Watched a state district girls game last night and witnessed an unusual situation. A girl had a head scarf covering her head (assuming musilm faith) and the officials informed her that she was not legal to play with it on. After a 5 minute discussion with input from the coaches and A.D.'s on both sides it was decided to let her play.
Q. Is there any specific example in NFHS rules that prohibits religious head scarfs or considers them as jewelry/ornamental?
