Ready? Set, Spike!

On Thursday, March 18, the Oasis Academy Varsity volleyball team played an away game against Virginia City. They unfortunately lost the game, their first loss all season. Currently the Lady Bighorns hold a record of 5-1, and currently hold second place in their division (1A-West). Both the JV and the Varsity team will be playing at home on Saturday the 27 at 11:00 am and 12:00 noon, and will be broadcast on the NFHS network. On Friday, March 19, the Lady Wave volleyball team played against Lowry’s Buckaroos at home. The JV team played first and won their game against the Buckaroos, playing in a three-set match as well. What is most impressive is the match never saw the third set. The JV team managed to out-play Lowry in the first two sets, giving them an easy victory. The first set ended with a final score of 25-18, and the chemistry shown on the court was noteworthy. The team seemed to click, as if they all had telepathic powers and were communicating silently with their minds. After a brief break, the team stormed the court and managed to keep Lowry from scoring as much as they did in the first set. With a final score of 25-16, the JV marched off the court and into the stands to stick around and cheer on their varsity team. The varsity team unfortunately did not win their game against Lowry. From the pre-game warm-up Lowry seemed more energetic and focused than CCHS did. Do not fear though, the Lady Wave definitely gave the Lady Buckaroos a run for their money. In an intense 5-set match, Churchill County never faltered in their efforts to beat Lowry. At the end of the first set, the score was 21-25, Lowry. The set was close, every time one team scored, the other was right on their heels. The communication was awesome, and the Lady Wave seemed really connected. The score of the second set was 17-25, Lowry. It seemed like the CCHS team had become too confident with their performance. The only time the communication was uniform on the court was right after they scored. Outside of that, they seemed dazed and confused and never really on the same page. In the following set, the Lady Wave seemed to have gotten their communication back and kept Lowry on their toes. Both teams appeared to also be playing against the referees all game. Bad calls were made against both teams. There was even a call made late game that created confusion for both the teams and the spectators. The refs were confused on the correct server for CCHS and caused quite the commotion on the court. After they cleared up the issue, the game was back on and the fight continued, but sadly it was not enough to win them a redemption set. The score of the third and final set of the night was 20-25, Lowry.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
