The Douglas High volleyball and girls' soccer teams will be chasing state titles this weekend, but the road for each will be about as tough as it can get.
I'm two days late and I don't have a ton to say. I did feel the need to post the few blurbs I did come up with last week, so without further delay, here they are:
Without question, Bethany Wurster started cementing her legacy at Douglas High School the moment she first stepped on a golf course as a high school student-athlete in the fall of 2007.
20-2-2 overall, 12-2-2 Sierra League (Combined games with high Desert), 8-2-1 vs. Sierra League opponents, 6-0-1 vs. High Desert League opponents, 7-1-1 home, 7-1-1 away, 6-0-0 neutral, 19-2-2 vs. Northern Nevada teams.
1-14-5 overall, 1-12-3 Sierra League (combined games with High Desert), 1-7-2 vs. Sierra League, 0-5-1 vs. High Desert. 0-6-3 home, 1-7-1 away, 0-1-1 neutral, 1-12-4 vs. Northern Nevada teams.
34-2 overall, 16-0 Northern 4A, 12-0 vs. Sierra League, 7-0 vs. High Desert League, 10-1 home, 9-0 away, 15-1 neutral, 21-1 vs. Northern Nevada teams, 89-12 games played.
4-6 overall, 4-4 Northern 4A, 3-2 home, 1-4 away, 0-0 neutral, 4-6 vs. Northern Nevada teams.
RENO -- The Douglas girls' soccer team edged Galena 2-1 to win its second consecutive regional title at Damonte Ranch Saturday night.
For the first time in nine years, the Douglas Tigers are regional champs in volleyball.
RENO - One of the hardest things to do in sport is beat a team three times in the same year.
If the Douglas football team never has to see another game decided on a late play at the goal line, that'll be just fine with the Tigers.
The Nevada Wolf Pack's defense apparently assumed it had earned a little vacation in the second half last Saturday night.
Sports fodder for a Friday morning . . . The Nevada Wolf Pack football team looks bored. They have come out of the locker room the last five games with a yawn, gone through the motions and sleepwalked their way to four victories.
They say the playoffs are the start of a new season. Everyone is 0-0 and anything can happen.
Lookin at Lucky, the race horse owned by Carson Valley Inn and Bodines owner Mike Pegram, will try to continue its banner year Saturday at the Breeders' Cup Classic at Churchill Downs in Kentucky.
