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.

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.
