FIELDER’S CHOICES: This one’s for all my Coronado friends
Tuesday May 15, 2012
|
I don’t go to Coronado, but a couple of my friends do. They’ve been proud to remind me over the past week, and who can blame them?
The Sunrise Region baseball and softball playoffs were painted red by the Cougars, who are headed to Reno along with Eric and me. (Scary thought, right?...

FIELDER’S CHOICES: Pulling my nose away from books to make the picks
Sunday May 06, 2012
|
I haven’t been able to see as much baseball and softball this spring as in other years.
Don’t blame me; I’ve been busy with a lot of things. Namely, trying to graduate.
Between history projects and studying for algebra exams (Me? Study? Yeah, right), I’ve been busy.
As...

It’s been far too long since you’ve heard from me. I was beginning to miss you guys.
It’s my favorite time of year, the hoops playoff push, and I’m here to write about 10 things you should know for basketball season.
The most important item on this list is easy: the...

FIELDER'S CHOICES: Gaels will win title ... if they don't oversleep
Friday December 02, 2011
|
Cough, cough.
I’ve been sick all week after Bishop Gorman’s win over Liberty last Saturday in a Class 4A state semifinal. At least, that’s the excuse I’m using for not picking the spread.
If you recall, I put Gorman at minus-24. The Gaels won by 22. Close enough?
Now...

FIELDER'S CHOICES: Gaels’ air attack will leave Liberty in cold
Friday November 25, 2011
|
I’ve been apologizing to the guys at Nevadapreps for being late all week, but I was delayed for a good cause.
It took me a few extra days to get out of the parking lot at Bishop Gorman after the Gaels’ win last week over Palo Verde.
Better late than never, and I’m ready for...

FIELDER'S CHOICES: Look for rout, close game in region finals
Thursday November 17, 2011

I didn’t go to Bishop Gorman last week, but I got a full recap on the game from Shane Victorino, who I heard was in the crowd.
One day, I’ll have the Flyin’ Hawaiian write a column for me. Have your people call my people, Shane.
Only four Southern Nevada teams are left in...

FIELDER'S CHOICES: Matchups sound familiar? Hello, McFly?
Wednesday November 09, 2011
|
No, you haven’t slipped into a time machine. Marty McFly is nowhere in sight.
But if the region semifinals look a little familiar, that’s because all of these games happened less than a year ago.
Eric did a good job filling in last week, but now that Southern Nevada's Class 4A is...

FIELDER'S CHOICES: Playoff spots up for grabs
Wednesday October 26, 2011

It’s Halloween week, and I thought about getting Eric and Skeet together to dress up as Liberty’s offensive line. But the three of us combined are as big as only one of them.
It’s also the final week of the regular season, which means the final game of the year for more than...

FIELDER'S CHOICES: Gorman's first win of night already decided
Thursday October 20, 2011

Years from now, we might look back on this prep football season and notice one thing: Western was the Nevada team that stayed the closest with Bishop Gorman.
Thanks to the Warriors’ three-game, season-ending forfeit last week, Gorman edges Western 1-0 Friday in what will be the...

FIELDER'S CHOICES: List of unbeatens set to shrink
Thursday October 13, 2011

We’re back to prep football underneath the Friday night lights again.
After two weeks of Jewish holidays, it almost feels weird to be going to a game tonight.
League play has hit the halfway mark, and if I were acing — or even passing — my math class, I probably could eliminate...

I know you don't know me, but you will. I'm the newface of prep sports in Southern Nevada. Review-Journal high school sports editor Damon Seiters has me checking out key matchups each week and reporting to him — and then you — on what to expect.
My buddies, Eric and Skeet, will help me gather the info during the week, and then I'll have it here and in the R-J's Sports section. We can't be at every practice (there's only three of us, and, yeah, Skeet has a hard time pulling himself away from carving up bowls at the skate park), so we'll pick eight or so games to feature.
Sometimes you'll like what I have to say about your team. Sometimes you won't. But it's all in fun (and, hey, if I come down hard on you or your team, just prove me wrong on the field).
