High School Sports

Today, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak announced that he will be issuing an Emergency Directive lifting restrictions on youth and adult sports and adjusting the COVID-19 statewide guidance on sports.

Fall high school sports are now temporarily postponed in Carson City, Lyon, Douglas and Storey counties as well as the rest of Nevada. State playoffs are not expected to take place this year, as well. The Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association announced Thursday that all fall sports in Nevada will be played in March of 2021 to lower the spread of COVID-19.

CARSON CITY — Carson High School Senior Bella Kordonowy, 18, signed with the University of Nevada for Softball earlier Tuesday morning during her lunch break in the school’s Morse Burley Gym.

A referee must end a high school football game early in the fourth quarter after multiple personal foul calls for cheap shots and a slew of profanities being hurled across the grid iron, causing the visiting team to be escorted by police to their buses.

Following are comments I wrote 01/04/2017 but was unable to give at the BOS Meeting as I was home sick with a cold. Given the article in the Nevada Appeal today, I believe they are still timely:

So, my brother, Rex, and I were talking the other day about whether or not I was going to be attending the next Board of Supervisors (BOS) meeting. I told him that after the Vintage at Kings Canyon development was shoved down our throats, I didn’t have anything new to make public comment on, but was sure that something would come along.

Caroline Gabica slid activated hand warmers into her boots, picked up a bag of footballs and followed the coach out onto the field during the playoff game between Carson and Reed high schools in November. Soon Gabica, manager for the Carson High School Senators football team, was back on the sidelines, taping up the injured fingers of a player who got tangled up with another player’s face mask.

Carson Now is looking for a couple of people who can cover high school sports and entertainment events in Carson City.

For high school sports, ideally we would like to find someone who is involved at Carson High School (like a student or parent) who can take photos, report game scores and write up a few brief news items each week. We also want to expand to other sporting events outside of the high school, as well as any non-sports news coming out of our local schools.

This past year and a half has been like a rocket ride for us at Carson Now.

Our readership has exploded to the point where we are now the most visited news website for local Carson City readers. We have also seen rising interest in advertising from local businesses, reflective of the increase in traffic as well as an improving economy.

by NICHOLAS STACK The Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association (NIAA) is currently in the process of passing a document that would give transgender student athletes the option of participating in high school sports in the state. The name of the document...

The NIAA has a problem. They forget that they are running high school sports and not professional organizations. This is to tell them that giving exclusive broadcasting rights of all mediums to Gustin Sports Productions is beyond absurd. This is Nevada, where high school sports are not overwhelmingly huge. This is all about fun here not about money like some seem to think.

What are some high schools thinking? Some high schools around the nation are lowering or have already lowered the Grade Point Average (GPA) requirements for their student-athletes, and some go as low as 1.6 (a “D” average). This is absolutely absurd to me. I watched a show on ESPN about this and it left me fuming. I cannot believe that schools are so lazy to teach their pupils. They are indirectly saying: “Students struggle so we are not going to work to get them better.”

Sports fodder for a Friday morning . . . The Fallon Greenwave's phenomenal state tournament success last week is one of the best stories to hit Nevada high school sports in a very long time. The Gr...

Carson High School sports teams have emerged this fall as major contenders in their respective leagues, with more victories to report this morning. Carsonsports.com gives full coverage to Senator wins on Thursday in volleyball and tennis matches.

Carson High remained in the top five in the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association's Award of Excellence standings after the winter sports season.
