Religious head scarf legal? (Girls NFHS)

[Jurassic Referee]

NFHS rule 3-5-2EXCEPTION1- "State associations may on an individual basis allow a player to participate while wearing a head covering if it meets the following criteria:
b)For religious reasons- In the event there is documented evidence provided to the state association that a participant may not expose his/her uncovered head, the state association may approve a covering or wrap which is non-abrasive, hard or dangerous to any other player and which is attached in such a way as it is highly unlikely it will come off during play".

Iow, tell the coach that you need something in writing from their state association approving their use. They should have done that at the start of the season, not before they got to state districts. When in doubt, CYA.
