BMHS volleyball knocked out of regional tournament


The Battle Mountain High School volleyball team saw its season end in the opening round of the Northern 2A Regional Championships in Incline with a three-set loss to the host Highlanders.

Incline, the No. 4 seed in the regional tournament defeated fifth-seeded Battle Mountain 25-18, 25-10, 25-12. The Longhorns finished the season 12-17 overall and 8-10 in the Northern 2A.

Incline followed that win, with a shocking upset of Pershing County on Saturday afternoon in the semifinals. Pershing County entered the regional championships as the top seed and an 18-0 record.

Yerington defeated Incline in the championship match and the two teams advance to this weekend’s state championships at North Valleys High School in Reno.
