Since the dawn of 2020, the Fernley Vaqueros have treated Churchill County like a worn-out deck of cards, dealing them defeat after defeat, an 8-2 record. Saturday, they saddled up once more, looking to reinforce that dominance.
There’s no time for sore muscles, either—having just wrapped up a game, the Vaqueros will be back in the fray at noon, taking on the Churchill County Greenwave in what promises to be a shootout fit for the record books. Fernley comes into this bout riding high on a hard-earned playoff victory, besting North Valleys 61-50 on Friday.
On the other hand, Churchill County has been on a stampede. They strutted into their Friday contest with ten straight wins and waltzed out with eleven, narrowly fending off the Buckaroos in a 61-55 dust-up. That puts their season tally at 22-6, while Fernley stands close behind at 21-6.
But numbers don’t tell the whole tale. Last Friday, Churchill County put Fernley through the wringer, handing them a stinging 51-29 loss. Now, the Vaqueros are looking for payback.
Will they rewrite the story, or will Churchill County keep the pen in their own hands? By the time the dust settles, we’ll have our answer.
