A Nevada high school girls basketball team is contesting a forfeiture of win ruling by the Nevada Interscholastic Athletic Association. Centennial, ranked first in the Nevada On3 Composite Team Rankings, must forfeit 18 wins due to an ineligible player.
Zoning issues led the NIAA to bestow the unfortunate decision on the Bulldogs. As KNTV 13’s Nick Walters wrote, the player in question was a player who lived within the school’s zoning area and played for the football team since his sophomore year.
However, Centennial argues that there’s an issue regarding the NIAA’s Register My Athlete system, which they use to track player eligibility. While the Bulldogs are appealing against the decision, they’re finding it hard to keep their spirits up because the same board members will review their case.
Centennial’s head coach, Karen Weitz, expressed her dismay about the decision. She also lamented the fact that they have no way to verify a player’s eligibility. Instead, they rely on their administration to say that a certain player is cleared.
If the decision sticks, the Bulldogs will go from 19-1 to 2-18. They were 17-1 before their January 10 victory over Coronado. Likewise, the NIAA forfeited their Las Vegas Prep Tournament championship last December.
However, Centennial can still qualify for the Nevada high school girls basketball playoffs if they win their six remaining games. Sweeping their schedule improves their record to 8-18, putting them among one of the eight playoff teams from Class 5A Southern. The Bulldogs finished their 2023-24 season at 19-6. However, they lost in the Class 5A state championship game against Bishop Gorman.

AUSTIN, Nev. (KOLO) – On Friday, March 6, Andrea Lowe, a seventh-generation Nevadan, filed to run for the U.S. House of Representatives in Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District, which has been held by Rep. Mark Amodei since 2011.
“I’m not a career politician,” Lowe said. “I’m running because the people of Nevada deserve a voice in Washington that truly represents our communities and our values.”
Amodei recently announced he is not running for re-election. The district covers northern Nevada, including Carson City, Reno, and surrounding rural areas.
Lowe, a Republican, serves on the Lander County School Board and is a board director for the Nevada Association of School Boards.
She is also a wife and mother of three boys.
Lowe’s campaign will focus on supporting veterans and first responders, protecting the Second Amendment, and standing up for the hardworking people and rural communities that built Nevada.
“As someone who lives and works in rural Nevada, I understand the challenges our communities face,” Lowe said. “I’m ready to fight for the people who built our state.”
