The Robert Beren Academy of Houston has advanced to the finals in a victory over both their opponents, Dallas Covenant Academy, and the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools, which had refused to move the game off the Shabbat schedule.
After mounting public pressure, the league bureaucrats gave in and permitted the semi-final game to take place 2:00 p.m. last Friday. The Beren Academy won 58-46, and is advancing to the final, which will be played next Saturday night at 8 p.m., well after the end of Shabbat.
