B-TEAM DROPPED 'New-look' PV gridders to face Faith
By DON McDERMOTT
A new-look Pahrump Valley football team will play at Las Vegas Faith Lutheran tonight. Trojans first-year coach Leo Verzilli -- disappointed and perplexed by the Trojans' collapse in a 27-0 loss to Desert Oasis last week, announced a 33-player varsity roster Thursday, with the Trojans' next game at 7 p.m. today against the Class 3-A Crusaders. The Trojans, 1-1, and Crusaders, 2-0, have met seven times since the mid-1980s, with each team winning three games, and one tie. Tonight's game is the last pre-Sunset Region Southwest Division start for the Trojans, who play at Las Vegas Bonanza next Friday to start their inaugural Class 4-A football campaign. It was also announced Thursday that Pahrump Valley's B (freshmen) team has been disbanded and all of its games canceled. On the revised varsity roster are: * Alex McGuire, sophomore quarterback; * Sveinung Leofaldi, junior kicker; * John Estrella, senior running back; * Chase Williams, senior QB; * Kyle Taylor, junior RB/DB; * Ramiro Galindo, sophomore RB/DB; * Gueran Fenicle, senior DB/RB; * Daniel Shimakawa, junior RB/DB; * Dajhan Celius, sophomore RB/DB; * Greg Shippee, junior DB/RB; * Mavrick Manning, junior RB/LB; * Ande Floyd, senior RB/LB; * Zach Weldon, senior RB/DL; * Gary Walker, junior kicker; * Ryan Holt, senior lineman/linebacker; * Vincent Bluthardt, senior lineman; * Joey Colucci, senior lineman; * Taylor Gourley, senior lineman; * Robert Aker, senior lineman; * Stephen Fildes, senior lineman; * Eli Cline, junior lineman; * Connor White, junior lineman; * Travis Smith, sophomore lineman; * Dillon Ward, senior lineman; * James Bluthardt, senior lineman; * Garrett Darr, junior lineman; * Leonardo McCormick, junior lineman; * Daniel Carter, junior end; * Steven Schmidt, senior lineman; * Chris Murphy, junior lineman; * Jesse Perez, junior lineman; * Jose Rodriguez, senior lineman, and * Lane King, senior lineman. There are 16 seniors, 13 juniors and four sophomores on the revised varsity roster. Players off the disbanded B team were consolidated with the junior varsity, which had at least 10 players elevated to the varsity. The JVs will play Faith Lutheran in a preliminary game at 4 p.m. today. |
