CARSON – Reno wasn’t even supposed to be here. So, it had nothing to lose. Nine seniors graduated from last year’s team that fell in the regional title game to Carson. Few expected the Huskies to return to the same game just one year later. Yet, that’s exactly where Matt Ochs’ team found itself on Saturday night, this time against Bishop Manogue. And this time, the … [Read more...]
Manogue girls rout Reno for third-straight regional title
CARSON – It was hard to miss Bishop Manogue coach Carlnel Wiley before, throughout and after Saturday’s 4A North title game. He rocked a blaring green suit that appeared to illuminate. He may want to pack it with him to Las Vegas next week. “It’s the suit, baby,” he said after his squad dismantled Reno 65-32 for its third-consecutive regional title. The Miners … [Read more...]
Raiders, Cougars stuffed in semifinals
CARSON – Reed allowed Bishop Manogue to hit 10 triples in Friday night’s 4A North semifinal and saw its season come to a close, 62-45. The Raiders (19-6) were outscored by 18 points from beyond the arc in the 17-point defeat. “That’s your offense, shooting threes. That’s what their offense is,” Reed coach Sara Schopper-Ramirez said. “When (Katie) Turner drives, everybody … [Read more...]
Amantia named next Reed football coach
Howren’s replacement brings 14 years of head coaching experience in Northern Nevada It’s not hyperbole to say that when Ernie Howren stepped down on Jan. 10, the Reed football coaching vacancy became one of the most appealing in the nation. The overwhelming number of applicants affirmed the notion. Coaches sent waves of emails. Voicemail boxes filled. Some even … [Read more...]
Cougs suffer crushing semifinal defeat
CARSON – At first glance, it would be easy to say Spanish Springs lost because Aidan Cantwell hit a game-winning triple inside of 10 seconds left. Cantwell’s three ball lifted Bishop Manogue over Spanish Springs, 54-51, in Thursday night’s 4A North semifinal and turned away a herculean effort from Marcus Loadholt. That’s how the Cougs lost. That’s now why they … [Read more...]
Cougs, Raiders advance to 4A North semis
MINDEN - The last time the Cougars were in the postseason (2014), they opened with an upset road win as a three seed at second-seeded Douglas. History repeated itself on Wednesday night. Spanish Springs went to back to Minden and once again ended the Tigers season with a 60-50 quarterfinal victory. Calling it an “upset” may be a stretch though. The Cougars improved … [Read more...]
Williams not blinded by national spotlight at UConn
Reed grad maintains high-school humility despite emerging as one of nation's premier players When Gabby Williams graduated from Reed in 2014 and headed to UConn to play for legendary coach Geno Auriemma, she had an idea what she was getting into. At least she thought she did. At that point, Auriemma and the Huskies had just won their ninth national title. It was … [Read more...]
Tuesday Hoops: Raiders bounced, Cougs cool Tigers
RENO – It was over early. It was over before the Reed boys trailed 41-15 late in the second quarter. It was over before the Raiders fell in a 19-2 hole to start. In fact, it was likely over before the starting lineups were announced. Playing without their two leading scorers, the third-seeded Raiders (8-17) didn’t have much of a chance against the second-seeded Miners … [Read more...]
