5 Nevada prep baseball records that (probably) will never be broken
The high school baseball season has come to an end. Some teams added to their baseball legacies this year, while others began to start their own.
The best of Nevada high school baseball is cemented in the state’s record book.
The record book is monitored and updated yearly by the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association. Here are five records that will (probably) never be broken:
Most consecutive victories: 35, Bishop Gorman (2009)
Bishop Gorman ripped off 35 straight victories after starting the season 1-3. The Gaels lost to Cimarron-Memorial in the double-elimination playoffs, but defeated Cimarron-Memorial in the state tournament to clinch the title. It was Bishop Gorman’s fourth championship during a run of seven straight state titles.
The Gaels’ 2009 team is littered throughout the record book. The team is also the state record-holder for most hits (572), most runs scored (561) and highest batting average (.463) in a season.
Coach with most state titles: 12, Rodger Fairless
Fairless was part of dominant runs at two different schools. He led Valley to six state titles and compiled a 244-40-1 record from 1980 to 1989.
Fairless then won six straight titles from 1993 to 1998 during a seven-year run at Green Valley. He finished with a 204-28 record with the Gators. Pahranagat Valley’s Brad Loveday is the closest coach to Fairless with seven titles.
Most career home runs: 67, Joey Gallo, Bishop Gorman (2009-12)
Big leaguer Joey Gallo showed in high school he was a top home run hitter. Gallo set the state record for career home runs during a dominant stretch at Bishop Gorman.
Gallo hit 25 during the 2011 season. It’s the second-most home runs ever hit in a single campaign, behind the 29 Chris Aguila hit for McQueen in 1997.
Galena’s Steven Lerud had the previous career record home-run record with 60.
Gallo didn’t stop when he left Bishop Gorman. He has 201 MLB home runs as of May 20.
Most career triples: 27, Brandon Pletsch, Rancho (2008-11)
Pletsch played a key role in Rancho teams that finished state runner-up in 2010 and as a state semifinalist in 2011.
Pletsch hit 13 triples in 2009, which is tied for the state record for most triples in a season. Laughlin’s Matt Morgan is second in career triples with 21.
Most RBIs in a season: 80, Gallo, Bishop Gorman (2012)
After a strong season at the plate in 2011, Gallo followed it up by setting the state record for most RBIs in a season. Gallo hit .509 and added 21 home runs as the Gaels won their seventh straight state title.
Gallo is tied with Bishop Gorman teammate Johnny Field for the second-most RBIs in a season as well with 78. Gallo set that mark in 2011.

Clark County’s Rebecca Place aims to expand homeownership opportunities in Southern Nevada
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — For Clark County Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick, the groundbreaking for Rebecca Place marked a moment she said nearly brought her to tears — a sign, she believes, that more Southern Nevadans could soon have a realistic path to owning a home.
“I always think that if you want to own a home, you should have an opportunity, and I run into so many people, ‘You know what, I don’t think I can get there.’ Now, I run into people who say, ‘I think I can get there,’” Kirkpatrick said.
Rebecca Place is a 30-home development planned near Rebecca Road and West Tropical Parkway. The homes are estimated to cost around $300,000, far below the recent median price for single-family homes of $470,000, according to Las Vegas Realtors.
The project is aimed at what officials describe as the “missing middle” — families who make too much to qualify for low-income housing but still struggle to afford higher-priced homes.
Homebuyers at Rebecca Place will be limited to households earning between $68,000 and $85,000 per year.
“We love to call it attainable housing because we think their salary should have them attain homeownership,” Kirkpatrick said.
The development is expected to be the first in Nevada built through a community land trust, or CLT. Under the model, the land is owned by the community while the home is owned by the individual, who also pays a ground lease. When the home is resold, it cannot be sold for market price — a restriction the county says is designed to keep the home affordable for the next buyer.
During a visit to the site in the early stages of development, Shannon Mitchell, a nurse who was at a park across the street, said housing costs have become out of reach for younger adults.
“It’s not affordable for my children, 22 to25 years old. They’re paying more rent than what I pay for more my mortgage,” Mitchell said.
Mitchell said she supports the concept and the opportunities it could create. “That’s a good idea for the county, a good idea for opportunities for the families in between,” she said. The project could be in place by late summer.
Some residents have raised concerns about how the development could affect home values. The county said the homes cannot be sold for market value, so they should be assessed accordingly.
Kirkpatrick said the project is meant to offer long-term stability for families who may be able to move in by the end of the year.
“Kids today can’t see the forest through the trees on maybe ever owning a home. This has a piece in it. You can pass it down to your family,” she said.
