With temperatures predicted to be in the triple digits throughout the next week and foreseeable future, Tenaha ISD along with West Sabine ISD have agreed to move this week's contest to a kick-off time of 7:30 PM. Due to this incredible heat wave we are experiencing, Tenaha ISD is working to ensure our student athletes, coaches and staff, along with our fans' safety is our top priority. Measures that have been put in place to protect and serve our teams are as follows: * Water and ice will be available on the sidelines to hydrate and cool players (applying cold compresses to the neck and head) throughout the game *Hydration drinks of various types (Gatorade, Body Armour, Liquid IV - after game) are being purchased for all participating students during Friday night's game (Band, Cheer and Football). *All personnel, band members, cheerleaders have received amended dress code requirements that include shorts or light clothing; fans are encouraged to take the same measures and precautions as well. *Students are reminded to appropriately eat and stay hydrated DAILY as this extends over to practices as well. We ask that if you notice anyone in distress from the heat, please report to Laura Walker-Holmes immediately, as she will be the administrator on duty at this week's game in Pineland. Additionally, we will have our District Athletic Trainer, Jeff Davis, on the sidelines to assist with any issues that may arise as well. Each week, we will re-evaluate the necessary precautions needed to ensure the safety of our Tigers until this heat wave has lifted. Please remember this week's game vs West Sabine is in Pineland, TX at 7:30 PM - tickets will be available at the gate (no pre-sale for away games)...about 50 miles from Tenaha down HWY 96 South through Center, San Augustine and Bronson. Come out and support our amazing students and staff!!! Go TIGERS!
