Bowling teams off to hot start
Looking to make an extended postseason run, both Boulder City High School bowling programs come into the season high with expectations within the 3A classification.
“I believe both teams are going to be very competitive this season,” head coach Garth Schulz said. “The girls bring back experience and the boys have a few newcomers that should help us compete.”
Already off to a 3-0 start, the boys have rallied to victories against Canyon Springs, Sunrise Mountain and Sloan Canyon.

Against Sloan Canyon on Dec. 9, the Eagles won decisively 1,850-1,392 behind Wainwright (540) and (454).
Ben Porter (447) and Schenk (409) also contributed to the winning effort.
Starting the season off with a 3-0 record, the girls soundly defeated Canyon Springs and Sunrise Mountain, while picking up a forfeit victory over Sloan Canyon.
