The Boulder City girls flag football team was the surprise of the season in Clark County as the Lady Eagles reeled off 20 consecutive victories. But the improbable season ended two victories short of its goal Monday when the Lady Eagles lost 18-13 to Green Valley in the Sunrise Region championship game played at Arbor View.
The Eagles rallied during the second half of the season to climb into third place in the Sunrise League and clinch a playoff spot.

Heading into the season more than two months ago, head coach Chris Morelli expected a better season than his first as coach of the Boulder City girls flag football team.
Winning the Division 1-A state bowling championship two weeks ago was not enough. Three Eagles are poised to make a run at the boys individual state title, too.
The Credit Union remained undefeated and improved to 7-0 in the Boulder City Parks &Recreation men’s basketball league.
