Court hears Christian school's bid to join league

A federal judge dismissed the suit that Cornerstone Christian Schools in San Antonio filed against the state's University Interscholastic League two years ago.

On Monday, a lawyer for Cornerstone asked a three-judge panel from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn that ruling by U.S. District Judge Fred Biery. The court didn't immediately rule.
