It is a voluntary activity, so the participants should be bound by the rules of the activity. Should the OSAA, and the NCAA, make a reasonable attempt to accommodate the schools involved? Sure. Should they be forced to in court? Of course not.

The problem is, they already make a lot of accomodations as it is. Why don't they play on Sunday now? Try scheduling hs basketball games on sunday and see what happens. Some states may do this already, I don't know, but I know the two I'm familiar with don't and you'd see major bellyaching if they tried to change that.
In a sense, they're already making religious accomodation for the majority.
