Mountain Ridge Seniors one win closer to Little League World Series after Nevada title
LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — A Las Vegas Little League team is one step closer to making it to the Little League World Series.
The Mountain Ridge Seniors are coming off a Nevada state championship they clinched over the weekend, and next week the team heads to Oakland for regional play — with a shot at punching a ticket to Williamsport.
For coach Jon Akin, it’s the deepest run his team has made in 12 years of coaching, including two seasons with All-Stars. And they earned it the hard way.

After dropping their first game of the state tournament, the Mountain Ridge Seniors battled back — then rallied in the championship to seal the title.
“We were down 7-1 at one point in the state championship,” Akin said. “We managed to score a few runs over the next couple of innings. We had one inning where we scored 11 runs and managed to come back 18-8.”
Now, it’s back to work — with regionals just days away.
Akin credits the team’s success to the grind: practice six days a week, plus time in the gym.
“They just grind,” he said.
One of the players helping set that tone is Maya Davis, who’s been playing baseball since she was three — and is the only girl on the roster. Akin says Davis has delivered both at the plate and in the field.
“I think she was batting .500,” he said.
Davis says her love of baseball started with her dad, and she’s drawn to how much of the game is mental. She also says being the only girl on the field isn’t something she dwells on.
“It’s pretty normal for me because I’ve done it my whole life,” Davis said. “So, it’s something I’m used to.”
She hopes more kids feel empowered to go after the teams they want — no matter who they are.
“Like, everyone deserves fair, equal rights and to play a sport that’s just a game,” Davis said. “I think anyone can do it and as long as they want to do it.”
As the team prepares for Oakland, Akin says Davis’ impact goes beyond the box score.
“As a player, I mean, she’s a positive influence for all the other players,” he said. “She keeps them motivated. She’s willing to go wherever she’s needed.”
The Mountain Ridge Seniors leave for Oakland on Monday, and the team says they’re grateful for the support they’ve received from the Las Vegas community so far.
Davis is already looking ahead to what comes next, too — with goals to keep playing after this league.
The team is currently raising funds to help with travel expenses.

Nevada secures $30 million from generic drugmaker in nationwide antitrust case
Attorney General Aaron Ford announced Wednesday afternoon that his office has reached a nearly $30 million settlement with drug manufacturer Glenmark.
The settlement is part of a multi-state antitrust case against the generic drug manufacturer. 48 U.S. states and territories allege Glenmark engaged in a conspiracy to artificially inflate prices and reduce competition on the sale of more than 100 medications.
That includes drugs used to treat asthma, cancer and diabetes, among other conditions.
Nevada will distribute $41,000 to impacted agencies and over $13 million to a consumer restitution fund.
Individual Nevadans who bought one of Glenmark’s products between May 2009 and December 2019 may also be eligible for monetary compensation. Members of the public can find more information about eligibility at aggenericdrugs.com.

Nevada Attorney Gen. Aaron Ford responds to what he calls President Trump’s ‘misleading speech on elections’
CARSON CITY, Nev. (KOLO) – On Thursday, July 16, Nevada Attorney Gen. Aaron Ford responded to President Trump’s “misleading speech on elections.”
“You just watched President Trump attempt to revive conspiracy theories about the 2020 election that have repeatedly been debunked and dismissed by the legal system, independent analyses and state elections officials across the country,” Ford said. “My office fought against these lies from day one, and we successfully defended Nevada’s elections from this ridiculous misinformation.”
Ford said that Trump is trying to bring this topic back to life.
“He does not care that Americans are tired,” Ford said. “He does not care that Nevadans are more concerned with the economic impacts of his illegal tariffs and his disastrous foreign policy. He does not care that Nevadans are worried about his unchecked and dangerous immigration enforcement strategies. He does not care that Nevadans are upset about his attempts to abuse taxpayer dollars to create a personal slush fund through the IRS.”
Ford said Trump is trying to lay the groundwork to make a case to allow federal interference in Nevada’s elections.
“Trump has attempted to illegally interfere with the rights of states to conduct their elections, a right, to be clear, that is enshrined in the Constitution,“ Ford said. ”It is the sovereign right of Nevada and all other states to run their elections. Full stop.”
Ford said his office has always acted swiftly to investigate any allegations of voter fraud.
“Our elections have systems in place to ensure that only eligible people vote and attempts to vote fraudulently can be detected and prosecuted,” Ford said. “Since my time as attorney general, the system has worked, and we’ve prosecuted cases of voter fraud.”
Contrary to the lies that Trump continues to peddle, Ford said, the only threat to our elections is his inability to accept his loss.
“He’s still shopping around for someone, anyone, to tell him he won,” Ford said. “His inability to accept the results of past elections and his fragile ego are driving his desire to seize control of future elections. Our country deserves better.”
Ford said Nevadans are not going to stand idly by while Trump attempts to sow doubt, lies, and confusion about the midterm election. He added that the Secretary of State’s office does an impeccable job at administering Nevada’s elections.
“I will continue to use all of my office’s power to stand up against President Trump’s attempts to illegally expand federal power and interfere with states’ rights,” Ford said. “Nevada’s elections are safe and secure.”

Rural Nevada ice cream shop named best in the state by Yelp
Video: How to make Cold Stone Creamery’s Strawberry Blonde ice cream
Chris Reynolds, franchisee of Cold Stone Creamery’s Reno locations, shows how to make the Strawberry Blonde ice cream.
When foodies think of the best ice cream in Nevada, their minds might immediately go to the world-class eateries in Las Vegas or the independent dessert shops in Reno. As it turns out (or at least according to Yelp) the best ice cream isn’t in either of Nevada’s most urban areas.
Last year, Yelp released its list of 100 best U.S. ice cream shops ahead of National Ice Cream Day on July 20, naming one rural spot as the best place to get a frozen treat in the entire state.
Luckily for Renoites, the best ice cream spot in Nevada isn’t far away. Here’s a look at the only Silver State location that made the list.
What is the best ice cream shop in Nevada?
Steve’s Homemade Ice Cream in Fernley was the only Nevada location to make Yelp’s best ice cream spots list. Steve’s is at 1360 US Hwy. 95A N., Suite 5, or just off the second highway exit going into Fernley from Reno, in the outdoor mall across the street from the Starbucks.
Yelp reviewers appreciated Steve’s variety of homemade ice cream flavors, the shop’s cleanliness and aesthetic appeal, and the owner’s friendliness.
How did Yelp make its Top 100 Best Ice Cream Shops list?
Yelp used the reviews of businesses in the ice cream category, then used factors such as the total volume of ratings and reviews to create its “all-time list of the Top 100 Ice Cream Spots in the U.S..”
When is National Ice Cream Day 2026?
Sunday, July 19, 2026, is National Ice Cream Day.
