With smoky air socking in the Inland Northwest, fall sports teams throughout the area canceled outdoor practices Monday and have braced for more cancellations. The Greater Spokane League administrators last week adopted a policy to deal with unhealthy air conditions. “If the air quality is unhealthy, all outside practices for all schools in all sports are canceled,” GSL secretary Herb Rotchford said. The outdoor sports are allowed to go indoors to practice, Rotchford said. That has athletic directors from the GSL to the Great Northern League to the Northeast A and the Inland Empire League scrambling to coordinate practice times in gyms. In North Idaho, season openers in football for many teams are scheduled for Friday. With the likelihood of poor air quality lingering through the week, Coeur d’Alene and Lake City were checking to see if the Kibbie Dome at the University of Idaho would be available, LC athletic director Jim Winger said/Greg Lee, SR/NWPrepsNow.
