Coach Paul Moore praised Neva’s work ethic and said she is the “toughest person” he’s ever coached in his 33-year career. Neva will play outfield for the Warriors next year as she pursues a degree in Kinesiology and a minor in Business. She says, “Playing softball has taught me to never give up on my goals.”

Her father Jason thanked everyone who has helped Neva along the way, including her teammates, families, and coaches. Neva added gratitude to John and Katie Marsh for the “hours in the batting cage.”

Our LHS Grizzliettes competed in the Northern Nevada Cheer and Dance Classic over the weekend and came home with first place in the hip-hop division. The high-energy routine was choreographed by Drill Team alumni and former captain Anna (Young) Townsend and featured synchronized arm sequences, level changes, and multiple transitions.

Judges praised the team on their partner work, creativity, and spot-on timing. One said they were “fun to watch” and had a “great vibe.” The Grizzliettes will perform their award-winning routine on Thursday, February 10th at halftime of the boys’ varsity basketball game.

Their coach (that’s me 😊) praised the team for pushing through quarantines, postponements, and cancellations to get to this moment. Our captains, Mariah Beckman, Kadence McCracken, Izzy Norwood, and Samantha Ogburn were our glue during our preparation. They kept our practices focused and positive and led by example.

Plans have been completed whereby Susanville will soon have a natatorium, costing in the neighborhood of $35,000.

S. O. Hansen of Susanville and R. E. Dickinson of Reno, Nevada, have incorporated under the name of Susanville Natatorium and Dickinson will at once dispose of the necessary stock.

Hansen has been drilling for some time on his property to find good, pure, warm water, and has at last met with success. The water is 145 degrees temperature.
