This school is isolated in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, a little less than 20 miles from the Nevada border, and so it competes in the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association. The Wolverines have won the last two Class 4A-Division 2 state titles, but their streak will be severely challenged this year by Churchill County (Fallon, Nev.), which lost two close games to the champs last year.
Starting his 18th year as head coach, Bob Shaffer has a chance to run the table again if senior
Eric Holmer (6-2, 200) can make a smooth transition from slot receiver to quarterback. He also is an excellent linebacker.
Senior twins
Jake Pettit and
Zach Pettit are among other key returners. Jake is a 6-3, 200-pound running back, while Zach is a 6-3, 235-pound two-way end.
Graham Christian (6-0, 200) is a powerhouse linebacker.
