SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton has rapidly made landfall on Florida’s Gulf Coast, creating dire conditions as it approaches communities. Precautions were taken, with ambulances prepped for evacuations in Sarasota. The storm’s destructive potential raises concerns, and President Biden pledged federal assistance to support Florida in pumping floodwaters, restoring power, and clearing debris. He urged residents to seek safer shelter, emphasizing that minor relocations could be life-saving. With the Tampa area facing its strongest hurricane in over a century, officials are particularly wary of deadly storm surges and intense hurricane-force winds.

Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida as a Category 3 storm with winds of 120 mph as it roared ashore near Siesta Key.

SUMMARY: During a hot game, a coach collapsed unexpectedly, prompting quick action from Coach Clancy and others who were trained to handle heat exhaustion. Thanks to the Arkansas Activities Association’s training, which educates coaches on heat illness every three years, they quickly removed the coach from the field, prepared an ice bath, and had an AED on standby. Paramedics arrived, and the coach made a full recovery, even returning by the game’s end. Clancy expressed relief and pride in the training’s effectiveness, reinforcing the importance of preparedness for such critical situations in sports.

One Bryant football coach put his training to the test when he quickly jumped into action to help another coach who was having a medical emergency on the field.
