AHSAA games normally kick off at 7 p.m. Executive director Alvin Briggs has announced the teams can push back the times of their games if both coaches and the officials agree although no quarter can start after midnight and no game can continue past 12:30 a.m.

Mississippi is also allowing high school games to start at 8 p.m. instead of 7 p.m.

Parts of Alabama could see some of the hottest weather of the year this week, with multiple triple-digit temperatures forecast for the days ahead.
