Description
The man who was fired after holding prayers with players after football games and successfully pleaded his case to the U.S. Supreme Court returned to a Bremerton High School football field for the first time Wednesday evening.
"It’s really crazy because this is a brand new team," Joe Kennedy said to KING 5. "These kids were in grade school when this story popped up. It’s all new coaches so everything changes.

Kennedy was an assistant football coach at Bremerton who was fired in 2015 for praying with players on the field after the district told him to stop.
