Washington — The Washington state high school football coach who was at the center of a Supreme Court dispute over his postgame prayers has resigned his position, days after he returned to coach his first game since his victory before the high court. Joseph Kennedy, an assistant coach for the Bremerton High School varsity football team, announced his resignation, which is effective immediately, in a statement posted to his website. He said he provided multiple reasons for his decision to step down, including taking care of a sick family member out of state.
