Mississippi Heat Wave Hits Football Season | Jackson News

Mississippi’s football season is heating up — literally. With scorching temps pushing practices to a halt, schools are enforcing strict heat guidelines: 82-86.9°F means dial back drills, 87-89.9°F cuts practice to two hours, and 90°F+ limits it to one hour — no outdoor workouts if it hits 92°F or higher. Private schools follow looser rules but still prioritize hydration. Everyone — players, cheerleaders, bands, fans, officials — is sweating under the sun, with safety experts urging shade, water, and portable fans. Football’s back, but this heat? It’s not playing around. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
