Outside high school sporting events canceled

Citing air quality concerns, the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association has canceled tonight’s high school sports. Soccer and tennis matches in Carson City, Douglas and Washoe counties were canceled.

Football practice has been held indoors along most of the Sierra’s eastern front since smoke from the fire at Yosemite National Park more than 100 miles away began to thicken on Aug. 22.

Wednesday’s games are still planned, officials said.
