Probably not a great idea to be in full gear with 112 degrees on turf. Other local schools were in full gear for hours on end leading to more hospital visits.Del Oro had a lineman end up in hospital
Heat stroke. And other player stressed.
Clearly ridiculous to have kids padded up in 115’ temperatures. That stated, curious what “other local schools” had players taking “hospital visits”?Probably not a great idea to be in full gear with 112 degrees on turf.

Saturday does look considerably cooler but now we have smoke issues from the mosquito fire. Can’t catch a break but next week drops big time. 🙏🏻Elk Grove Unified S. D. has stated that all games must start at 7:30 pm or later. Monterey Trail has moved the start of their Freshman game to 7:30 pm tonight. Varsity will host Merced at 7:30 pm Friday.
The JV game will no longer be played against Merced, but a match-up has been scheduled with Sheldon JV for 10 am Saturday morning. I'm assuming there were busing issues for Merced and Acalanes on a Saturday morning. Works out well for Sheldon and MT. The schools are 3 miles apart--no need for buses. Mom-and-pop transportation services will be enough.
You just stated my opinion on the matter!Move the season start back to the original date. No reason to put lives in danger for state football playoffs. CIF and school district are extremely fortunate this young man didn't die from their lack of direction and leadership.
