Blue Devil Fall Athletic Season Gears Up for Action
The Blue Devil fall athletic season is almost ready to kick-off. Coaches have been quietly organizing equipment and practice plans and student-athletes have been working out on their own and in small groups. Football practice begins Thursday, August 16 at 8 a.m. and all other high school fall teams start Monday, August 27, also at 8 a.m.
An opportunity to obtain a physical exam from the school doctor was provided to student-athletes last June. A second chance will be given to football players only on Tuesday, August 21 in the high school nurse’s office at 8:30 a.m.
No one will be allowed to participate without presenting an up-to-date physical exam report, signed parent/guardian permission/code of conduct slip and a current health screening form. These documents are available in the athletic office at Huntington High School during daytime hours or via downloading on the school district’s website at www.hufsd.edu – click on the Athletics link at the top of the page.
High school athletes must re-qualify for participation with the nurse. Football players can do this on Thursday and Friday, August 16-17 between 7-9 a.m. All other high school athletes can re-qualify on those same dates between 9-11 a.m. and also on Monday and Tuesday, August 27-28 between 7-10 a.m.
Physical exams will be provided by the school doctor for student-athletes at J. Taylor Finley Middle School on Tuesday, September 4 at 8 a.m. in the nurse’s office there. Finley students can re-qualify for fall participation on Monday and Tuesday, August 20-21 between 9-11 a.m. and on Wednesday and Thursday, September 5-6 during their lunch period. All Finley athletic teams will begin practicing on Thursday, September 6 at 3 p.m.
