Football and Heat

This from C-J:
If the death last year of a Louisville-area football player isn't enough to move the Kentucky High School Athletic Association to action, maybe the recent wave of oppressive heat will be.

It's nearing one year since the death of 15-year-old Max Gilpin, the Pleasure Park Ridge High School football player who died of heat stroke last August. The inexcusable delay of Jefferson County Public Schools' investigation into the tragedy is old news by now.

There's another pressing issue at hand: how to implement changes to school athletic policy before football tryouts begin in July.

That's the charge of the KHSAA, and so far, with less than a month before players return to the field, they've failed to do it....
