Softball Recap: Saturday's Victory Is Wells' 16th in Last 17 Outings
Softball Recap: Wells Leopards vs. Pyramid Lake Lakers
By Team Reports
May 9, 2026, 3:02 pm
It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Wells had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They were the clear victors by a 10-3 margin over the Pyramid Lake Lakers. The result was nothing new for the Leopards, who have now won 19 games by seven runs or more so far this season.
Khloe DelRio made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over seven innings while giving up three earned runs off eight hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with four RBI, two doubles, and one stolen base. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2025.
In other batting news, Adriana Aguilar was a standout: she went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one double. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged two or more in each of the last three games she's played. Jitzel Rivas was another key player, going 2-for-4 with four stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.
Wells always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .583. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Pyramid Lake only posted an OBP of .379.
Wells is on a roll lately: they've won 16 of their last 17 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.4 runs over those games. As for Pyramid Lake, their defeat dropped their record down to 23-8.
Wells and Pyramid Lake are set to take part in some playoff action in their next matches. The Leopards will square off against Round Mountain at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Knights have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.15 runs per game on average), something Wells will no doubt try to take advantage of.

Congratulations to Karely for participating in the 1st ever SkillsUSA National Signing Day at Wells High School!
National Signing Day recognizes graduating seniors who are committing to careers in the skilled trades and technical fields — similar to an athletic signing, but focused on workforce and career education opportunities.
Karely proudly signed her letter of intent with Southwestern Oregon Community College to pursue a degree in Criminology. We are proud of her hard work and excited to see all she accomplishes in the future.
Way to go, Karely!

Please help us recognize and honor our amazing school nurse, Nurse Manning! She goes above and beyond every single day to care for our students with kindness, compassion, and dedication.
Whether it’s helping students feel better or making sure everyone is safe and healthy, Nurse Manning always puts our kids first. She even took time to “save” an injured worm found on the playground by carefully bandaging it for a very concerned student — a perfect example of the care and heart she shows to everyone and everything around her. 🩺🧡🪱
Thank you, Nurse Manning, for all you do for Wells schools. We appreciate you more than words can say!

Mrs. Berumen is so excited to share some "fluttering" news from her EL classroom! Over the last few weeks, her students have been moonlighting as amateur entomologists as they explored the incredible life cycle of the butterfly.
It’s been a joy to watch their faces light up every morning as they rush to the observation tank to see what had changed overnight. Here is a look at the journey they took together.
They will be releasing them Thurday afternnon, weather permitting.

Are you a parent trying to make sense of the endless vaping and nicotine products advertised at gas stations, convenience stores, smoke shops, online, etc. right now? You are not alone.
The way nicotine is packaged and targeted to consumers including youth is changing. Beyond vapes, products like nicotine pouches are marketed as “clean” and easy to use. They are often framed as a lifestyle or performance boost, frequently amplified by influencers who make the product seem harmless. What's more, they continue to come in appealing flavors, colors and clever modes like "smart vapes," to further entice youth.
We’re hosting a virtual session to break it down clearly and practically: the signs to look for if you are concerned your youth might be vaping or using nicotine and practical strategies to support you and your youth.

This session is especially designed for parents who are newer to these conversations or just beginning to learn what to look for.
We’ll cover:
· What products like nicotine pouches are and how they’re used
· How marketing and social media are shaping what kids see
· Signs to watch for and how these products can show up in daily life
· Simple ways to start conversations and take action
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what’s changing and how to help protect your child.
Free registration includes access to the recording!

Baseball Recap: Wells Leopards vs. Mineral County Serpents
By Team Reports
Apr 27, 2026, 11:59 am
Wells won the last time they faced Mineral County and things went their way on Friday too. The Leopards came out on top against the Serpents by a score of 7-4. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Leopards.
Charley Peterson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on four hits and racked up eight Ks.
On the hitting side, Luis Garcia was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, two doubles, and two RBI. That's the most doubles he has posted since back in April of 2025. Another player making a difference was Gage Uhlig, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Wells' win bumped their record up to 18-8. As for Mineral County, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 11-5.
Wells didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next contest, a 16-1 victory against Virginia City on the 25th.
