High school football team power through humid practice in early morning heat

Hot, hot, hot! I do not know how to describe this week’s weather, and those who had to go to work or practice surely understand it the most. 
 
Nevertheless, west Alabama high school football came up with a worthy way of dealing with this menace. 
 
Well, sort of. 
 
The forum was at 7:30 Friday morning in Northridge High School. The coaches yelled out at the team, shouted out messages and disciplining the team in the heat. Me more than eighty players wearing pant girdles tank tops and shouldering ten pounds of pads. 
 
“You know, I am happy here with my new faculty family Truly, it gets hot here in Alabama It gets real humid,” stated Miller Arendale. 
 
Arendale should know. He executes inside linebacker in the football group. He agreed it was hot and vile; but he wouldn’t have it different. He is just relieved that they are rehearsing when the sun is not so scorching hot, be it in the morning, afternoon or evening. 
 
“It was good this morning Arendale, because we had a breeze and it is not really hot early in the morning. ” 
 
About some of these measures, Lolley, the head football, had this to say: “Getting more done in the mornings. ” 
 
Lolley simply comments that it is tactics; just keep the kids fresh, watered, and rehearsing before the heat of the sun sets in. 
 
“It’s cooler in the morning you know you’ve just got to make sure they are safe and you can push them a little harder in the mornings get more out of them there,” Save on Lolley. 
 
However, in the past football did not have time-honored water breaks, but now it does. The trainer on the team had approximately 100 gallons of water and Gatorade on standby for the players which were a comfort that Arendale fully utilised. 
 
“When I testified it was every time I come off the field We had a scrimmage today (Friday) so every time I came off the field to get some water,” as said by the coach Lolley. 
 
The practice session took 2 and half hours. Not a single person was laid low, nobody fainted. They sprinted it off, and covered the distance before the scorching heat threatened to knock them out of their feet. 
 
Friday morning practice can now be marked off the schedule, but the practice did not end today. Well, they get to do it all over again the very next day at the very earliest – generally at first thing Monday morning.
