Sixty-seven high school student-athletes in the United States died from EHS between 1982 and 2022, the majority of them football players. Douglas Casa has advocated for better high school sport safety policies for 15 years as the CEO of the Korey Stringer Institute. “I think 25 years from now, high school football will be a spring sport instead of a fall sport,” Casa said. At Denham Springs High School, Roberson later learned that best practices weren’t followed the day of Hidalgo’s heat stroke.
