I was under the impression Heat Index was the on field temperature.

Heat index is a cross between temperature and the humidty. The temp might be 94 but the heat index due to humidty can push it to a higher level. You are required to have a sheet that tells when you took the reading and what the reading was. Not the temp but the (I am going to miss spell this) cycromerter reading. The KHSAA has a chart you have to follow. That changes depending on the sport. Baseball can play at a much higher temp/index then football.

To Pond Creek Nation: If the temp was that high for everyone involved they better hope they took a reading. Something happens at all and it was their tail ends. Field turf will drive up the reading even more then grass.

It has been said the kid was on Adderall(sp?) and that it can cause dehydration. No clue if it was on his physical and as far as I know the parents do not have to say the student is on it. I am sure more parents will inform their coaches and more coaches will ask some questions.
