Staff Report

Fernley High School’s Landon Bates has been named one of Nevada’s “Most Positive” athletes for the 2025-26 school year by the national organization Positive Athlete.

Bates was one of seven high school student-athletes, two coaches and one athletic trainer on the organization’s second annual list of Nevada winners.

As a junior last fall, Bates played 15 games on the JV team and seven on varsity. He was a captain on the JV team and tallied a total of 15 points, with five goals and five assists.

The Positive Athlete organization selected athletes across Nevada who demonstrate leadership, positivity, character, teamwork, and service both on and off the field. Since 2013, Positive Athlete has recognized thousands of student-athletes nationwide and awarded more than $825,000 in scholarships and special opportunities.

Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion.
