Fernley boys take on South Tahoe in home opener

Fernley boys take on South Tahoe in home opener

Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter

Having gotten off to a promising start, the Fernley High School boys basketball teams will host South Tahoe Wednesday night in its home opener.

The Vaqueros are fresh off a tournament in Las Vegas where they split four games, following two wins to open the season, over Mineral County and Hug.

The Vaqueros opened the season beating Mineral County 47-33 and Hug 64-49. In las Vegas, they lost 68-48 to Lake Mead Academy, beat Somerset Sky Pointe 58-37 and Pinecrest Academy Cadence 66-43, the finished with a 42-41 loss to Pyramid Lake.

They have played the first two weeks of the season without Jett Caudle, their leading returning scorer from last season. In his stead, freshman Bryce Stephens is leading the Vaqueros in scoring with 16.2 points per game, with junior Johnnie Williams second at 11.8 points per game. Senior Jake Cumming is leading the team in rebounding with 6.5 per game.

With only two starters back from last season, the Vaqueros have and extremely young roster, with two freshmen.

“We’re playing a lot of guys who lack varsity experience,” coach Cade Knutson said.

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.
