The schedule makers did the Lowry High School boys soccer team, as the Buckaroos faced one of their toughest stretches of the season. Lowry hosted West Wendover on Friday, Aug. 30, and lost 3-0 to the Wolverines, who were in the regional tournament last year as a 2A school. The 2A and 3A combine for soccer.
The Battle Mountain High School volleyball team picked up two wins in four matches over a two-week stretch, with three of those matches against the tougher teams in the Northern 2A. Battle Mountain traveled to Incline on Aug. 30, and lost in three sets. The Lady Longhorns took the Highlanders to the max in the opening set but lost 26-24. Incline closed out the day, winning the final two sets 25-19 and 25-12. Senior Stevlana Martinez led the way with five kills and five blocks, with Addison Matheus adding two kills.
It was a nine-goal week for the Pershing County High School girls soccer team. They lost two home games against Spring Creek 8-0 and Elko 10-0, but blanked White Pine (2-0) and West Wendover (7-0) on the road. The week started on Thursday against the visiting Spring Creek Spartans.
The home opener for the Battle Mountain High School football team was all but over before it got started. The Longhorns posted their second consecutive shutout, blanking Silver Stage 45-0 on Friday night at Tim Knight Field. Battle Mountain moved to 1-0 in the Northern 2A and 2-1 overall.
The Pershing volleyball team swept Coral Academy (25-9, 25-7, 25-15) and Sierra Lutheran (25-18, 25-14, 25-15) on the road last week. On Saturday, they hosted Incline. The game ran five sets and ended with the Mustangs on top (25-21, 16-25, 22-25, 25-14, 15-7). The Mustangs now stand at 16-3, overall, and 5-0 in the 2A.
The last time the Lowry High School girls golf team qualified for the state tournament as a tea, was back in 2021, when the tournament was shortened to 27 holes. If the first two Northern 3A tournaments are any indication, it looks like the Buckaroos will be playing at the state tournament at Dayton Valley Country Club in early October.
