Havasu High School

[TCHB]

Give these guys a hand for playing a game at 110d in August.

Don’t know the kids do it.

My son played, I recall a game on artificial grass at Chaparral high that was so hot the kids had to keep moving their feet or they would feel like they were burning. Artificial Turf temp was easily 125+

Another game in Maryvale was 112 on dead grass, the brilliant school brought in a water truck to water the field to keep chaff down. One pass of the water truck and it made Africa hot seem not so bad.

My kids played firebirds football there and one time it was so hot the glue holding cleats together was melting and kids shoes were falling apart. I am done with the heat this summer. Not one day on any lake is killing me.

I grew up in Vegas. Dont know how I did it playing sports in the heat.

Im with you ProsthoGod, Im over the heat. The older I get, the more I cant stand baking in it. Cant wait some Fall boating.

Most schools are trying to follow the collegiate level. That being said I agree. What happened to starting after Labor Day.

I went to Havasu High in 9th grade.
PE was brutal. At the time the field/track was across a wash, so just getting to the field was a workout.

A shower was mandatory or offend every one around you through the rest of the day.

I would hate to be a kid in high school today, and have to deal with the current bullshit.

One of our friends sons is on the football coaching staff. He said he thought it was hot playing football in the summer in Anza .

It is because there have been "studies" about kids "losing" the previous year's knowledge over the long summer break... And teachers whining that they have to spend a few weeks going back over stuff from last year, which means they can't spend time prepping for the tests in the fall.

My kids started back on Wednesday. It sucks because the weather in June is pretty iffy here. I'd rather have them go a few weeks into June instead of being out before memorial day.
