Sydney Smith shot par 72 to earn medalist honors and help Faith Lutheran’s girls golf team to victory in a Sunset League match at Highland Falls on Thursday.
Mojave
The computer — or maybe it’s just numbers pulled from a hat — used by the Clark County School District to create the prep football schedule typically spits out a few good matchups each week.
Randy Casas’ goal in the final 20 seconds of the match Wednesday lifted Las Vegas’ boys soccer team to a 2-1 win over visiting Liberty.
Ariana Reyes had two goals and an assist Wednesday to help Clark’s girls soccer team to a 3-2 win at Sierra Vista.
Lainey Waldman went 3-0 in singles Wednesday to help host Centennial’s girls tennis team to an 11-7 win over Shadow Ridge in a Sunset Region quarterfinal.
ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Jessica Rafay had 12 kills and 11 assists, and Danielle Amonica had six kills and 14 assists Tuesday to help Spring Valley’s girls volleyball team sweep host Mojave, 25-17, 25-18, 25-19.
Manny Jahuey scored his third goal of the match with one minute to play Monday to help Silverado’s boys soccer team earn a 3-3 tie with visiting Cheyenne.
Samantha Meyers scored twice Monday to lead Spring Valley’s girls soccer team to a 3-1 win at Clark.
Centennial’s girls cross country team couldn’t have had a better day Saturday.
Football games usually aren’t won or lost on the opening drive. But for a Mojave team struggling mightily on offense, marching down the field on their first possession Friday night made all the difference.
Arturo Bahena scored three goals Friday to lead Cimarron-Memorial’s boys soccer team to a 5-0 win over visiting Legacy.
The high school football season has followed a frighteningly familiar pattern for Mojave. Just like last season, the Rattlers opened Sunset League play with wins over Pahrump Valley and Sierra Vista before losing to Faith Lutheran.
The doubles teams of Miranda Sanders and Nina Dreyer, and Poleth Rodriguez and Sharrah Kenyon each went 2-0 on Wednesday as Mojave’s girls clinched the first postseason tennis berth in school history with an 11-5 win at Sierra Vista.
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.
