Whittell High's football team prepares for state semifinals

The Whittell Warriors are continuing on their road to the Nevada state title after beating Carlin High last week, 36-20. Whittell hosts the semifinals on Friday, November 13 when they play the Spring Mountain Eagles in a 6 p.m. game.

The Las Vegas team beat Tonopah in the first round by a score of 72-14. They are the #2 seed from the south coming into the game.

The #1 seed from the north, Whittell, spent the holiday shoveling and snowblowing off the football field in preparation for the game.

Waiting for the winner of the game at Whittell is the winner of the Virginia City/Pahranagat Valley game which is being held in the south at 7 p.m. Friday.

The 2015 NIAA Division IV Nevada State High School Champion will be decided after the final game of the year on November 21, location yet undecided.
