Baseball’s non-league contest Tuesday against Canyon Springs was more than just another non-chalant exhibition — It marked the last time these boys will round the bases at Rod Poteete Field.
The Pahrump Valley Lady Trojans wasted no time asserting dominance, run-ruling The Meadows 15-0 in just three innings behind a no-hit performance from junior Evalenne Armendariz.
The Lady Trojans’ 12-game win streak came to an end Saturday with a narrow 3-2 loss to Coronado, but the defeat may prove valuable as the team prepares for its postseason run.
A routine school day turned into a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Pahrump Valley High School football players, who not only met the Las Vegas Raiders’ No. 1 draft pick but also saw their program receive a surprise $20,000 equipment donation during the team’s ‘Festival of Football’ draft event in Henderson.
It was billed as a Celebration of Life for Dusty Park, and much of the afternoon felt like a celebration. There was laughter and sharing stories among the several hundred people who gathered Sunday at Pahrump Valley Speedway to remember him.
Pahrump Valley High School baseball players learned their season ended because of the COVID-19 pandemic in early March while they were playing in a tournament in Arizona.

Perhaps you have heard the phrase, “Shut up and dribble” aimed at NBA players who refused to play last week in protest of police brutality and systemic racism after the shooting of Jacob Blake, but there is nothing new about mixing sports and movements for social justice.
Some time last year, when I was going to use a couple of quotes from Dusty Park for a story, I checked with him to make sure he was still president of the Junior Trojans Soccer Club, purely for identification purposes.
Joel Dean tacked on three more points to his lead in the Sport Mod class with his Aug. 15 victory at Pahrump Valley Speedway.
Apparently, in a horseshoes tournament, it’s better to be a sponsor than the host.
