community want this and they don't have a problem with it, so I think they should be allowed to have the signs if they want to."
The move has galvanized the community. Hundreds of people attended a rally this week supporting the signs, which included messages such as: "Commit to the Lord, whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Many students attended class Friday wearing shirts with Bible verses and painted their cars with messages that read: "Warriors for Christ."
During the game, several other messages were visible in the packed stadium. Some people stood with signs that read "You Can't Silence Us" and some young men had Bible verses painted on their chests.
"When you get a whole bunch of teenagers mad, this is what happens. We stand up for what believe in," 16-year-old Shelby Rouse said over the roar of a pre-game pep rally.

Thought you would like this one. This is downright evil.
The “government” is too concentrated. If most of its people lived in the real America, most of the peculiarities that emerge from “government” folks would disappear. On the other hand, where would the peculiar people go if they did not have Washington D.C., Northern Virginia, or Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties to migrate to? Are we better off having them all go there, or having them remain where they were born and bred so they can bring frivolous lawsuits and harass school boards and local governments? We need to provide more funding for space travel as long as the ones who travel to outer space are government employees on one-way trips.
I know he does. I wrote in a post about him never having picked a church after all these months.

Church, dog, Afghanistan -
All take a strategy
A date in NYC or a flight to Copenhagen - Pronto!
I heard the WH actually set up a Chicago Olympics room and staff - lots of time, people, assets spent on something for Chicago
Not for America -

YOU BETCHA, did not like them then, and they disgust me even more now.
most bible verses can be found in other books.
Just take a secular quote and voila, no legal problem...
[lots of time, people, assets spent on something for Chicago]
No question about it. Thankfully they lost and the Chicago crooks won’t benefit as they had planned.
Bet this event taught Obama a lesson.
.
Obama cannot accept or tolerate criticism, truth, losses
He just gets his back up more
He never admits his ideas and agendas and policies are wrong
He continually lies about trillions spent in radical healthcare change are needed to give 12 million mostly illegal aliens coverage and that will fix the economy now and forever
The 9-10 trillion will actually cost young Amerians 20-30 trillion
Yet Michelle’s make-work hospital job experience will see loads of cash funneled to new fakeroo medical jobs and minority-run businesses
16%-17% of the economy will not become 20% as some say
It will be 25% plus
If I was a politician or a DC or state political staffer of bureaucrat - I would start worrying about me lifespan and what perils I am corruptly creating for myself
The Natives will get mucho more restless
They will demand CHANGE
I know. There are many people like that, but he happens to be the President and it affects a country instead of a few people.
I think Pelosi has had some fear put into her. She is not the smiling Nanzi she used to be.
