Fernley, NV (KOLO) – Lyon County has a basketball team that feels neglected. <\/p>\n
Members of the Fernley Women’s Basketball Team went 18-2 the entire season and were undefeated in the 3A Northeast Division, but say a handful of fans in the state are leaving them out.<\/p>\n
But after a 48-47 win over Reno High, this Vaqueros team, a power in the larger 5A class, probably has horses to make people believe.<\/p>\n
“It meant a lot,” junior guard Jasmine Torres said of the team’s win over Reno. it was fun.”<\/p>\n
The win over the Huskies further cemented Fernley’s confidence in the locker room. The team has high goals.<\/p>\n
“States, zones, regions. We want to get those teams back before we start,” Torres said.<\/p>\n
The last Fernley team to win a provincial championship was the 2020 team, which suffered a crushing 54-42 loss to Truckee. The school, 40 minutes east of her from Reno, has never won a state championship, according to NIAA record books. <\/p>\n
Could 2023 be that year? Head Coach Ralph Dunn hopes so.<\/p>\n
“They’re a good group of girls,” Dunn said of his team.<\/p>\n
Dunn is in charge after serving as an assistant coach. <\/p>\n
The girls grew up playing on the same team, so they have chemistry. They can run and shoot guns, but they can also run a half-court set. <\/p>\n
If you switch defenses, your opponent will keep guessing. <\/p>\n
In two months, hoop fans across the state will know if Fernley is good enough to win the 3A.<\/p>\n
