See which TSSAA football kickoff times changed due to Tennessee heat advisory
TSSAA football Week 3 games in Nashville and around the state are being pushed back due to dangerous heat indexes. See what's changed.
Tennessee high school football games that were originally scheduled for Week 3 have been rescheduled due to a dangerous heat advisory in Middle Tennessee. The National Weather Service in Nashville issued a "major to extreme heat risk" warning for the region through September 5. Temperatures were forecasted to reach 101 degrees on September 3 and 100 degrees on September 4, with heat index values potentially hitting 110 degrees during that period.
According to the TSSAA heat policy, outdoor competitions can only proceed if a qualified healthcare professional with access to rapid cooling methods is present, or if the wet bulb globe temperature remains below 92.0 and the heat index stays under 104 degrees. The affected games, primarily located in Middle Tennessee, have been pushed back to 7:30 p.m. on September 4.
