After years of waiting for official recognition, the Pahrump Valley High School boys volleyball team finally took the court this spring as an NIAA-sanctioned program.

PVHS track and field closed out the 2026 season with a series of record-breaking performances and podium finishes at the NIAA Class 3A state championships in Sparks.

Competitors battled through warm temperatures as players, families and fans gathered for an afternoon of horseshoes, food and community fellowship in Henderson.

Behind a community-wide sendoff and a dominant tournament performance capped by a 12–1 championship victory over Lowry, the Lady Trojans captured their fifth Class 3A state softball title.

The Trojans stranded runners in scoring position, survived a controversial balk call and pushed Virgin Valley through 12 exhausting innings before finally falling 4-3 in a heartbreaking Class 3A Southern Regional elimination game on May 8 in Boulder City.

After a standout 2026 year including a strong showing at the Class 3A State Tournament, four members of the PVHS boys golf team earned All-Southern Nevada honors over the weekend.

The Trojans battled extreme desert heat and record-tying temperatures at Boulder Creek Golf Club during the 2026 Class 3A Boys Golf State Championship in Boulder City.

The PVHS boys golf team kept its season alive last week at Mountain Falls Golf Course, using a strong showing at home to secure a third-place finish and qualify for the Class 3A State Tournament.

The Lady Trojans delivered a powerful postseason run but their push for a regional title ended in gut-wrenching fashion with a walk-off loss in the final inning against Virgin Valley.

The boys volleyball team capped off its regular season Apr. 29 by sweeping American Heritage Academy 3-0 on senior night in front of a packed home crowd.

The Trojans battled through one of the toughest schedules in the Class 3A Southern Mountain League this season, finishing 14-13 while securing third place in their first year under head coach Drew Middleton.

The Lady Trojans delivered a dominant regular season, finishing undefeated in league play for the first time since the 2018–2019 campaign.

When the dust settled in Beatty, Mark Kaczmarek and Christy Russell claimed top honors in their respective classes, highlighting a strong field and an energetic start to the year’s tournament schedule.

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.
