Pahrump Valley High School tennis 2025.

The Pahrump Valley High School tennis team turned heads last Friday as the Trojans picked up their first victory of the season.

Traveling to Virgin Valley, the Trojans built off of their competitive performance last week at Bishop Gorman to defeat the Bulldogs 12-6.

Earning a league victory in their first opportunity of the season, the Trojans’ win made the long trip to Mesquite well worth it.

“Not giving up after losing to higher division foes and keeping their focus toward our division rivals helped us against Virgin Valley,” head coach Michael Dela Rosa said.

The boys team shined as the Trojans singles lineup dominated, winning every match to set the tone early. The doubles team of Bryce Dykstra and Juan Carlos Rodriguez showed some grit securing two crucial wins despite dropping the first set in each match. Ethan Johnson and Nicholas Watson added another point to seal the overall team win on Virgin Valley’s newly renovated courts.

The rotating combo squads of Taysom Christensen, Chase Hanson, and Everett Southwick are still battling for their first win of the season, but their continued effort and growing experience are promising signs for upcoming league matches to come.

On the girls’ side, singles stars Chanel Anthony and Nyomi Skinner went undefeated, each winning all three of their matches. Ally Amador also notched a win in her first match of the day. In doubles action, both Layla Burnell/Milly Khandpur and Aurora Bowers/Elise Eichner secured two wins each, contributing major points to the team’s overall performance.

Meanwhile, the younger doubles duos of Lily Gregory/Sara Miller and Jane Anson/Malynda Scheer continue to gain valuable match experience as they push for their first victories of the season.
