We’ve reached the unofficial halfway point of the prep football season, and I’m ready to hand out the Fieldies. My midseason awards usually include a free lunch and a T-shirt for the winners, but I’m saving money for a new pair of Jordans, so no dice this year.

Taylor Kornieck had three goals and an assist Monday to help Coronado’s girls soccer team to a 6-1 victory over visiting Foothill.
Rachel Klopfer had 35 kills, 14 digs and two aces Thursday as Green Valley’s girls volleyball team outlasted visiting Bonanza, 25-17, 18-25, 25-22, 26-28, 15-11.
I have been pretty rough on Silverado over the years. The Skyhawks have been the punch line numerous times in this space. But in honor of Yom Kippur this week, it’s time to atone for my mistakes. Here goes (clears throat): I’m sorry, Skyhawks.
Jose Lopez had three goals and two assists in the second half Monday to help Spring Valley’s boys soccer team to a 5-2 win at Sierra Vista.
Morgan Goldstein shot 2-under-par 70 at Las Vegas Municipal on Monday to lead Faith Lutheran’s girls golf team to a win in a Sunset League match.
The Centennial girls cross country team is a dominant force.
Angel Jamerson supplied 19 assists, 11 digs, seven kills and seven aces as Clark’s girls volleyball team rallied for a 17-25, 25-20, 25-22, 25-21 win over host Sunrise Mountain on Thursday.
Lost in the excitement last week of Rancho snapping its 30-game losing streak — for the record, that won’t be the only game the Rams win this season — Sunrise Mountain quietly reached a milestone of its own under second-year coach Chris Sawyers.
Jaylin Ellis had 16 kills and 21 digs Tuesday to help Palo Verde’s girls volleyball team outlast host Rancho, 25-21, 25-22, 18-25, 23-25, 15-10.
Hannah Goddard had 10 kills and seven aces Thursday as Arbor View’s girls volleyball team swept visiting Cheyenne, 25-10, 25-14, 25-12.
This is a celebration of great things in small packages, an ode to jockeys, half-popped popcorn kernels and Division I-A.
