Golfers swing for greater success in 2025

Optimism is high this season for Boulder City High School boys golf, who come into the season as the defending 3A Southern Region champions.

“We returned our core from last season and look to be really competitive this season,” head coach Todd Imboden said. “We built a lot of momentum for the program last year. We know this year will be tougher, but everyone’s been putting in the work.”

Leading the Eagles’ core, Agustin Acosta and Chase Kovacevich, who finished third and fifth respectively, at regionals, return for their senior campaigns.

“Having both of them back is very beneficial for the team,” Imboden said. “They bring a lot of experience and we can count on them to give us low scores.”

At the 3A state meet last season, Kovacevich finished seventh, while Acosta took 15th.

Returning for the Eagles is also Hank Stark, who finished 17th at regionals at 40th at state, giving the Eagles another reliable golfer.

Starting their season off with success, the Eagles finished first in their group bracket at the Pahrump Valley Invitational with an overall score of 725 points.

Finishing first of six in their group and 13th out of 20 teams total, Chase Kovacevich finished 51st out of 100 golfers, while Acosta finished 53rd and Stark 56th.

Alec Imboden finished 81st at Mountain Falls.

“We had a rough first day, but the boys really rebounded to finish strong,” Todd Imboden said. “This was a good test for us to start the season.”

Looking to start the season off strong, the boys will host a conference meet on Wednesday.
