Here is a look at this week’s coaches polls in boys and girls soccer.
Palo Verde
Here are the all-league and all-region teams, as selected by coaches.
T.J. Blanchard had 26 kills on Thursday to lead Mojave to a 25-19, 21-25, 22-25, 25-16, 15-12 boys volleyball victory over host Boulder City.
Tyler Edlefsen and Trajan Houston each won two individual events Saturday at Pavilion to lead Palo Verde’s boys swimming team to a 213-70 win over Faith Lutheran.
Allison Wiegand won two individual events on Saturday to lead Silverado’s girls swimming team to a 116-85 victory over Canyon Springs at Multi-Generational.
Palo Verde’s Makena Martin was 3-for-4 with two doubles and three RBIs Wednesday as the host Panthers nipped Shadow Ridge in softball, 5-4.
Arbor View’s Keith Williams led at the front of a pack of five runners early. Eventually, he managed to hold off PahrumpValley’s Bryce Odegard and Centennial’s Alexander Miller in the final quarter mile, putting in a good finishing kick to cross the line in 16 minutes and 13 seconds.
Taylor Okamura singled home Erica Hardy with the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning Friday, as Coronado’s softball team edged visiting Rancho 2-1 to remain undefeated in the Class 4A Sunrise League.
Richard Mascarenas entered the game with the bases loaded and nobody out in the seventh for Durango on Friday, and got a flyball and a double play to lock down the save in a 3-2 road win over Pahrump Valley.
Las Vegas’ softball team took advantage of an error to score the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning, and the host Wildcats edged Basic 4-3 on Tuesday.
Lasith Narasinghe went 3-for-3 with a home run, two runs and three RBIs as Cimarron-Memorial’s baseball team scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to break a 4-4 tie and defeat visiting Shadow Ridge, 8-4 on Tuesday.
Jalen Malone tipped in Reggie Ingram’s miss with a second left in overtime Friday to give Eldorado’s boys basketball team a 68-67 home victory over Mojave.
Anna Dobbins dished out 31 assists, and Adriana Rios had 11 kills and eight digs to help Las Vegas’ girls volleyball team to a 25-2, 25-14, 22-25, 23-25, 15-6 win over host Valley on Wednesday.
Sure enough, league play in the Class 4A Sunset Region and Class 3A starts this week, the true indicator that summer is done. Even Bishop Gorman is taking a break from irking out-of-state fanbases to play a Southwest League contest against Bonanza. (I didn’t include that game in my picks, but, spoiler alert, Gorman is going to win.)
