Hinds leads golf team back to state

Boulder City High School girls golf phenom Emmerson Hinds is leading the Eagles back to state after finishing as the 3A Southern Region champion on Oct. 10 at Mountain Falls Golf Club.

“Emmerson won the individual title, shooting 70 on both days,” head coach Bobby Reese said. “Pretty amazing talent that young lady is.”

A freshman poised beyond her years, Hinds shot a 140 on the day, edging out The Meadows’ Mizara Norton (142).

As a team, the Eagles (812) finished in second place behind The Meadows (751), with a strong effort from freshman Makenzie Martorano, who finished ninth out of 18 golfers with a score of 200.

Senior McKenzye Trobiani and sophomore Rylee Elder finished 12th and 13th, respectively, with scores of 232 and 240 respectively.

The 3A state meet will be held Oct. 17 at Palms Golf Course in Littlefield, Ariz. and Oct. 18 at CasaBlanca Golf Club in Mesquite.

Girls volleyball

Bouncing back from a tough loss against The Meadows on Oct. 5, Boulder City High School girls volleyball sharpened iron with iron over the weekend at the Dragons Invitational, finishing with a perfect 8-0 record.

Defeating key teams, the Eagles cruised past Northern 5A challenger McQueen, along with Southern 4A programs Bonanza, Cadence, Chaparral, Cimarron-Memorial, Las Vegas, Spring Valley and Sunrise Mountain.

Building upon that momentum, the Eagles picked up their 20th victory of the season against Pine Crest Sloan Canyon Oct. 10, in a 25-21, 25-16, 25-19 victory.

Senior Addison Doane led the way with 14 kills and eight serving aces, while senior Megan Uszynski added 11 kills with four aces.

Senior Haley May added six kills, while junior Sophia Kelso added six kills and four aces.

Defensively, senior Jordyn Woodard led the way with 26 digs, while Doane added nine.
