OSG High: Act Of Faith Costs Athlete A Title Shot

((HT: KHOU-TV))

The HQ can't remember the last time something like this cost an athlete something- other than the occasional scoff from others for doing the act in public. But, now it seems that celebrating your God in public before crossing a finish line can cost you a win in high school.

A Columbus (TX) High school runner pointed skyward as his team was on their way to winning their relay race because according to UIL (the governing body for Texas high school athletics) by-laws, there can be no excessive celebration...

Really...???
Really...

Here's the rundown...
Runners do it all the time in sprint races... they're number one...
We get it...

If an athlete wants to do something like that to say someone else is number one and should get the credit... and it's not done overtly, then how is that different...???

Apparently to the UIL, it is...
The HQ doesn't quite think this is over...
