State clergy suggest a night off from sports to allow kids to get active in churches
May 7, 1975 - Representatives from the Minnesota High School League and the state's clergy met to discuss the possibility of setting aside one night a week - Wednesday - for church based youth activity. The clergy feels that given a choice, kids would choose basketball over catechism, and the state feels it would be difficult trying to put a stated day on the books, and would opt for locally based agreements between schools and churches.
