Nothing is clear in the Inland Valley League

Conditions aren’t getting any better in Moreno Valley, where a orange haze has filled the sky much of the day. The Santa Ana winds initially spared much of these communities from the smoke, but off-shore breezes are pushing it further inland.

Patrick McDaniel, boys’ athletic director at Moreno Valley, said the principals from the Inland Valley League schools would huddle Friday morning to decide the fate of the three games scheduled for that night.

Moreno Valley is slated to play seven miles away at Rancho Verde, where it’s homecoming week and the air quality was bad enough Thursday afternoon that they canceled the junior varsity game.

‘Hopefully, it’ll all push through,’ McDaniel said.

McDaniel added that if the games are not made up Saturday, they’ll likely be canceled. Rancho Verde could use the extra day to prepare for its nonleague game next Friday at Norco, its toughest opponent thus far.
