By Team Reports
Apr 22, 2026, 4:11 am
Wells managed to slip by Elko JV the last time these teams faced off, but didn't have those same answers this time around. The Leopards lost 25-13 to Elko JV on Tuesday. The Leopards have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Wells saw eight different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Teagan Calton, who went 2-for-3 with three runs, three RBI, and one stolen base. Tristen Zimmerman was another, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs.
Wells' loss dropped their record down to 16-8.
Coming up, Wells will host Mineral County at 10:00 a.m. on Friday. The Leopards will need to watch out since the Serpents have now posted at least ten runs in their last five contests.
Come out and support our seniors at their final home game as they take on Virginia City in a doubleheader!
Game times are 10 AM and 12 PM.
Let’s pack the stands and show our Leopard pride. Go LEOPARDS!

Softball Recap: Wells Picks Up Seventh Consecutive Win
Softball Recap: Wells Leopards vs. Carlin Railroaders
By Team Reports
Apr 16, 2026 1:22 am
Wells waltzed into their game on Wednesday with six straight wins... but they left with seven. They put the hurt on the Carlin Railroaders with a sharp 11-1 victory. Considering the Leopards have won 11 matchups by more than eight runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Aryanna Rodriguez made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over five innings pitched. What's more, she posted two strikeouts, the most she's had since back in March. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one run and one double.
In other batting news, Khole DelRio was excellent, going 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Jitzel Rivas was another key player, going 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, one run, and one double.
Wells' record is now 12-3. As for Carlin, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-8 record this season.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Wells beat Carlin by a score of 21-3 later that day.

Leopards
Wells dropped down to 16-7 on Saturday, ending the team's four-game streak of wins. They came up short against the White Pine Bobcats, falling 18-8. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Leopards of the 10-6 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in March of 2025.
Gage Uhlig made the most of his time in the batter's box despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with four RBI, two runs, and one triple. The team also got some help courtesy of Alex Garcia, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run.
As for White Pine, the victory was the eighth in a row for them, bringing their record up to 9-4. Considering they have won seven matchups by more than nine runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
On White Pine's side, Maddox Sedlacek made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Sedlacek has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in four of his six plate appearances with three stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jacob Derbidge, who got on base in five of his six plate appearances with one home run, five runs, and two doubles. What's more, he posted three hits, the most he's had since back in April of 2025. Another player making a difference was Jacob Hall, who went 2-for-5 with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Get in the Act delivered their innovative Science Theater Program to
second and fourth-grade students at Wells Combined School on April
13-14, 2026.
Get in the Act adds the Arts to S.T.E.M. learning - transforming
S.T.E.M. to S.T.E.A.M. - with their hands-on theater framework serving
as a pathway to science for students.
Led by Teaching Artist Diane Handzel, students use dynamic theater
techniques as a learning framework to examine rocks, soil and mineral
concepts.
The workshops allow every student to actively participate in hands-on
dramatizations that connect learning to their everyday world.
By uncovering the story through drama, students and teachers begin to
see science in a new way, an active creative way.
Get in the Act would like to thank Komatsu Mining Foundation, Nevada
Gold Mines, Kinross Nevada, Orla Mining, Nevada Arts Council and the
National Endowment for the Arts for supporting Science Theater at Wells.
Also, a special thank you to the VP Barger, Secretary Cuca Rodriguez and
the classroom teachers, for being wonderful and supportive partners.

Softball Recap: Wells' Win on Friday Extends Winning Streak to Three
Softball Recap: Wells Leopards vs. Smith Valley Bulldogs
By Team Reports
Mar 20, 2026, 5:28pm
Leopards
03/20/26 @ Smith Valley 21-4
03/20/26 @ Smith Valley 17-2
03/17/26 vs Carlin 15-0
Wells had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 15 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Friday. Everything went their way against the Smith Valley Bulldogs as they made off with a 21-4 win. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 17-2 on Friday.
Khole DelRio made a big impact no matter where she played. She tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. DelRio was even better at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three runs, one triple, and one stolen base.
In other batting news, Wells got a massive performance out of Jess Wright, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with four runs, one triple, and one RBI. That's the most runs Wright has posted since back in May of 2025. Another player making a difference was Adriana Aguilar, who went 3-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple.
Wells was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .773. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their batting average total in three consecutive contests.
Wells' victory bumped their record up to 8-2. As for Smith Valley, their defeat was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 3-3.

Softball Preview: Wells Leopards vs. Carlin Railroaders
By Team Reports
Apr 12, 2026, 1:40am
Wells and Carlin are an even 5-5 against one another since March of 2024, but likely not for long. The Leopards are taking a road trip to square off against the Railroaders at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Wells is coming into the contest hot, having won their last six games.
Wells took a 15-run loss the last time they faced off against Wendell, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Leopards came out on top in a nail-biter against the Trojans on Friday, sneaking past 5-3. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Leopards have posted since May 16, 2025.
Khole DelRio spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on five hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks any time she's pitched this season.
At the plate, Wells' win was truly a team effort as three different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Grace Otto, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one double.
Meanwhile, Friday just wasn't the day for Carlin's offense. They came up short against Pyramid Lake on Friday, falling 20-0. The defeat continues a trend for the Railroaders in their meetings with the Lakers: they've now lost four in a row.
Wells' victory bumped their record up to 11-3. As for Carlin, their loss dropped their record down to 5-7.
Wednesday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Wells has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .590. However, it's not like Carlin struggles in that department as they've averaged .530. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Wells got the 'W' when the teams last played back in March against Carlin by a conclusive 15-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Leopards since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.

🎶 Wells Music Programs Shine! 🎶
On March 24, the Wells Band performed at the Northeastern Nevada Band Festival and earned a ranking of Excellent!
Yesterday, both our High School Choir and Junior High Choir took the stage at the Northeastern Choir Festival. The High School Choir earned a rating of Excellent, and the Junior High Choir earned a rating of Good.
Tomorrow, sophomore Jayden K and Mr. Roberson will travel to Pahrump so that Jayden can represent Wells at the Nevada Small Schools All-State Band (a small school has a 9-12 population of less than 1500 students; so Jayden had to earn his spot amongst students from 3A schools such as Elko High).
Next week we have three students representing Wells at the Nevada Choral Directors' Association's All State Choirs at UNLV. 8th grader Luke M and juniors Marcos C and Skylar H will add their voices to the Junior High and High School All-State Choirs ( a true All-State experience as students from all NV Schools audition for a limited number of seats in the choirs).
Great job to all of our talented students and Mr. Roberson—your hard work and dedication are paying off! 👏🎵
