  "summary": "The Riviera Independent School District in South Texas has issued a warning about an increased presence of rattlesnakes before its high school football game. Shortly before the matchup between Riviera Kaufer High School and Corpus Christi John Paul II on Thursday, August 27, the Riviera ISD asked fans to be on the lookout for the slithery creatures when they arrive for the game. The district requested that parents and spectators avoid the long jump area of the football field and stay alert while supervising children closely. The game is the first for the Riviera Kaufer Seahawks in the UIL 2A-Division 2 while JPII, a TAPPS Division III team, plays in their second.",
