No. 1 Liberty squeaks past Centennial
With Liberty’s boys basketball team trailing by a point in the final 30 seconds Tuesday night, the Patriots got the ball to Kaeden Castillero from the top of the key.
And even though the senior sharpshooter couldn’t knock down the jumper, he didn’t give up on the play and found another way to help the top-ranked Patriots pull out a win.
Castillero chased down the rebound and was fouled, knocking down a pair of free throws with 19.9 seconds left to lift Liberty to a 69-68 home win over Centennial.
“I know my shots,” Castillero said. “If I feel it’s short, I’m going to go rebound it. Good thing I got it back, got fouled and made the free throws.”
The Bulldogs had a final chance, but Liberty (10-1, 1-0 Class 5A Southern League) turned up the pressure defensively. The Patriots double-teamed RJ Nance on the wing, and his desperation push shot around the two defenders went off the front of the rim with time winding down. Nance got the rebound, but was unable to get a second shot off before the buzzer.
“We knew who they were going to try to get the ball to,” Liberty coach Kevin Soares said. “Jaden (Riley) did a good job of denying him for as long as he could. And then when they did hand it off, we just kind of jumped that handoff.”
The game featured four ties and four lead changes in the fourth quarter. Centennial took its final lead when Jaxon Price hit 1 of 2 free throws with 37.9 seconds to go to make it 68-67.
But the free throw he missed turned out to be costly, and continued a trend of poor foul shooting for the Bulldogs down the stretch. Centennial was 2-for-7 from the line in the final 1:39 of the game and was just 3-for-9 from the line in the fourth quarter. Liberty made 7 of 8 fourth-quarter free throws.
“It’s kind of unbelievable, because we’ve been missing free throws,” Soares said. “So I’m happy we made them tonight. We needed every last one of them to get it done.”
Castillero hit five 3-pointers and scored 19 points to lead Liberty. Tyler Bright, a 6-foot-9-inch sophomore, added 13 points, 10 rebounds and two blocked shots. He scored six points in the fourth quarter as Liberty’s ballhandlers looked to drive and dish to him.
“Tyler’s a very skilled big man,” Soares said. “It makes no sense not using him. We’ve got to keep him happy. Because if we give him the ball on offense, he’ll play a little bit harder on defense and rebound for us.”
Riley added 13 points and five rebounds for the Patriots.
Nance led Centennial with 17 points and seven rebounds, and teammate Bryce Iwuoha had 12 points and 10 rebounds.
“It was a tough game,” Castillero said. “We got to an early lead in the beginning, but just made it tough for ourselves. I’m proud of just finishing it off and pushing through the adversity.”

Nevada designates more than 119,000 voters inactive
CARSON CITY, Nev. (KOLO) – The State of Nevada says it has designated more than 119,000 voters as inactive ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar says that in the spring of this year, counties updated 14,164 voter records, designated 119,533 voters as inactive and canceled the voter registrations of 7,583 people.
This is in addition to 2025 voter roll maintenance efforts that registered more than 138,000 voters inactive and canceled nearly 177,000 voter registrations.
“State and local election officials are working hard to prepare voters for the upcoming June Primary, and keeping Nevada’s voter rolls up to date is a critical part of that process. County election officials have dedicated significant resources to make sure Nevada’s voter registration records are accurate, so that all eligible Nevadans – and only eligible Nevadans – can cast a ballot,” said Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar. “Mail ballots are being sent to active, registered voters across the state now. Voters can support their local officials’ work by checking and updating their registration information on VOTE.NV.gov.”

Arbor View beats rival Centennial for 5A boys volleyball state title
The Arbor View boys volleyball team has embodied the mindset that it would take the efforts of all 16 players to win the school its first boys volleyball title.
It proved to be the case on Wednesday night against rival Centennial in the Class 5A state championship match, and the Aggies’ efforts all season showed up in the biggest game of the season.
No. 3-seeded Arbor View claimed its first boys volleyball title with a 25-20, 25-27, 25-19, 25-19 victory over top-seeded Centennial at Sunrise Mountain.
“It feels amazing. The boys have worked hard, I don’t even know if I could put it into words,” Arbor View coach Nicole Adarme said. “Our big goal was to stay calm and collected the entire time. I just wanted to reflect that for them.”
Arbor View (28-13-1) let its emotions out after the final point on an Owen Wenger kill. The Aggies huddled and jumped for joy, helped carry injured teammate Gunnar Robinson off the bench, and eventually moved the celebration into the stands with a sea of red from the Arbor View student section.
“It feels absolutely great,” junior middle blocker/outside hitter Risden Miller said. “We trust each other so much. We’re best friends in and out of volleyball, and that really helps us on the court with just competing as a team.”
Even though the two team’s previous meeting on April 14 was a three-set win in league play by Centennial (32-6), Adarme said she knew the fourth meeting of the season for the two northwest rivals wasn’t going to be a sweep on either side.
Arbor View won a back-and-forth first set on a kill from Miller. Then it looked like the Aggies were going to win a close second set, but Centennial got a point for Arbor View being out of rotation, and the Bulldogs won four of the last five points to even the match score to one set apiece.
“That’s the traditional thing (when we play) Centennial (to play long matches), so for us, we just treated it like another set,” Adarme said. “We knew they were going to fight, so how do we respond to that? Our constant conversation was responding to the negative and moving forward in a positive direction.”
Arbor View scored six straight points in the third set to take a 20-15 lead, and the Aggies never let up to get to the fourth set with a chance to win the title. The Aggies took advantage of several Centennial errors to take the lead in the third set on their way to the title.
“We took three deep breaths and reset and recollected ourselves as a team,” Miller said of closing out the final two sets. “That’s just completely huge for rebounding from a lost set.
“For me, personally, just looking at all my best friends on the court, that truly calms me down and I know it calms them down as well.”
Miller recorded 18 kills and Wenger was key at the net with eight kills and eight blocks. The Aggies also got contributions from Graham Blanchard, Kenyon Wickliffe and Robinson before he went down with a lower left leg injury in the fourth set.
Lincoln Larson led Centennial with 19 kills. It’s the first boys volleyball state title for Arbor View and first appearance in the title game after the program reached the state semifinals four previous times.
“We can’t (win) with six, we have to do it with all 16,” Adarme said. “We’ve been training all of them to be ready for big moments and it was an amazing moment for Cooper (Ball, coming in for an injured Robinson) to be able to come in for us.
“We just had to know we couldn’t be outside of ourselves. Where we fell short in the past was trying to be more instead of focusing on what our role is and what our job is.”
