The CCHS Greenwave varsity football team put up a tough fight against the Elko High School Indians on Friday, Oct. 17, but ultimately fell just short in a 31–28 loss. The hard-fought matchup marked Fallon’s first defeat of the season, ending an impressive eight-game winning streak.
Despite the setback, the Greenwave remains ranked No. 1 in Nevada 3A football with an 8–1 record and hold the No. 5 spot statewide.
Elko came out strong, scoring two long-yard touchdowns in the first quarter to take an early lead. From there, the game turned into a back-and-forth battle of grit and determination. Warrior Field was electric as both teams’ defenses dug in and the score stayed tight until the final minutes.
Fallon showed the same tenacity and energy that has defined their season but couldn’t quite close the gap from that early deficit.
The Greenwave now turns their focus to the final game of the regular season, a home matchup against the Lowry Buckaroos on Friday, Oct. 24, at 7 p.m. Fans are encouraged to pack the stands and show their support as the team heads into the postseason with eyes still firmly on the championship.
