Nevada’s basketball coach compared his latest transfer to star player Jordan Caroline.

CHS Social Studies teacher Angila Golik, along with teachers Curtis Kortemeier, Mike Malley and John Martin, and a few other teachers, wanting to help the fire victims in Paradise, Calif. have donated completed art pieces to be raffled among teachers and the Carson City community since many of them know someone affected by the fire.

As he so often seems to with the game on the line, Nevada’s Jordan Caroline came up big in the clutch again. Caroline led all scorers with 21 points, including 12 in the second half as the Wolf Pack overcame a strong effort from the visiting South Dakota State Jackrabbits to prevail 72-68.
