FOOTBALL

The Salvation Army Red Kettles at Walmart on Topsy Lane will have a challenge between the Green Bay Packer’s fans and San Francisco 49ers fans Monday, Dec. 22 from 4 to 6 p.m. The Packers fans will be “bell ringing” at the grocery entrance and the 49er fans will be “bell ringing” at the household entrance.

The Salvation Army is not taking sides on this challenge, but is excited to see some of the local NFL fans come out and help them serve the community.

When Dejon Smith left home after school on Dec. 11, like any teen facing a snow day the following day, he told his parents he was headed out for the evening. He did not tell them where he was going or with whom he would be.

DeShawn and Taneka Smith, Dejon's parents, were concerned when, at the end of the evening, they hadn't heard from their son.

Happy Friday, Carson City, the holidays are upon us in full force! Hanukkah has begun and Christmas is less than a week away. Time to get your last minute shopping finished and get those yummy smelling goodies in the oven. There are still some fun things happening around town, so grab the kids or a special someone and have yourself a holly, jolly time.

'Tis the Season, Carson City! Holiday cheer is in the wind, and we have plenty of wind right now. This weekend is jam-packed with food and toy drives, concerts, and Santa-sightings, so bundle up and have a fun time enjoying our great city.

Hello, Carson City! The holiday season is in full swing with tree lightings, craft fairs, Santa sightings all around the area. Every week, I create a list of the fun stuff and events going on around the Carson City area for my Facebook page, I love Carson City. I follow the pages of local businesses and organizations, search website calendars, keep my ear to the ground, and compile a list of anything and everything going on in this community.

Saturday afternoon at Bishop Manogue High School the 2014 Northern Region football championship was underway. The Sierra League Champions were the Carson Senators and the High Desert Championships were the Reed Raiders and both are very good at the sport of football.

Carson High School seniors recently volunteered for the 2014 General elections in Carson City. Emely Lopez, Claudia Vazquez, Kimberly Torres, Karina Munoz, Maria Pacheco, Deanna Earwicker, and Amber Seifert spent the day at the polls welcoming and assisting voters. Each year, CHS government teachers work in conjunction with the Carson City Clerk-Recorder’s office to provide student volunteers for the elections. We’d like to wish out-going Clerk-Recorder Alan Glover the best of luck in his retirement and we look forward to continuing our relationship with that office as Ms.

Black Friday may be reserved for football games, leftovers and after Thanksgiving holiday shopping but in downtown Carson City, blades, hot chocolate and holiday music were the orders of the day for teens and families at the opening day of Arlington Square Skating Rink in Carson City.

Dozens of families made up hundreds of runners and walkers of all ages who met under sunny skies at the Governor’s Mansion in Carson City this Thanksgiving Day for the 2014 Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot.

The 8K, 5K and Kids Gobble Wobble Fun Run, hosted by St. Teresa of Avila Catholic School, was designed for those who wanted to get some exercise ahead of the parades, pies, football games and big Thanksgiving Day meals. See the video below.

Friday night at Carson High School, one of two semi final games were played to decide who would advance to the Northern Regional Championships as the Carson Senators took on the Reno Huskies. The contest would be the last home football game at Carson High School for some months with the Regional Championship already set to take place at Manogue Saturday, Nov. 29.

Welcome to Mallards Restaurant where it’s all about friends and family coming together to enjoy great food, family fun and each other’s company.

Food for Thought would like to thank the Carson High School Football Program for hosting an outstanding food drive. In effort to return some support to the community the football program wanted to do something that would have a great, positive impact during their bye week. A few ideas were tossed around before settling on Food For Thought as the organization they would like to help out.

Food For Thought is a local organization that provides weekend food for school aged children in the community that are chronically hungry.

Before the football games, the big meal, the parades and the pies, why not get in a little run in with a few of your neighbors from the community? Signups are underway for Carson City's 2014 Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot. It’s an event the entire family will enjoy and may even become a new Thanksgiving Day tradition.

Happy Friday, Carson City! We have survived 'HalloweeNevada' Day and now it's time to enjoy the autumn weather, warm drinks, good music, and the craft fair season.

Caden Lehman, a senior at Carson High School, an officer for the Capitol FFA program, and an officer in the Douglas-Carson High School Rodeo Club, recently had his biggest win doing what he loves. He is involved in Team Roping and Calf Roping and is a member of the American Cowboys Team Roping Association. 

Recently at the ACTRA National Finals in Reno at the Livestock Events Center, Caden won the Super 7 National Championship, landing him and his partner, Jack Curry of Gardnerville, each new Royal T 3-horse trailers, buckles, and $10,000 cash. 

It was another Friday Night Smackdown for the Carson High Senators on the football field, this time in Galena with Carson cutting loose on the Grizzlies with a 34-0 upset, souring their homecoming and firming up Carson's strengths heading into late fall high school football action. The Carson Senators are now 6 wins and two losses on the season.

Homecoming week 2014 at Carson High School said its last goodbye late last Saturday night. The week included bonfires, dances, football, royalty, flash mobs and just about everything in between.

Carson High School's annual homecoming has arrived. Kicking off the event-filled week was an assembly Tuesday where seniors got their first taste of what candidates they might want to vote for to represent as their 2014 Homecoming royalty.

This year's candidates are just as lively as ever. Candidates for Homecoming queen are: Abbey Dudley, Lindsay Hettrick, Bailie Zuber, Chantal Torres, Sarah Christl and Jessica Basa. King contestants are: Jared Hearn, Dylin Rooker, Nolan Shine, Fred Christensen, Casey Stevens and Kyle Kunz.

Energy sipping LED lights, along with an abundance of skylights and motion sensors that automatically switch off the lights when they aren't needed — referred to in the energy industry as "daylight harvesting" — are expected to reduce annual energy costs by about $110,700 at one of the newest warehouses in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center east of Sparks.

The annual tradition of Homecoming is upon us. There are many activities taking place this week, both athletic and non-athletic. Each day has a particular dress-up theme, a lunch time activity, and an evening time activity that students can participate. Tuesday’s dress up day is “crazy hat” day.

The Senators football team of Carson High School took on the Mustangs of Damonte Ranch High School under the Friday night southeast Reno lights.

This week's match up was the opening of league play throughout the northern region and it was "Pink Night" for students and parents to celebrate the first game of October and breast cancer awareness. The game was incredibly close from the opening kick off to the final whistle. In the end Carson was victorious.

It's almost that time of year again at Carson High School. That one week of school where everybody dresses like a fashion-less hippy, has wild date proposals and bonds the student body closer as a school. This of course would be the one and only Homecoming week.

This year's homecoming theme is "Around the World" and the date is set for October 14th-October 18th. It would appear that Homecoming is looking very promising thanks to the leadership of this year's Master of Ceremonies: Jared Hearn and Sarah Christl.

This week’s Carson High senior spotlight is on Tyler Torres. Tyler has a GPA of 4.62 and has increasingly challenged himself with honors and/or AP classes every year, earning academic letters the past two years. He is currently taking four AP classes in his senior year. Talented and well-rounded, Tyler has been in Chamber Choir since freshman year. He has also been a member of the National Honor Society for the past three years and Link Crew for two years. To further develop his leadership ability, Tyler has been involved in Boy Scouts since middle school.

Coming off a disappointing one-point loss at home, Carson football coach Blair Roman wanted nothing more than for his team to bounce back with enough heart to pick up a tough road win Friday at Hug.
The No. 5 Senators came through.
