Coming into the season, senior Boulder City two-way softball star Charlie Masterson had hoped for a state tournament appearance to close out her storied prep career with the Lady Eagles. Today, the four-year starter will get her wish when the Lady Eagles take on Northern Nevada opponent Fernley.
Junior Boulder City High starting pitcher Jake Hubel is rarely seen as the ace of the Eagles’ deep pitching staff. With that honor going toward heralded seniors Peyton Koopman and Steve Wagner this season, Hubel wasn’t often called upon in do-or-die moments by head coach Bobby Reese to propel the Eagles to a victory. When his moment came, however, the emerging junior was ready.
Boulder City will be sending five athletes to the track and field state meet Friday and Saturday at Carson High School in Reno, Nevada, highlighted by a pair of boys participates and a trio of Lady Eagles.

Following an 0-2 performance in last season’s state baseball tournament, the Eagles are hopeful for a more competitive run this season, behind their star senior core.
Senior Charlie Masterson came into her final season with the Lady Eagles from Boulder City High School’s softball team hungry for a state championship. Following Tuesday’s 10-3 opening-round postseason rout of Pahrump Valley, it was clear that Masterson’s hunger was more prominent than ever.
The Boulder City High School boys golf program started off its postseason run with a third-place finish Tuesday at the Division I-A Southern region meet at Palm Valley, advancing to the Division I-A state tournament.
Boulder City High baseball head coach Bobby Reese was hopeful that last Monday’s perfect game by senior Peyton Koopman was a sign of good things to come for the program. Friday’s contest with Spring Valley is probably not what he had in mind at the time.
Both Boulder City swim programs were in action Saturday, competing against Division I opponent Foothill at the Henderson Multigenerational Pool, earning mixed results on the day.
Boulder City High School’s track and field programs placed second behind host Faith Lutheran on April 27 during a four-school meet.
From the moment he met his future teammates, senior Michael Morelli knew he had made up his mind about where we wanted to continue his playing career and further his education.
Each week the coaches at Boulder City High School nominate an athlete to spotlight for contributions to his or her team. This week’s honoree is senior Peyton Koopman, a member of the varsity baseball team who pitched a five-inning perfect game April 25 in a 10-0 victory over Virgin Valley High School. Koopman struck out 12 of 15 batters and was 3-for-4 with a triple, double and three RBIs. On April 27 against Southeast Career Technical Academy, he had a single and a double in the Eagles’ 3-1 victory. Koopman also plays outfield, as well as football and basketball. He is the son of Jodee and Doug Koopman.
Closing in on what could be a 20-win career with the Eagles, senior starting pitcher Peyton Koopman has provided Boulder City High School with several standout performances throughout his storied four-year tenure with the program. With all the significance surrounding Monday’s glorious performance against Virgin Valley, it almost seems like business as usual for the star Eagle.
This past week goes way beyond the scorecard for Boulder City High’s boys and girls track and field programs, following a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to open their doors to foreign guests.
