Churchill County High School celebrated a very busy Homecoming week. Despite the rain on Monday, quite the crowd gathered to watch the Powder Puff Flag Football game. The highly anticipated matchup ended with the Seniors shutting out the Juniors, 21-0. (CCHS senior runs for a touchdown during a Powder Puff game.)

 

 

 

On Friday, the Greenwave Volleyball Team took on Elko in a tough match, unfortunately losing in three sets. (Lady Wave’s Halle Johnson setting against Elko.)

During the halftime festivities, T-Mobile presented CCHS Athletics a check for $5,000 as part of their Friday Night 5G Lights campaign, and the Homecoming King and Queen were named.  (2024 CCHS Homecoming Homecoming Queen Maddison Keller and King Broden Pirkle.)

 

 

 

 

The highlight of the night was the football game against Sparks, in which the Greenwave Varsity easily defeated the Sparks Railroaders 43-7 with 209 passing yards, 212 receiving yards, and 124 rushing yards recorded.  Below: Carson Melendy returning interception during a varsity game.)

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
