Fernley softball claims top seed for league tournament

Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter

A 5-run seventh inning rally by Elko last Friday is all that stood between the Fernley softball team and an undefeated Northern 3A record.

But despite suffering their only loss of the league season, the Vaqueros are still the top seed for the 3A Northern League Tournament this week in Elko.

The Vaqueros finished the league season with a 17-1 record, and will get a first-round bye in the 6-team, double-elimination tournament. Fernley will play the winner of the first-round game between No. 4 Elko and No. 5 Dayton Thursday at 2 p.m. Lowry, the No. 2 seed, will face the winner of the game between No. 3 Fallon and No. 6 Spring Creek.

The Vaqueros split two games at Elko last week to finish the regular season.

In the first game of the series Friday, the Vaqueros broke a 2-2 tie with four runs in the top of the seventh inning. Macie Kirk and Reese Jones and Aschlynn Remer hit consecutive doubles to take a 4-2 lead, then McKenna Montgomery blasted a two-run homer to make it 6-2.

But Elko scored twice with two outs, leading to a 3-run walk-off home run by Kaitlyn Rizo.

Saturday, the Vaqueros finished the regular season in dominating fashion behind a 3-hitter by Montgomery to beat the Indians 10-0 in 6 innings.

Macie Kirk hit a solo home run for the Vaqueros, Katelyn Bunyard hit a 2-run single in the fifth inning as the Vaqueros stretched the edge to 6-0. In the sixth inning, Olivia Victor hit a two-run single as part of a 4-run rally to put the game away.

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.
