Pahrump Sports Cards had barely finished setting up when customers began pouring in, turning the shop’s soft opening into a bustling debut.
A dominant second-half surge from Coral Academy — led by senior Bella Robinson’s near triple-double — pushed the Falcons to a 42–30 road win Monday night, spoiling the Lady Trojans’ home opener.
Chaparral rolled to a 34-0 win Monday night, but the Lady Trojans walked away with momentum after forcing multiple turnovers and executing their sharpest offensive series of the year.
Riley Saldana’s poise in the final minutes powered Pahrump Valley to a gritty 41-36 win over defending Class 2A state champion Needles on Thursday night.
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.”
The road to state ended for one Nye County team. The Lady Trojans, the Sunset League champions and no. 1 seed, fell to second-seed Boulder City of the Sunrise League in five sets, 25-20, 25-22, 20-25, 23-25 and 15-11 at the 3A Southern Region playoffs in Boulder City.
Once again Beatty and Tonopah find themselves locked in battle in the 1A Southern League playoffs. The victor will go on to vie for the regional title and move on to state.
I rarely get riled up over sports. OK, I lied, but that happens mostly with NFL football and college football. For high school, I think I control myself well (My wife is snickering somewhere).
Beatty football went head-to-head against one of the best eight-man football teams in the country last week and found out why Pahranagat Valley (9-0 overall, 7-0 1A Southern) is ranked eighth in the nation according to a MaxPreps poll.
The Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association announced yesterday, late in the afternoon that it had disqualified Pahrump Valley’s girls soccer team from tournament activity and forfeited all of the Trojans games.
The Trojans boys soccer team played their senior game on Thursday against Western, losing 6-0.
The Trojans defense was no match for Jacob Leavitt, who was a one-man show for Moapa Valley, rushing for 197 yards. His four touchdown runs helped Moapa Valley defeat Pahrump Valley 40-14 in the first round of the 3A Southern Region football playoffs.
Bryce Odegard came in first place (16 minutes, 9.7 seconds) out of 64 runners on Friday to help his team with a second-place finish at the 3A Southern Region meet. This means the Trojans boys will be going to state as a team.
