Rocket League and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Kenai and SoHi were scheduled to play games on Thursday for Rocket League and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but games were postponed because of a closure of central Kenai Peninsula schools by the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District in response to a winter storm that dumped inches of snow and rain Wednesday night.
Before the accounting for Week 7 games which were played by other schools, in Rocket League, SoHi sits at eighth in the California Region and Kenai at 26th.
In Mario Kart, SoHi is third in the Coastal Region and has qualified for the playoffs. Kenai is fourth and hasn’t yet secured a berth. Nikiski is seventh.
