For the first time in 8 years, Coach Joe Kennedy will be on the sidelines for the Bremerton High School Knights.

“This is so cool for them and there should be a great turnout for them, and I want them to be able to shine,” Kennedy told KIRO 7.“Without being too blunt, it’s been hell, especially for my family,” Kennedy said. He refused, which led to the district not renewing his contract. His case drew national attention, even making its way to the Supreme Court,last June. The conservative majority court agreed with Kennedy that his First Amendment rights were being violated.
And while coach Kennedy is happy to be on the sidelines, he hopes crowds will focus on the players, not him.
