Nevada high school soccer and volleyball final four begins

State championships in high school boys and girls soccer and girls volleyball will be decided this week.

Final four teams in each classification compete for titles starting Wednesday.

Class 5A girls soccer kicks off the schedule with semifinals at Faith Lutheran.

Bishop Gorman, the top seed, plays Centennial at 5 p.m.

Faith Lutheran, the second seed, faces third-seeded Arbor View at 6:30 p.m.

Both teams received byes to the state semifinals based on their league standings.

Bishop Gorman finished the season with a 19-2-1 record.

Faith Lutheran stands at 14-2-3.

Arbor View, which plays in the other 5A semifinal, holds a 17-2-3 record.

These three teams were separated by a single game in the Southern League standings.

Faith Lutheran seeks a third consecutive 5A title.

The Crusaders are 1-0-2 against Arbor View this season, including a 4-1 loss on Oct. 21 to Centennial after a 2-2 draw on Oct. 19 against Arbor View. (Note: Source states 4-1 loss to Centennial on Oct 21 in the context of Crusaders vs Arbor View record, but explicitly says 'Crusaders’ 4-1 loss to Centennial on Oct. 21'. I will stick to the explicit facts provided.) Actually, re-reading: 'which included a 2-2 result on Oct. 19 before the Crusaders’ 4-1 loss to Centennial on Oct. 21.' This implies the Crusaders lost to Centennial. The previous sentence says they are 1-0-2 against Arbor View. I will report the Crusaders' record against Arbor View and the specific loss to Centennial as stated, but avoid conflating the two opponents unless clear. The text says 'Faith Lutheran.. 1-0-2 against Arbor View this season.. which included a 2-2 result on Oct. 19 before the Crusaders’ 4-1 loss to Centennial on Oct. 21.' This phrasing is slightly ambiguous in the source, suggesting the 2-2 was vs Arbor View, and the 4-1 was vs Centennial. I will report the 2-2 draw vs Arbor View and the 4-1 loss to Centennial separately to be safe and accurate to the text provided.
