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.
Boulder City girls basketball coach Paul Dosch was glad to see the first week of competition come to an end.
Junior Mike Morelli, at 126 pounds, won four matches, all by pinning his opponent, to lead Team Boulder to a fourth place finish in the Boulder City Duals Invitational Saturday.
Each week, the coaches at Boulder City High School select an athlete to spotlight for contributions made to his or her team. This week’s honoree is junior Paige Buettner, who plays as linebacker and running back on the flag football team. Buettner recorded 11 tackles and three sacks defensively and scored three touchdowns and an extra point rushing for 45 yards in the Dec. 2 and 3 victories against Silverado and Valley, respectively. She is the daughter of Hunter and Lindsay Buettner.
The quest for a second consecutive state championship got off to a rocky start for the men’s bowling team at Boulder City High School as the Eagles lost seven of nine points against their rivals, the Chaparral Cowboys, Monday at Boulder Bowl.
The Lady Eagles started their flag football season Tuesday where they left off last regular season — winning.
Boulder City boys basketball coach John Balistere said his team this season would rely on its defense, and such was the case in the Eagles’ season opener Tuesday night at Western High.
Junior forward Megan Morton scored 29 points as the Lady Eagles opened their season Tuesday night with a 52-24 road win at Western High.
Winning a state championship is tough. To some, repeating as state champs is even more difficult than winning it the first time.

Ron Eland/Boulder City Review
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.”
