Mother Nature forces early end to game
A rain cancellation ruined the coaching debut of Boulder City High School football coach Chris Render, who saw his team in a tight 14-7 battle with Valley on Aug. 14, before lightning called off the remaining action with less than four minutes to play in the first half.
Highlighting the Eagles’ limited action, Coen Burrows rushed for a three-yard touchdown, finishing the night with 30 yards on four carries.
Making his debut at quarterback, Logan Swint completed 3-of-7, passing for 46 yards, while rushing for 21 yards on two carries.
Anthony Eby caught a pair of passes for 49 yards, while Brandon Hobbs caught a pass for six yards.
Confident in the way his team performed, minus a pair of miscues that led to big plays by Valley, Render liked what he saw from the Eagles’ opener.
With the game ruled a no-contest, the Eagles will look to get their first victory on Aug. 28 in a home opener against Eldorado.
