Thursday night’s JV game between Woodrow Wilson High School in Dallas and Irving's Macarthur High School would have normally started just after 6 p.m. But it was pushed back nearly an hour to account for the heat.
Under the relentless North Texas Sun, Woodrow Wilson Wildcats took on Macarthur Cardinals’ JV football team at Loos Stadium in Addison. "We’re making sure our athletes are being taken care of getting plenty of water, breaks, things like that," said Dallas ISD Asst. Director of Athletics Corey Eaton.
"All of our schools have turf. They’re practicing on a field that they’re going to be playing on, so they’re getting used to the climatization that is happening," Eaton said. Each team has at least two athletic trainers on the field, and all coaches are CPR-certified and able to use a defibrillator."Trying to be in the shade, and if you can’t be in the shade, bring an umbrella and dress in clothes that are breathable," said parent Amy Gregory.
