The Mustangs start the new year in Yerington on Friday, Jan.7. Next, they’ll host a couple of games.
Lovelock hosts the Silver Stage Nighthawks on Saturday, Jan. 8. The JV girls will sit this one out since Stage does not have a JV girls team. The JV boys start at 12:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Jan. 11, the varsity teams host Oasis Academy. The girls start at 4:30 p.m. The boys tip off at 6 p.m.
