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.
It wasn’t quite the week the Boulder City High’s baseball program was looking to have following a 13-2 loss to Division I opponent Palo Verde on Monday, but the Eagles were able to snag a pair of wins to stay atop the Division I-A Sunrise conference race.
The conference wins just keep piling up for Boulder City High’s Lady Eagles softball team, following another pair of impressive Division I-A Sunrise league victories over Desert Pines and Sunrise Mountain.
Boulder City High’s boys and girls swim programs were in action Saturday, with both Division I-A leading programs beating up on Division I opponent Valley.
Several key moments fueled Boulder City High’s baseball team conference this past week, putting up double-digits runs in three of its four games. More importantly, however, it was the game in which the Eagles didn’t produce double-digit runs, in a 6-0 road victory over Chaparral, that provided the team with its biggest moment of this past week’s four-game series.
One of the better blessings of life in Southern Nevada is the ease of accessing Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The area’s one big drawback is its low elevation and lack of shade, meaning that daytime temperatures become unpleasant by late spring. So the ideal time to go there is in the next few weeks, especially if you wish to hike one of the trails, have a picnic or catch the last of the wildflowers.
Freshman Marleena Mills might have just saved the season for the Lady Eagles’s softball team Saturday coming up with her biggest hit of the season in Boulder City’s 1-0 victory over Pahrump Valley.
Boulder City High’s girls and boys track and field programs were in action this past week, with the Lady Eagles taking second place in their Division I-A meet April 6, while the Eagles placed third overall.

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.”
