Spanish Springs’ win streak halted

The Cougars’ 10-game winning streak came to a close on Saturday morning, but not with a loss.

Spanish Springs scored two second-half goals at North Valleys to salvage a 2-2 draw. Jose Estrada scored the equalizer with one minute left in regulation.

The Cougs now sit at 10-2-1, 10-2-1 atop the High Desert League. The Panthers moved to 7-5-3, 7-3-3 – remaining seven points back of the Cougars.

Anibal Gonzales pulled Spanish Springs within a goal after North Valleys led 2-0 at the half.

The Cougars have three games remaining in the regular season schedule, starting Wednesday with their final home game of the season, against Hug (7-5-2, 7-4-2).

A win would give Spanish Springs the outright league title.

Sparks rebounds

The Railroaders suffered just the second defeat of their season Friday night at Elko and rebounded on Saturday with a 3-2 win at Spring Creek.

The Spartans had plenty of time to tie the game late as the officials awarded 18 minutes of extended time.

Sparks returns home on Wednesday to play Fallon. The Railroaders beat the Greenwave 10-1 last month.

Raiders edged by Huskies

Reed’s outside hopes of sneaking into the postseason ended on Saturday with a 1-0 home loss to Reno.

The Raiders’ fourth straight loss dropped their record to 2-10-2, 2-10-1 in the 4A North, 12 points back of the Huskies (6-5-2 in 4A North) for the fourth and final playoff spot with just three games remaining.

Reed will start the stretch of its final three games of the season on Wednesday at home against McQueen.

The Lancers are one of the two teams the Raiders have beaten this year.

Railroaders’ slide continues

Sparks finished a rough 72 hours on Saturday with a 3-0 home loss to Elko.
