heat related game time

I know the Upperman- Watertown match-up has been moved back to 8:00. There must be others.

Sunset here is 7:38. The temp after sundown takes a nosedive 15 or 20 degs. Any way, playing under the lights is real football.

Gibbs @ Cosby moved to 8 PM.

 

If the temperature falls 15-20 degrees at dusk, then it'll be around 84 for most locales.

"Rutherford Co. Delays Football Start Times"

School officials in Rutherford County have pushed the start time of Friday night’s football games back 30 minutes because of the heat.

 

High school principals and head football coaches met with Rutherford County Schools’ Director Harry Gill, Jr. Friday morning to discuss game precautions.

 

Instead of 7:30 p.m., football games in Rutherford County will begin at 8 p.m.

 

In addition to the later start time, the coaches will be meeting with referees before each game to request frequent water breaks so the players can maintain hydration, Rutherford County officials said Friday.

 

The Rutherford County EMS will also be present at...

 

...each game.

 

In addition to the county’s football teams, Gill told all principals to meet with their band directors and cheerleading coaches to set up similar precautions.

 

Eagleville School is playing at Moore County for its season opening game Friday, which currently is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. The Eagleville principal and coach plan to discuss with Moore County officials about moving that game to 8 p.m. as well.

 

Siegel and Smyrna High schools are the only Rutherford County teams not playing Friday night.

 

They play each other Saturday night. Officials are also working to push that game’s start time to 8 p.m.as well.
