Impressing their peers at the Holiday Classic, senior Julia Carmichael and junior Sophia Muelrath each made the all-tournament team for the Lady Eagles.

“I can’t say enough about our depth,” Bradshaw said. “Because we can go eight to nine deep, it does allow us to play a more aggressive style.”

Looking to continue their winning ways, the Lady Eagles will host Cadence tonight, followed by a home game with Mater East on Friday.

Wrestling

Results from Boulder City High School wrestling’s BC Duals were not made available at this time, but head coach Jim Cox did give some insight on his young team.

“We are a young team and our boys fought hard on Saturday,” Jim Cox said. “Our weaknesses were exposed by good opponents and we are grateful for that. It also fired us up to get back to work in the room to improve our wrestling process. The team is a great group of kids that are open and willing to learn. We are very excited to see the growth and progress of these wrestlers as the year rolls on.”

Getting back on the mat this weekend, the Eagles will head to the La Costa Canyon Dual in Encinitas, California.
