Unable to continue their postseason success, Boulder City High School girls soccer bowed out in the second round of the postseason on Oct. 31 with a 2-1 defeat to Equipo Academy.
Five Eagles will represent Boulder City High School in the cross country state championships this weekend, after strong performances at regionals.
Opening round of the postseason was the perfect time for Boulder City High School to snap a two-game skid, defeating Democracy Prep 14-8 on Oct. 30.
The word phenom is defined as a person who is outstandingly talented or admired, especially an up-and-comer.
The 124-mile Scenic Byway 12 in Utah, an All-American Road, is one of the most exceptional scenic byways in the Southwest. The drive takes you through canyons, valleys and plateaus within an extraordinary landscape ranging in elevation from 4,000 to 9,000 feet, a feast for the eyes the entire trip. This route accesses archaeological, historic and cultural sites, but it is especially rich in opportunities to simply enjoy the outdoors.
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.

Anyone who has been around the Boulder City political world for any stretch of time already knows that Mayor Joe Hardy is a pretty humble guy and not one to toot his own horn.
When Utilities Director Joe Stubitz briefed the city council on the status of Boulder City’s Dark Sky initiative, which involves replacing hundreds of street light fixtures with modern versions that aim light onto the ground and not into the sky, it was notable for reasons beyond spending and how soon the program would be finished.
Boulder City has a great vision statement. It’s located on the front page of our website: “The City of Boulder City is committed to preserving its status as a small town, with a small-town charm, historical heritage and unique identity, while proactively addressing our needs and enhancing our quality of life.”
