I slow-charged the blogging batteries in December as the Nevada winter sports world geared up for league play. I spent that time re-learning what it is like to not write something every other day.
As hard as it was to rip myself from hibernation, I think I’m ready to write something.
The first games we’ll cover is somewhat by default. The Corolla is acting up (she’s a little tired from the heavy rural Nevada driving), so we’re taking the car to the homeland for a tune-up.
Meanwhile, some of the top 1A girls and boys basketball teams are playing Friday night as Pahranagat Valley hosts Mountain View.
On the girls end, the teams have near identical records. Both the Panthers and the Saints are 2-0 in league play, while PV is 14-3 overall to MV’s 13-4. They’re also ranked 1 and 2 respectively in NevadaPrep’s rankings.
As for the boys, the Panthers are 1-1 in league play and 10-4 overall. Mountain View is 2-0 in league but just 7-9 overall.
This weekend is a huge test for the Saints. On Saturday the team takes on ridiculously-good Lake Mead (2-0, 18-1) at Mountain View. The Panthers were punished by the Eagles in Alamo last week 59-36. Somebody really has to figure out something it seems, because at this point Lake Mead is looking pretty poised to ramrod its way to the title.
We’ll be there Friday with a notepad, cellphone, and camcorder. You’ll have your live updates, recaps on NevadaPrep, and some postgame thoughts and video footage the next day.
Charlotte Hsu of the Las Vegas Sun will follow us to Alamo to see what Southern Nevada Sports is all about and to watch me fumble around as I attempt to be a journalist.
Your thoughts on how the basketball season in any of the leagues is going so far are welcome.
Back to NevadaPrep
