Boys basketball: Vaqueros face key game in Fallon
Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter

After coming up empty in two games last weekend, the Fernley boys basketball team faces a key contest in its quest for a favorable playoff seed Tuesday in Fallon.

The Vaqueros fell into a third-place tie with Fallon at 6-4 in league play with losses last week at Elko and Spring Creek. Having already lost to Fallon in the first meeting of the season, the Vaqueros need a win over the Greenwave to have a chance at any potential tiebreakers for playoff seeding.

At Elko last Friday, the Vaqueros suffered an early knockout blow, trailing 16-4 after a quarter and 38-13 at half, on the way to a 65-47 loss.

Gabe Wilson led Fernley with 11 points and Zach Burns scored 10.

Saturday at Spring Creek, it was the fourth quarter that buried the Vaqueros in a 66-47 loss. Fernley trailed 35-27 at the half, but were still within striking distance going to the fourth quarter at 51-43. But Spring Creek outscored the Vaqueros 15-4 to run the game into a blowout.

Rei Robinett scored 13 points to lead the Vaqueros, and Russ Ortiz added 12.

For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
