Hey guys, I generally respond on the basketball side as that's the sport I officiate but I like to check over here as my 7th grade Son is in his second year of football and I've learned alot about rules from you guys.
Saurday was the homecoming game for my daughter's high school here in St. Louis and they played at 1 in the afternoon. It was hot but certainly not the hottest day we've had. Before the game the band played and 4 kids fell-out because of the heat. Then at halftime when they played 2 more kids fell-out and this time they performed without their jackets on. During the game I saw 1 player getting iced/watered down because of the heat. I played HS football down in Houston and never remember that happening 1 time. I did keep an eye on the officials and they seemed to get alot of water and seemed strong thruout the contest.
Is this a regular thing and do you guys think it's somewhat unreasonable to play afternoon games in September in areas like this where there is so much heat?
