Before the season begins and before first practice day all fields and not just football need to be examined for these things and treated if needed. And reinspected regularly. And this is everywhere - not just Corpus Christi. And I know this would be expensive but maybe players should be tested by doctors to see if they are alergic to things like this.

That is just awful...very sad.

The word I'm getting from my CC sources is the school district will be sued for neglect, and the law firm is well-known in the area for winning cases like this.

The boy is from Robstown.

there is a fast paced effort in south texas and maybe all over the state to attack the fire ants on practice fields and game fields as we speak. All for Two reasont
So this does not happen again and
So the districts can cover their butts to make sure they dont get sued as well.
