RASNER STRONG AGAIN

Darrell Rasner retired the side in order as he finished up for the New York Yankees in their 8-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday.

The 1999 Carson High graduate needed just 11 pitches to retire the three batters he faced, throwing nine strikes. It was the second straight outing in which Rasner threw a scoreless inning for New York.

CHS FROSH FOOTBALL 19, SOUTH TAHOE 12

Dylan Sawyers scored all three touchdowns to help lead Carson to the win. He rushed for 164 yards and two scores and also returned a kickoff for a score. On defense, Logan Peternell recovered two fumbles, Clint Page recovered a fumble and Patrick Hesse intercepted a pass for Carson.

MITEY MITE SILVER LOSES

After two impressive wins to begin the season, the Carson Mitey Mite Silver youth football team lost to the Douglas Tigers last week.

Carson was able to move the ball on offense led by quarterback Trenton Robison, and the blocking of Tyler Christy, Willard Franklin, Ryan Kattenhorn, Garrett Clampitt, Austin Baker, Daniel Beard, Jakob Weaver, Gabriel Catalani, and Zach Frewert who worked against a tough Douglas Defense to help Abel Carter, Andrew Trejo, and Dennis Krueger- Carson's running backs advance down the field. Unfortunately a few key turnovers hurt Carson's advance.

The Tiger offense was eventually able to break through against a stingy Carson defense that had allowed just six points in its first two games. The Carson defense was led by Donald Hurst, Kahyman Garland, Beard, Joshua Buchan, Richard Romero, Joey O'Neal, Dylan Mayo, Cody Main, Dylan Wemheuer, Carter, Robison, Trejo, Noah Doddridge, and Stuart Elhany.

Carson next plays at 6 p.m. today against the Sparks Steelers at Governor's Field.
