A Truckee win over Elko during Fernley’s bye week kept the Vaqueros in the hunt for the No. 1 seed. A win over Fallon, followed by victories against Lowry and Dayton, could secure the top seed if Fallon beats Elko next week. Even a loss to Fallon could still allow Fernley to earn a home playoff game depending on remaining results.Article author: Robert Perea Article upload date: 10/09/2025
