Vaqueros face pair of tough road games

Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter

After an easy win over Sparks in their first home game and a tough win in Truckee last Friday, the Fernley Vaqueros will head into a pair of hostile venues this weekend against two of the top teams in the Northern 3A.

The Vaqueros returned to league play last Tuesday with a 71-44 win over Sparks, then Friday used a strong second half to turn around a short deficit and beat Truckee 58-50.

The wins were the third and fourth in a row for Fernley, which beat Sparks and Wooster in their last two games of the Rail City Classic the during the holiday break.

In last Tuesday’s win over Sparks, the Vaqueros got off to a hot start, leading 17-6 after a quarter, but really revved things up in the second quarter. Fernley scored 27 points, steadily widening the gap to 44-16 at the half.

Several times in the second half the Vaqueros pushed the lead into the 30s.

Coach Derek Miller said the game was a continuation of the solid play by the Vaqueros in the last two games of the tournament, after they had struggled I three games before the tournament and played poorly in losing the first two games in the Rail City Classic.

“The kids are back to where we’re practicing better and playing better,” Miller said. “We kind of had a lull, so I think we’re coming out of it.”

Miller said much of the problems in stretch before the break was players not trusting one another, due in large part to having so many players in new roles who hadn’t played together much before this season.

“We’re starting to share the ball, and it’s all about getting a win,” Miller said. “And I think they’re finally figuring that out.”

Four players scored in double figures for the Vaqueros, led by Rei Robinett with 15 points. Drew Miller added 12, Daunte Ceresola scored 11 and Carson Kingston had 10.

Friday, the Vaqueros shook off an early deficit at Truckee and outscored the Wolverines 32-22 in the second half to win, 58-50.

Robinett exploded for 33 points, while Kingston added 9 and Miller scored 7.

The Vaqueros are scheduled to face a pair of tough challenges this weekend, at Lowry at 7:30 p.m. Friday and at Fallon at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

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.

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.
