GHSA Makes Sweeping Changes to Heat-Related Practice Rules

by Jeff Fisher

High School Football America

Over the past 15 years, Georgia has had more heat-related deaths of high school football players than any other state in America.  That fact wasn't lost on the state's governing body on Monday when it made big changes to its policy on teams practicing in the heat.

For the first time in state history, the Georgia High School Association has implemented a policy that limits practice time, that includes a ban on three-a-day preseason practices.  Also included in the sweeping changes is a rule that prohibits two-a-day practices on consecutive days, plus limits practice to no more than five hours in a single day.

The GHSA also is requiring that all schools must use wet-bulb temperatures, and not the heat index, to determine when excessive heat and humidity call for limiting or canceling practices. Wet-bulb temperature is the temperature one feels when one's skin is wet and is exposed to moving air.

Here are other rules changes approved by the GHSA on Monday:

- Each player must participate in five days of practices in only helmets, t-shirts and shorts before going to pads in August. These practices without pads, which may begin no sooner than July 25, are limited to two hours.

- Practice in pads, which may begin Aug. 1, are limited to three hours.

Georgia Pastor Doesn't Like Nickname Demons for Warner Robins High School

by Jeff Fisher
Georgia High School Football Huddle

We're one week into the Georgia high school football season and the biggest story in newspapers across the state was a Warner Robins pastor being upset that the nickname of the Warner Robins football team is the Demons.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution's Rhonda Cook takes a look at why Pastor Donald Crosby wants the four-time state champs to have a different mascot.

One day after Crosby announced he was circulating a petition to get rid of the Demons moniker, supporters released their own petition to "Save Our Mascot".  As of today, 3,628 people had signed the petition.  No word on how many signatures Crosby has gotten.

An unofficial count shows that 32 schools in America carry the Demons nickname; there are six Blue Demons; one Golden Demons and one Lady Demons.

Spring Football Practice in Georgia

by Jeff Fisher
Georgia High School Football Huddle


Having lived in Atlanta for two years, there's no doubt in my mind that Georgia has some of the rabid high school football fans in the country.

The biggest thing that I learned about football in the south is that spring practice is a big deal.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution is also one of the best newspapers in the country to quench high school football fans' thirst for high school football knowledge during the off-season.

This spring, the AJC has put together a series called 30 in 30, which looks at some of the top teams in the state.  Click on the links below to learn about things such as whether Camden County can win its third straight AAAAA title after losing 19 of 22 starters; whether Buford capture a fourth straight AA crown and is Columbus-Carver's Isaiah Crowell the best high school running back in country.

Team (2009 Record)
Banneker Trojans (7-4)
Blessed Triniy Titans (5-5)
Brookwood Broncos (6-6)

by Jeff Fisher
Georgia High School Football Huddle

Having lived in Atlanta for a couple of years, I was always excited by the way the Atlanta Journal Constitution covered high school football.

Things have changed with several top reporters forming Georgia High School Football Daily, but the quality of coverage hasn't, because of a nice cooperative between the two entities.

Below is a preview of players that are on the AJC and GHSF radar for the paper's Super 11 that has been a part of AJC tradition since 1985.

Isaiah Crowell, RB - Columbus Carver
