Las Vegas Sun Sports

We look at the state championship games in this episode of Prep Sports Now, a Las Vegas Sun podcast. Thanks for listening to our analysis all season.

It's crossover season! UNLV football and basketball are both hosting big games this week, and Ray and Mike are here to break it down.

The Class 3A state semifinals feature a meeting of old playoff foes with Moapa Valley traveling up north to face Truckee.

The crowds have been noticeably thinner at playoff games, Ray Brewer notes. The reason: $12 playoff tickets.
