My son plays football and this summer when they started practices that's all I could think about. God be with this family, wrap your arms around them and bring them strength when nothing else can. Let them grieve, but let their tears heal. Give them the ability to remember their son with happiness and love. In Your name....

The resources were available such as drinks and ice baths, but did the coaches make them stop every so often and take part in these necessary items that keep them hydrated and from being so hot? If the National Weather Service issues a heat warning, no child should be outside. I understand the need for practice, but early morning before the heat reaches its full potential should be good enough. Two a days especially on days when it was as hot as it was on August 11th is insanity. I believe after this sad event, every school district in Arkansas should make changes to their football practice schedule. Please pray for the Davenport Family.

Football not to blame, nor the coaches. This happened to me this summer while working on a sprinkler system and a friend of mine experienced symptoms while sitting in aboat fishing. 100 degree heat is serious.

What a terrible and unnecessary loss. Football is not THIS important.

What a sad day. My thoughts and prayers go out to this young mans family and friends.
