Friday afternoon a game was halted in the same area due to excessive humidity. Well, and the team was down 42-14 with 2:00 left in the third quarter.
Small schools, kids playing both ways, kids not in game shape yet, I'd just rather not risk it. Last season I was worried as a defensive lineman was throwing up on the field during a steamy week 1, but then his teammates said he does that EVERY game.

I've heard of stopping for heat ... but never humidity. Dang, we play in 95+ humidity sometimes.
