Pahrump Valley’s summer basketball season is underway, but Coach Toby Henry isn’t measuring success by wins and losses. The team’s multi-sport athletes are using June’s competition to gain experience.
The Mountain Falls Women’s Golf Association has repeated as champions of the Women’s Southern Nevada Golf Association Net Championship, defeating Spanish Trail Country Club 8–4 on May 21 at Arroyo Golf Club.
Local 4-H Robotics program is investing in its future through advanced engineering training, expanded programming efforts and a packed summer camp.
With most of last season’s roster returning and a full 18-game schedule on the horizon, the Trojans used last week’s summer camp to sharpen their skills and continue building a stronger program.
Ask anyone in Beatty if they thought its team would be that close to beating Spring Mountain last week, and they would have probably chuckled. Beatty faced the Spring Mountain Eagles last Friday and lost a tough defensive game, 16-0. The game came down to turnovers.
The Lady Trojans had their first home league match of the season last Thursday at Mountain Falls. The team finished third out of four teams.
The Trojans had a tough Friday night against the Mojave Rattlers and posted a 50 to 6 loss. It was the team’s second road game in a row.
The Trojans fell to 0-3 after losing to the Clark Chargers on Friday afternoon, 3-2. Clark was one of the conference leaders last year and came to Pahrump positive they would win.
The cross country team had two meets last week. On Wednesday they had a Sunset League meet at Village Green in Las Vegas and then went to a power-packed invitational at Red Rock. The boys and girls both finished in third at the league match. For the boys, Clark was first with Faith Lutheran in second. Chase Wood had the fastest time for the boys, finishing 17:45 and Filmon Fre for Clark finished second with a time of 17:46.
If the Trojans boys soccer team needs a win at the end of the season to make the playoffs, then this past week may come back to haunt them. On Monday, the Adelson boys soccer team came to play a game. The Schedule said it was a league game, but the Trojans were confused and believed otherwise.
The Trojans take on the Mojave Rattlers in Las Vegas. This will be Pahrump’s true test of what kind of team they have. Mojave is coming off two solid wins. Their first win was against a team called Sky View from Idaho. The Rattlers went up north along with Faith Lutheran to play in a tournament. The team beat Sky View 48-40 in a shoot-out.
The Lady Trojans soccer team won its fourth game in a row and its first league game against Mojave, 8-0. The Trojans scored five goals in the first 15 minutes of the game.
James Robertson is the new football coach at Beatty. Last year he was the assistant coach under Leo Verzilli so he is no stranger to the territory and before that he was teaching up at Round Mountain. Robertson teaches special education at the high school. This year he will coach football in the fall and baseball in the spring.
The Lady Trojans had their home opener against the Sierra Vista Mountain Lions, which was their first league game. The match went four games with the Trojans losing 3-1.
