Pahrump Valley High football gets Raiders gear, hosts summer 7-on-7 work
PVHS football got a $20,000 Raiders equipment drop and a morning 7-on-7 tuneup with Durango, a summer boost for a rebuilding program.
Pahrump Valley High School football used a June 10 morning to build depth on the field and bank a major off-field upgrade. The Trojans hosted Durango High School for seven-on-seven work with varsity and junior varsity players while also opening roughly $20,000 in practice equipment from the Las Vegas Raiders.
The gear arrived after a surprise presentation on April 24 at the Raiders’ Draft Festival of Football at the Intermountain Health Performance Center in Henderson. Pahrump Valley’s varsity and JV players were there with coaches Toby Henry and George Baker and athletic director Kristin Baker, and photos later showed players unloading the equipment at Pahrump Valley High School and stacking it in a storage shed. The donation came through the Raiders’ Champions for Safety program with Naqvi Injury Law.
For Henry, now in his first year as varsity head coach after being named in March, the morning was about more than filling a summer calendar. The Trojans used the seven-on-seven session to get live reps, work on passing and coverage and sort out skill-position roles while competing against a Durango program that gave Pahrump Valley a measure of outside speed before the fall. That competition matters because Henry is still shaping the roster, and the internal push for jobs has become part of the program’s summer identity.
The June 10 work also fit into a larger reset that began after Pahrump Valley’s 35-27 loss to Moapa Valley in the Class 3A Southern League semifinals on Nov. 7, 2025. The Trojans opened that season with a 54-0 win over Pinecrest Cadence and advanced to the league semifinals, a run that showed the program could contend and made this offseason more consequential. With senior captains Austin Alvarez, Joshua Slusher and Kayne Horibe part of the Raiders’ April event, the support from Las Vegas landed as a concrete investment in a team that is trying to turn last year’s momentum into something more durable for Pahrump and Nye County.
