Amite---An Amite High School student athlete fell dead Tuesday evening immediately after football practice. Amite Police Chief Jerry Trabona said they received a call around 9 p.m. about an emergency at the school.
quote:
Trabona said the team had just finished football practice, held late to avoid the heat of the day, and that Terrance was joking in the locker room before he fell to the ground.

Horrible situation. Not sure of his medical history, but sounds like the school tried to mitigate the heat factor by practicing at night.

It's mid-June. It's 6pm and literally 91 degrees RIGHT NOW. It doesn't "cool down" until like 10.

Remind me again why football can't be played during the winter rather than the hot as frick end of summer/fall? Or the Spring?
I feel like this is the easiest of situations to change.
Let's run two a days during the middle of the fricking 100 degree summer!!! Sweet! Can't wait coach, this is awesome!

in June? Isn't it two months until football season?
I never understood why schools start in the middle of August, must like high AC bills or suffering in the heat

I’ve never heard of HS football practice in June. Spring training is March or April, and real preseason practice is August. June and July are weights and conditioning.

I was in high school in the mid 90's, we practiced 2-a-days all summer with weight lifting between practices. Our coach was Satan incarnate. I'm amazed all of us survived. My heart goes out to this young man's family. Horrible story.

Our practice is 8 am. Much cooler at 8 am before everything heats up all day.

Man this is terrible news. I feel for that family and team.
We used to practice over the summer and it was awful, but it was conditioning and drills, with weights. Sometimes we would use helmets and shoulder pads but not every day. We didn’t get full pads until right before school started. I would have a hard time doing all summer in pads.
