Fernley basketball teams trying to break losing streaks
Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter

The Fernley boys and girls basketball teams will each be trying to end three-game losing streaks when they host Sparks Tuesday night.

The girls team lost at Fallon last Tuesday, 43-26, to fall to 7-4 in league play, 12-10 overall. The Vaqueros enter Tuesday’s game one-and-a-half games behind Spring Creek and Lowry, which are tied for second place at 9-3, and a half game ahead of Elko, which is fifth at 7-5.

The Vaqueros struggled to score at Fallon, chalking up half of their 26 points in the fourth quarter, after trailing 36-13.

Hailee Edgar led Fernley with 7 points, and Celeste Condie had six.

The boys team made just 12 of 55 field goal attempts in last Tuesday’s game in Fallon, including three of 19 from 3-point range, and they struggled from the free throw line as well, making just seven of 19 tries in a 55-34 loss.

Russ Ortiz led Fernley with 10 points and Zac Terra scored nine.

Fernley enters Tuesday’s game in fifth place at 6-5 in league play, 11-10 overall.

A pebble loose in the water part (replacing all concrete) 4. Hurricane Polo makes a sudden turn and blows off the roof (again). With soft muscles after 7 months of no swimming, the only health left is my sense of humor :) Comment publication date: 10/1/26, 11:18 AM Comment source: Fernley Pool Renovation Moves Forward, One Test at a Time Comment author: PFB Comment text: Why can't you guys find competent contractors.. 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.

Anyone who knows Fernley KNOWS this is more of the who you are related to and know business in this town. VOTE THEM ALL OUT AND THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPLANTS.

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.
