Middle School Volleyball Teams Off to a Strong Start

The middle school volleyball season is off to an exciting beginning as both the 7th and 8th-grade teams have delivered impressive performances in their early matchups.

The teams played over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend at a tournament in Yerington, where they faced strong competition from schools across the region. The 8th-grade squad put together a solid showing, finishing the tournament with a 2–1 record. The 7th-grade team dominated the court, sweeping all their opponents to earn a perfect 3–0 record in tournament play.

Building on that momentum, both teams returned home to face Pershing County Middle School. The 7th-grade team won three competitive sets to defeat the Colts, while the 8th-grade team secured a decisive two-set win. The victories highlighted the teams’ continued growth, strong serving, and improved communication on the court.

The teams now prepare for upcoming matches against Coral Academy, Pyramid Lake, and CCMS, hoping to continue their winning ways and build on an already impressive start to the season. The Bighorns are coached by Jalana Bell, Stacie Bogdanowicz, and Shayna Byrd.

Oasis Basketball Midway Through Season

As the winter sports season reaches its midpoint, Oasis Academy basketball continues to show determination and growth on both sides of the program.

The Oasis girls’ team has been in a bright spot this season, riding an impressive six-game winning streak. Their hard work and chemistry on and off the court have paid off, placing them third in the competitive 2A North standings. With strong defense, unselfish play, and consistent effort, the Lady Bighorns have established themselves as a team to watch as the second half of the season unfolds.

On the boys’ side, the season has presented challenges, as the team sits in ninth in the 2A North. Despite the record, the Oasis boys have continued to compete, gain experience, and show resilience against tough opponents. With a new coaching staff and plenty of season still ahead, the focus remains on development, teamwork, and finishing strong.

The team’s next home game at Venturacci Gym is Jan. 28 against Pershing County. JV girls’ tip-off at 3 p.m.
