KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — High school football fans in the Knoxville area may have to wait a little longer for kickoff on Friday with several schools opting to push back start times due to high heat.
According to the WATE 6 On Your Side Storm Team, heat indexes could climb into the triple digits on Friday.
