The Clark County School District has opened 17 new high schools since 1991. The immediate results are schools that have been around a few years beating the living daylights out of newer schools. It is basically a varsity team beating up a JV squad. It was suggested in the newsroom that maybe the new schools should play smaller schools, or the big school's JV squads. The new schools are essentially made up of freshmen and sophomores. If there is a junior on the team it is usually because he was not getting playing time at the other school and elected to go to the new opening. The end result is what I witnessed last night...OUCH! Outcomes like this can not be good for anyone involved.

Boys High School Volleyball Preview Story
Here is an article from the Las Vegas Review-Journal published on Thursday, March 11, 2004.
The above link is to an article I researched and wrote for the local newspaper, the Las Vegas Review-Journal . I had never covered boys' volleyball before and had to start from nearly scratch. I honestly did not know how involved the process was and I f'd-up the assignment. I learned from my mistake and did a lot better job in September with three new previews. Sierra Vista ended up winning the state championship losing one match all season (24-1). I had wanted to put them more at the stop but I could never get their coach on the phone. Oh well. The team they beat, Cimarron-Memorial (16-6), I did not even have in the feature at all. I promise I'll do better next time. The link below clicks to the preview capsules.
