Yes, it is an amazing story and goes to show what can be accomplished by standing firm.

The poorly worded article implies that the Adventist students were disappointed that their school wouldn't let them play on Sabbath.

"Even though the Burton team had a 17-3 season, and won the agreement of the other schools slated for that year’s playoffs, TAPPS was adamant: the rules were the rules, and unless the Burton team played, they’d forfeit the game. The school stood its ground, which must have disappointed the students.

why do you say,"poorly worded",W? I wondered at that wording too. Made me think that the school forced them to not do something they would have done gladly.
