After Sage Ridge won the first set, the Lakers bounced back to win the next two, then finished the match with a strong fifth set to win 22-25, 25-19, 25-9, 20-25, 15-11.

The Lakers carried that momentum to Hawthorne, where they beat the Serpents 25-16, 25-17, 25-15. The Lakers were scheduled to host Virginia City Tuesday, before hosting Carlin at 5 p.m. Thursday.

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.

Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion. Comment publication date: 5/7/26, 10:26 AM Comment source: Storey County, Tesla partner to extend I-80 Patrick on-ramp
