The kids are not forced or required to prey, (To respect those who follow certain religions or have different beliefs) I believe it's just a way to give thanks and connect as a team, more so than religiously speaking. Especially a man like Test, he's all about respect and class to begin with. No surprise, most teams professionally do it, college teams do it, and other high schools as well.
