BEATTY — The show must go on as they say in show business. The Beatty VFW Turkey Shoot went down as scheduled despite the town mourning the loss of Robert Revert, a former county commissioner and town resident for more than half a century.

Calling all shooters. The Beatty Veterans of Foreign Wars wants you to come out to the shooting range off of Highway 374 near Airport Road on November 12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

November kind of creeped up on me and I really didn’t feel that the fall sports season was coming to an end. Did you know it’s time for basketball season?

The need for speed comes in many forms and at the Pahrump Valley Speedway there’s a mini version that is growing in popularity.

Cyclocross is coming to Beatty on November 27 at Spicer Ranch for the Nevada Cyclocross State Championship.

This Veterans Day tribute is to honor six soldiers from the 2014 wrestling team that went into the service after graduating. Many students from PVHS have joined the military in the past few years and I am sorry we can’t recognize them all. This was coordinated with Trojans wrestling coach Craig Rieger and Peter Davis, who took the photos. If we missed somebody from the team that year we are sorry.

There are people that have a talent at a young age but never do anything to develop.

Beatty volleyball returns to state after beating Tonopah in a hard-fought match that went to five sets at Alamo on Saturday. The Hornets won 17-25, 25-20, 25-15, 17-25 and 15-13.

The coach wanted his team to just go out fighting.

The first mile at the state meet last Saturday was his fastest mile of the season for Trojans cross-country runner Bryce Odegard. It was too fast, and he knew he had to keep something in reserve. In the last 1,000 meters of the race he saw his opponent, William Fallini-Haas of Spring Creek, was breathing harder but so was he. He fell back a little and then he heard his uncle off to the side telling him, “to go.”
