playoffs

Western Nevada College and College of Southern Nevada will get together to revive their instate rivalry in the opening round of the Scenic West Athletic Conference playoffs on Thursday in a game scheduled to start at noon (MST) in Salt Lake City.

The road to the NIAA 4A State Championships is always difficult, but the Carson High softball team seems to have received as favorable path as possible. Two Northern 4A teams will advance to state and it figures that High Desert League champion Spanish Springs is the heavy favorite to earn one of those berths. And since Carson isn't in the Cougars' bracket, the Senators could be one of the darkhorses to grab that second spot to state.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE -- The Carson High softball team likes the position it's in heading into the Northern 4A playoffs.

CHS officially clinched a berth in the postseason with a 10-2 win over South Tahoe in the opener of a doubleheader on Friday and went on to win the second game as well, 5-0. Carson knew it would have third-place in the Sierra League locked up with a win in the opener after losses by Bishop Manogue and Fallon on Thursday.

Feather River College and Carson High graduate Kyle Stone will begin a new season on Friday when the California state community college baseball playoffs get under way.

Dodging through snow flurries in a chase for postseason berth. It must be a playoff race on a "typical" spring day in Northern Nevada.
 
The Carson High softball team took one step closer to realizing its goal of qualifying for the Northern 4A playoffs by winning the opener of a doubleheader against Manogue, 7-2, on Wednesday at CHS. The second game was called in the bottom of the fourth inning with Manogue leading 4-3 due to heavy snow flurries that began to fall.

RENO – For the Carson High baseball team, the heat is on. But to CHS coach Cody Farnworth, the heat is always on.
"It's on every week," said Farnworth after his team was swept in a doubleheader on Saturday at Galena, losing the opener 10-1 and the nightcap 8-5. "It doesn't change."

A new season between two old rivals will begin on Thursday afternoon when the Carson High softball team visits Douglas for the opener of a three-game Sierra League softball series in Minden.

They are the underdogs. And that's the position that the Carson High boys and girls basketball teams like as they enter the Northern 4A playoffs.

To paraphrase Vince Lombardi, this wasn't just an important game, it was the most important game.

Especially after Carson High's struggles from the floor, it would have been a finish for the ages.
