The Supreme Court ruled Monday that former high-school football coach Joseph Kennedy had the right to pray on the field after games. After a years-long legal battle which he says culminated in a “great win for the country,” Kennedy just wants to go back to coaching.

“I couldn’t stop smiling. As it kind of settled in, it was just a big sigh of relief, like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and the past seven years have been well worth it, knowing that I didn’t do anything wrong. Being vindicated is great, it’s a great feeling,” Kennedy told National Review.
