The Carson Chamber Singers, directed by Judy Monson, will present "The Stars Above the Hill" on Saturday as its 25th season concert.
The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Sarah Winnemucca Hall, in the Aspen Building at Western Nevada College, 2201 W. College Parkway.
The program includes sacred and secular works and features the world premier of David Dickau's "The Stars Above The Hill" conducted by the composer. The Carson Chamber Singers will be accompanied at piano by Nancy Mielke. Call (775) 883-4154.

Former Western Nevada College star Lance Ray has been putting up big numbers throughout his college career and his performance has earned him a spot in the country's most prestigious summer amateur baseball league.
Ray, a junior at the University of Kentucky, has signed to play this summer with the Yarmouth Dennis Red Sox in the Cape Cod League. Ray had a huge series this past weekend at Auburn to solidify his spot in the lineup for the Wildcats.

Former Western Nevada College star Lance Ray solidified his spot in the lineup for the University of Kentucky baseball team with a huge series this past weekend at No. 29 Auburn.
Ray, a junior, went 6-for-12 in the series with five doubles and his fourth home run of the season as Kentucky (23-17, 6-12 in the Southeastern Conference) lost two of three at Auburn. Ray, who played outfield and first base in the series, also had seven RBI in the series and now has seven doubles on the season.

University of Nevada outfielder Brian Barnett, who played at Western Nevada College the last two years, continued his hot month of April at the plate this past weekend against Fresno State at Peccole Park.

Former Western Nevada College standout Jerome Pena enjoyed a big day offensively as he helped No. 8 TCU to a 7-1 victory against UNLV on Sunday in Fort Worth, Texas.

Despite losing three of four games last weekend at College of Southern Idaho to fall two games behind College of Southern Nevada in the race for the Scenic West Athletic Conference regular season title, WNC coach D.J. Whittemore is still holding out hope his team can catch the Coyotes with eight games left.
"We're not out of it yet," Whittemore said. "Obviously we've got to take care of our business and we need a little help. We're still in the hunt for the title."

This time, it was no dream.
 

Ashley Hall hit a walkoff grand slam, her third home run of the game, to give the Western Nevada College softball team a 9-6 come-from-behind victory in its series finale against College of Southern Nevada on Saturday afternoon.

Twin Falls, Idaho, has always been a difficult place to play for the Western Nevada College baseball team.
Saturday was no exception, as the Wildcats had to settle for a split against College of Southern Idaho during their Scenic West Athletic Conference doubleheader. CSI won the opener 3-1 before the Wildcats came back to take the nightcap 2-1 at Skip Walker Field.

It won't show up in the box score or the Scenic West Athletic Conference standings, however, the Western Nevada College softball team possibly turned in its best performance of the season on Friday despite losing both ends of a doubleheader against College of Southern Nevada.

The Western Nevada College baseball team sustained a crash that will be tough to recover from on this day in the Scenic West Athletic Conference race after being swept at College of Southern Idaho, losing the opener 2-1 and the nightcap 3-0.
WNC (34-11) fell to 22-8 in the SWAC and if College of Southern Nevada swept Colorado Northwestern Community College as expected on Friday, also fell out of first place in the conference, one game behind the Coyotes.

There's still plenty of buzz over what happened this past weekend at John L. Harvey Field when the Western Nevada College baseball team pulled off a four-game sweep of College of Southern Nevada.

It's been a long road back, but the Western Nevada College baseball team has now gained an inside track to the Scenic West Athletic Conference regular season championship with three weeks to go.

Former Western Nevada College star Brian Barnett was named the Verizon Western Athletic Conference Hitter of the Week for his performance this past week for the University of Nevada baseball team against Seattle University and St. Mary's.

DAVID DICKAU TO HOLD CHORAL MASTERCLASS APRIL 30

How else to explain the Western Nevada College baseball team's four-game sweep of College of Southern Nevada this weekend. After two improbable comebacks in which WNC beat CSN in its final at bat both times 5-3 and 6-5 in 11 innings on Friday, the Wildcats did it again.

It was a repeat of Friday as the Western Nevada College softball team struggled in the opener of a doubleheader, but came back to give itself a chance to win the nightcap.
 

Former Western Nevada College star Brian Barnett went 2-for-5 with three runs and an RBI and also hit his 16th double of the season for the University of Nevada baseball team in its 22-0 win at Seattle.

To beat any conference leader, a team needs to bring its "A" Game to the field. Make that "A-plus" if you want to beat a team that is ranked No. 2 in the nation, and even then, it still doesn't hurt to have a little luck on your side.
The Western Nevada College baseball team was successful on both of those counts Friday afternoon to beat College of Southern Nevada twice on the last pitch of the game during a Scenic West Athletic Conference showdown.

The Western Nevada College softball team has had its share of close calls when it comes to breakthrough wins this season. But the Wildcats just haven't been able to pull off that big win and the trend continued on Friday.
 

Megan Hein is just the player that the Western Nevada College softball team is looking for to build its program: A local player who's a talented player and also a quality person.

A daunting task awaits the Western Nevada College baseball team when instate rival College of Southern Nevada comes to John L. Harvey Field this weekend.
CSN is the nation's No. 1 ranked team and has a three-game lead over the Wildcats in the race for the Scenic West Athletic Conference regular season title. The first place Coyotes are 21-3 in the SWAC while WNC (30-9) is 18-6.
 

Winning baseball games away from home in the Scenic West Athletic Conference is never an easy chore. And nothing came easy for Western Nevada College while taking both ends of its doubleheader against the College of Eastern Utah on Saturday.

Once again, Western Nevada College was one inning away from an important Scenic West Athletic Conference softball win. However, the Wildcats were unable to slam the door shut as North Idaho College rallied to score twice in the top of the seventh inning to pull out a 7-6 victory on Saturday afternoon. 

Wee Willie Keeler would have been pround of the Western Nevada College baseball team on Friday.

The North Idaho College softball team was downright offensive against Western Nevada College on Friday afternoon at Edmonds Sports Complex.

Losing three of four games last weekend was obviously not what Western Nevada College softball coach Leah Wentworth wanted to see. However, the coach hopes lessons learned from those losses against Colorado Northwestern Community College will come back to provide a silver lining for the rest of the season.The Wildcats (4-24, 5-29) gained experience in close games, losing three straight Rangely, Colo., that were decided by a total of six runs -- 3-1, 7-5 (on a walkoff home run in the seventh inning) and 4-2 -- before securing a 4-3 win in the finale on Saturday.

CARSON CHAMBER SINGERS TO PERFORM MAY 1
Concert features World Premiere of "The Stars Above the Hill" by David Dickau

Now that the Western Nevada College baseball team has taken over second place in the Scenic West Athleitc Conference, one could say that the Wildcats find themselves in a pennant race.
But WNC coach D.J. Whittemore isn' ready to declare his team is in a pennant race, yet. "It kind of feels like were chasing a ghost," said Whittemore about College of Southern Nevada.
