High school football kickoff times delayed because of heat forecast
With excessive heat in the forecast for Friday, the kickoff times for several high school football games in Louisville area are being pushed back.
As fierce heat looms on Friday, several Louisville-area high school football games have been postponed to avoid the scorching conditions. Notably, Cincinnati Moeller (1-1) vs. Trinity (2-0) will commence at 8 p.m. on Friday, later than initially planned. The National Weather Service predicts a scorching 96 degrees with a heat index of 106 degrees.
The weather is so extreme that the Kentucky High School Athletic Association mandates specific heat policies. For temperatures between 87.1-89.9, schools must make mandatory water breaks every four minutes in each quarter. If temperatures rise to 90.0-91.9, water breaks must occur at four and eight minutes into each quarter. If the heat index exceeds 92.0, games cannot be played. Louisville-area schools have adjusted their football schedules accordingly.
