Hopefully this hot weather can cooperate a little better when 2-a-days start.

Why do schools in this area, practice in the heat of late mornings and early afternoons. I would think knowing about how heat effects people they would do early mornings and late evenings. I used to see a number of Georgia and Texas schools do this, the players play games under the lights anyway, what better way than under the lights to get them ready for game day? Now I'm going back to my summer vacation, see everyone in a month

Some schools do start early in the AM. Have a lunch break around 10:30. Back on the field at 11:00 and finished for the day by 1:00 PM.

I think what he meant was start early morning, then wait till later in day say like 6?

If you go early morning, then late evening, that puts quite a strain on people's schedules. A lot of kids work in the summer, and it would be hard to work just in the late morning/early afternoon.
