Lady Eagles dominant in playoff victories

Opening up regional play with a pair of routs, Boulder City High School softball looks primed for a state tournament appearance.

“We are in gel mode right now,” head coach Angelica Moorhead said. “We’re taking care of each other and everyone’s doing their jobs.”

Routing rival Moapa Valley 11-1 on May 7, junior Baylee Cook hit a three-run home run, while sophomore Hayden Nordstrom added a two-run double.

Seniors Shelby Elburn, Alexis Farrar and Talynn Madrid each batted 1-for-2 with an RBI.

On the mound, sophomore Payton Rogers was dominant, striking out nine batters while allowing only three hits.

“Payton is doing a great job for us,” Moorhead said. “She’s so smart and understands her role on the team. She carries a lot of the weight for us and is prepared mentally to do so. Her teammates putting up runs and helping her defensively is a major help for her to relax and do her job.”

Routing Cheyenne 15-0 on May 6, Nordstrom batted 2-for-3 with four RBIs, while Madrid batted 3-for-3 with three RBIs and two doubles.

“Our bats are hot right now,” Moorhead said. “We need to keep it that way and play one game at a time. Our lineup is pretty solid top to bottom.”

Rogers earned the victory, striking out three batters.

Continued coverage of the postseason will appear in next week’s issue.

Decrease in tourists could affect budget

Eagle-eyed followers of city government may have noticed multiple references by city officials over the past year to expect shortfalls in the Boulder City budget over the next few years. It is a fact of life for city staff, and the big decrease in tourism to the region is poised to make the situation even more dire.
