For those of you who don't speak metric -45C = -49F
I love football. I don't officiate it, but it is my favorite sport. However, it wasn't this past Friday. A local school here made it to the state finals and they played on Friday. I had that schools varsity games, also playing on Friday. The coach canceled the games (girls and boys varsity) so the players could go see the football game! On a positive note, they won!
