I don't have this year's NFHS rulebook. Could someone please post the actual rule about religious jewelry, please?

4.1.tb Religious medals are not considered jewelry and shall be worn under the uniform and taped to the body.

Interesting. Because these aren't medals. Seems like it's not covered by the rule.

Similar situation here with a Hindu bracelet. We were instructed to by the state allow it if it is covered by tape (while still on the wrist).

4-7-b: Religious medals are not considered jewelry and shall be worn under the uniform and taped to the body.

Unless it's a long sleeved jersey, it's hard to consider something on the wrist "under the uniform."
