UNLV roundup: Mack paces women’s golf team in opener

UNLV sophomore Polly Mack had six birdies en route to an even-par 144, tying for 19th through two rounds of the Rebels’ season-opening Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational women’s golf tournament Monday.

 
Rams roll Raiders 33-13 to spoil Jon Gruden’s debut

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr tossed three interceptions, the last of which was returned for a touchdown, as the offense failed to score in the second half of a 33-13 season-opening loss Monday evening to the Los Angeles Rams at the Oakland-Alameda County Colisuem.

Taxpayers abused by school lawsuits that cost millions

It is a travesty that taxpayers are the ones paying for the actions of employees of the Clark County School District (“CCSD may settle cases,” Friday Review-Journal).
