Lady Leopards sweep Jackpot with running-clock victory
Anthony Mori Feb 13, 2026
ELKO — The third meeting between the Wells and Jackpot girls basketball teams provided the same result.
After sweeping the Lady Jaguars in the regular season — winning 46-12 on Jan. 13, in Jackpot, and 50-15 on Feb. 3, in Wells — the Lady Leopards rolled to a running-clock victory in the playoffs.
On Tuesday, No. 3 Wells (8-4 in league) led 17-0 after the first quarter against No. 6 Jackpot (1-11 in league) — which played its way into the postseason with a 35-34 victory over Carlin, on Tuesday, in Wells — and enforced the running clock with the margin at 44-8 after the third quarter en route to a 55-16 victory over the Lady Jags in the 1A East quarterfinal round.
Wells jumped from the gates quickly with four points in a row by sophomore Alivia Smith — who scored on an offensive rebound and drained two free throws — and then took a 6-0 lead with a steal and a race down the left side of the floor by junior Aryanna Rodriguez.
Junior Khloe DelRio began her onslaught with eight-consecutive points; six coming on three steals and two from a strong drive.
The Lady Leopards built a 17-0 advantage by the end of the first with a three by senior Andreina Mercado on an assist from freshman Josie Brodsho.
Jackpot got on the board with a shot from the left block by Jisel Arias, but the score was answered with a deuce on the left side by Wells sophomore Gabby Garcia on a feed from Rodriguez.
The Lady Leopards went up 21-2 with a steal and a layup by sophomore Jess Wright, Smith finished on a dish from sophomore Stacia Hansen and the lead extended to 23 points on a baseline runner by DelRio.
The Lady Jaguars closed the half on a 6-0 run with a free throw and a three by Eunice Dominguez and a deuce for Rosie Estrada on an assist from Samantha Cervantes.
At the break, Wells led by 17 with the score at 25-8.
Opening the third, DelRio cashed a three from the left wing.
Smith dropped consecutive buckets on a dish from Rodriguez and an offensive rebound, Hansen went 1-of-2 at the line and junior Marli Dahl cleaned up the offensive glass for a putback.
With the score at 35-8, DelRio closed the frame on a 9-0 personal streak with a three on an assist from sophomore Maite Casas, a baseline floater, a steal and a layup and a take to the tin around a curl at the elbow — enforcing the running clock.
For the second time, Jackpot was shut out in the frame.
Going to the fourth, the Lady Leopards led by 36 with the score at 44-8.
The Lady Jags opened the final period on a 6-0 run with a pair of free throws by Jocelyn Cervantes, a floater by Dominguez and Jocelyn Cervantes finished a sweet reverse along the baseline with some English on the ball.
Wright scored for Wells, Mercado canned her second three of the game and Smith continued her solid work in the paint with another offensive putback.
Jocelyn Cervantes dropped a midrange jumper, but Smith scored in transition after a steal and an outlet pass from Brodsho — who then set up freshman Reese Livingstone with a post-entry pass on the right block.
Wells advanced to the 1A East semifinal round with a 55-16 victory over Jackpot in the quarterfinal.
DelRio led all scorers with 22 points and knocked down two 3s, and she was joined in double digits with 14 points from Smith.
Mercado scored six points on two 3s.
Jackpot was paced with six points apiece from Jocelyn Cervantes and Dominguez, and the Lady Jags’ offense was rounded out with two points apiece for Samantha Cervantea and Arias.

Leopards outrun Bulldogs
Anthony Mori Feb 13, 2026
ELKO — After splitting the regular-season matchups, the Division 1A East quarterfinal between No. 4 Wells (7-7 in league) and No. 5 McDermitt (7-7 in league) provided an instant classic.
On Jan. 17, the Bulldogs rode their home floor to a 52-41 victory, but the Leopards used their home court and bounced back with a 70-53 home win on Feb. 7 in the regular-season finale.
Meeting for the third time — and the second time in a matter of five days — Wells was the victor in a wild-west shootout.
On Thursday, the Leopards and the Bulldogs provided plenty of points, highlight plays and red-hot shooting in a game with little defense.
In the 1A East regional quarterfinal, Wells advanced with an 87-72 victory — pulling away late in the fourth quarter after McDermitt cut the lead to four.
Wells led 23-20 after the first quarter, which ended with a 70-foot heave from the other three-point line at the buzzer by McDermitt junior Dylan Palmer.
The Leopards and the Bulldogs each mounted 20 points in the second period — which concluded with another buzzer-beating three from the right wing by McDermitt sophomore Bryson Hunter — and Wells took a 43-40 lead to the locker room.
In the third, the offenses continued to mount points — the Leopards scoring 18 in the frame and the Bulldogs adding 15 to their total.
Going to the fourth quarter, Wells led by six at 61-55.
After McDermitt senior Shandon Camas cut the deficit to four with a deuce from an inbound pass by Palmer, Wells senior Joe Dahl scored five straight — two on free throws and burying a three.
The Bulldogs trimmed the margin back to four with a jumper by Hunter on an assist from Palmer, who then set up a triple for junior Chris Scott.
But Wells scored four in a row with a free throw by Dahl, and And-1 and a free throw by junior Skyler Harney.
Hunter stroked a three from a dish by Palmer, but Harney splashed two foul shots and junior Olen Morrison went coast-to-coast for a layup and drained two foul shots for a 76-65 lead.
McDermitt momentarily stayed in the hunt with an And-1 on the right block by junior Treal Scott but Wells junior Charles Peterson put in work on the offense glass and connected on two free throws.
Camas followed up his own miss, but McDermitt ran out of gas on the defensive end of the floor and gave up a 7-0 run.
Wells went up 16 with an offensive putback by Morrison, a layup by sophomore Tripp Spainhower and the third triple for Morrison on a Dahl dime.
Camas cashed a late three, but the game closed with an offensive follow by Wells freshman Gavin Martinez.
In the end, the Leopards advanced to the semifinal round with an 87-72 victory.
Morrison was lights out for Wells and dropped a game-high 29 points — scoring 10 in both the first and fourth quarters — and hammered three 3s.
Camas led McDermitt with 23 points, scoring 19 in the second half.
Dahl also reached 20 points for the Leopards and buried four 3s, while Palmer hit 20 points and cashed four treys for the Bulldogs — including his first-quarter heave at the buzzer from the other end of the floor.
Harney served as the third Wells player in double digits with 15 points, and Spainhower gave the Leopards four players in double figures with 13 points and drained two 3s.
Hunter gave McDermitt three players in double digits with 12 points and two 3s, his first coming at the halftime buzzer.
Treal Scott neared double figures with nine points, Chris Scott finished with five and senior AJ Farmer closed out the offense for the Bulldogs with three points.
Wells’ scoring was rounded out with five points for junior Luis Martinez, three free throws by Peterson and two points from Gavin Martinez.

In the Division 1A East semifinal round, the No. 4 Leopards (7-7 overall) were scheduled to face No. 1 Eureka (14-0 in league) at 4:40 p.m. Friday, at Centennial Gymnasium.

The Leopards have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 11 games by 22 points or more this season.

They weren't the only ones working in the assist department: Wells was working as a unit and finished the game with 20 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.
Loss or not, McDermitt got some senior leadership from Cierra Smart and Alexis Scott. Smart put up 18 points and six blocks, while Scott almost dropped a double-double with 13 points and nine rebounds. Scott has been hot, having posted nine or more boards the last eight times she's played.
