JCPS Moves Football to Beat the Heat | Louisville News

Jefferson County Public Schools just pulled off a major safety move—pushing all Friday night football games to start at 8 PM or later, and moving outdoor practices and events to either early morning or after 8 PM to dodge the deadly heat. With temps hitting near 100°F and the heat index soaring past 106°F, this isn’t just precaution—it’s protection for student-athletes. Parents, stay tuned: check with your child’s coach or athletic director for updated schedules. Smart, necessary, and hopefully temporary until the heat breaks.
