Mattoon High School football preps to start their season this Friday, but their game might start a little later than normal.
The school district is adjusting the start time for the game due to the heat.
The district said they have pushed back kickoff to no earlier than 7:30 pm.
Mattoon enters this season after ending last season with a 2-7 record on the year and going 0-5 in conference play, according to Max Preps.
The first game in the Greenwave's 9 game schedule will be against MacArthur High School at home.
Mattoon will take on conference rivals, the Charleston Trojans on October 4th at Eastern Illinois' O'Brien Field.
