Up against more than 2,700 wrestlers from 37 states, the Rattlesnake Wrestling Club took a bite out of the competition at the prestigious Cliff Keen Reno World Championships held March 31-April 2 at the Reno Livestock Center, winning the 15-and-under age group.

The members of the 15-and-under team, who represent a portion of the 60 children ages 8-18 that make up the entire club, took the title by edging out second-place finisher and defending champs Team Toofer from Palos Park, Ill., 34-32.

The allure of sitting by the pool all summer keeping a watchful eye over swimmers is apparently not what it used to be.

Aquatics programs all over the Las Vegas Valley are looking for a few good teens to staff Clark County pools and water parks. The shortage has aquatics departments trying to attract manpower.

The Class 3A Southern League baseball regional begins Friday at Faith Lutheran High School and the host Crusaders should have more than just the home-field advantage heading in.

Riding a streak of three straight state titles -- two at 2A and one in its first year moving up to 3A last year -- Faith Lutheran is seen by most as not only the team to beat in the Southern League regional, but as the team to beat in the entire state after going 27-12 and beating the Northern League's Lowry, 8-4, in the NIAA state championship game last year.

Why win just one championship when you can win two?

The girls on the basketball teams at Trinity Christian School thought just that when they brought home both the Private School Athletic Conference elementary and junior high championships in April.

The Boulder City High School varsity softball team has some lofty expectations this season, and would like nothing better than to compete for a division and state title this season, in honor of returning head coach Bruce Reid.

In 2005, the Lady Eagles made it to the state championships and finished third in the state. "We should do as well, if not better than last year," Reid said. "We have some high expectations, but I have a more athletic and talented team this season. We have been able to move people around, and so far it's been a great year. We're still working on some little things, but that's what the game is all about." With six talented seniors leading the way, including one of the top pitchers in the Southern Class 3A Division, Tori Forrester, the Lady Eagles will be a force to be reckoned with this season.
