It is a scene that both head coaches know well.

Driving Through the Darkness
My truck glides along a dark path called Interstate 15 between Glendale and Las Vegas. On both sides of me there is desert and the shadows of rocky hills. The sky is illuminated by the dim, white light of a full moon hanging high in the eastern sky.
The lights of vehicles, [...]

Showdown: Moapa to Host Virgin Valley

The top four teams in the 2A [...]

Calvary Chapel at Pahranagat Valley
We’re making the hour-and-a-half drive to the Pahranagat Valley, where the two undefeated football teams in the Southern 1A conference will joust.
(No they’re not going to mount horses and go after each other with blunted lances, although that would be cool. I’m just testing new words. Have any suggestions, let me know.)
The Panthers recorded an important 42-22 win against a [...]

Like that baby, I am intrigued.
I am intrigued by the following Southern Nevada football games coming up this weekend.
Beatty at Indian Springs & Round Mountain at Tonopah
These two games are clumped together, because Beatty and Round Mountain are in a similar boat.
Beatty thumped Lund twice, got thumped by Calvary Chapel and played [...]
