There's always something special about winning the 4x400-meter relay at the end of a track and field meet. A year ago, the Carson High girls celebrated when they won the 4x400 at the Fallon Elks Invitational, and on Saturday, the Carson boys took their turn when the quartet of Taylor Bradshaw, David McMasters, Brandon Buonacorsi and Nick Schlager won to cap off their day at the 37th annual Fallon invite at Churchill County High's Edward Arciniega Athletic Complex.

There is no more reality at John L. Harvey Field. Just rename the place Fantasyland and be done with it. Only the utterly impossible, the ridiculously implausible will ever be possible again.

Two words came to Colby Blueberg's mind when he spoke about the Carson High baseball team's dramatic double header sweep of Fallon on Saturday afternoon -- confidence and relaxed.
"A couple of things didn't go our way today, but we just stayed confident and relaxed," Blueberg said after contributing to game-winning seventh-inning rallies that lifted the Senators to 4-3 and 2-1 Sierra League victories at Ron McNutt Field. "We were able to keep calm and make the plays."

Even after surging to a 6-0 lead in the home half of the first inning, the Carson High softball team wasn't ready to relax during the second game of its Sierra League double header against Fallon on Saturday afternoon.
The Senators never let their foot off the gas pedal, tacking on five runs in the third inning and four more runs in the fourth on their way to a 15-1 victory to salvage a split of the twin-bill. Fallon took an early lead and held on for a 4-3 win in the opener.

It may not show up in the conference standings, but the Western Nevada College softball team showed some significant progress while losing both ends of a double header at Salt Lake Community College on Saturday.
The Wildcats took undefeated Salt Lake the seven-inning distance in both games before losing 7-1 and 6-1 during the Scenic West Athletic Conference twin-bill at Bruin Field in Salt Lake City. The outcome was different from Friday, when the Wildcats lost 19-7 and 19-1.

Saturday: Game 1Final score

Let me preface this by saying the just-passed health care reform law provokes strong opinions on both sides, and I'm not going to attempt in this post to pass judgement one way or the other.

But it seems very clear that embattled Gov. Jim Gibbons is trying to use this issue to boost his reelection chances, to the detriment of the state.
