Orange County school districts affected by poor air quality from the regional wildfires throughout the Southland continue to take a wait-and-see approach to whether football games will be played Thursday and Friday.

Outdoor athletic events continued to be postponed on Wednesday.

A decision is expected about noon Thursday to determine the outcome of the Anaheim Canyon game at Tustin. If it’s a no-go, it will be played Saturday at 5 p.m. If the Friday game between Cerritos and Beckman, also scheduled for Tustin High, is determined as unplayable per a noon decision on Friday, it will be played at 1 p.m. Saturday. Both are homecoming games.

Irvine, Capistrano Valley, Orange and Anaheim districts won’t make any decision regarding football until about noon on the day of the game. Representatives of Saddleback and Placentia-Yorba Linda were in meetings Wednesday afternoon.

Santa Margarita has canceled classes Thursday and rescheduled lower-level football games for Saturday. The fate of Friday’s varsity game between the Eagles and Orange Lutheran at Saddleback College will be determined Friday.
