Last Thursday, dozens of Boulder City kids participated in the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson, which is held worldwide with more than 400,000 participants in 56 countries. Boulder City has participated in this event for several years.
Sports
Excelling as a three-sport athlete, Boulder City High School senior Sancha Jenas-Keogh has been named Boulder City Review female athlete of the year.
Called a generational talent by his head coach, Boulder City High School senior boys volleyball star David Zwahlen has been named Boulder City Review male athlete of the year.
Following a successful swim season, six Eagle boys swimmers and one girls swimmer represented Boulder City High School on the All-Southern Nevada team.
Finishing as 3A state champion runners-up, three Boulder City High School baseball players were selected to the All-Southern Nevada team, representing the top players in the state, regardless of classification.
Breaking even in California in the Paloma Valley Winter Shootout, Boulder City High School boys basketball finished its holiday slate with a 2-2 record.
Despite going 1-3 in the Gator Winter Classic at Green Valley High School, Boulder City High School girls basketball coach Dave Estes found several positives from the Lady Eagles’ winter break slate.
Pending a more than likely official vote from the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association Board of Control on Jan. 17, the 3A classification is in line for a shake-up that could benefit Boulder City High School’s sports program.
Several fun tournaments were held during the holiday season. Here are the winners:
Capping their 3A state championship run, Boulder City High School senior Andre Pappas and sophomore Connor Mikkelson were named second-team all-state selections in boys tennis.
Boulder City High School senior girls volleyball player Maggie Roe was named a first-team all-state selection after guiding the Lady Eagles to their first 3A state championship since 1989.
While many of us in Southern Nevada want to travel this time of year, many of the go-to places are now too cold, or covered too deeply with snow, to enjoy much time outdoors. But you won’t have that problem if you head down into the Sonoran Desert and Tucson, Arizona. Almost as far south as you can go in Arizona, winter weather there is luxuriously pleasant.
LISTEN TO THE TOP FIVE HERE
The developer who proposed a data center near I-11 and US-95 has withdrawn its application to the Boulder City Land Management Process.
Imagine being the victim of fraud that nearly drained your life savings. But instead of that money being stolen by a thief or online scam artist, it was at the hands of a trusted friend.
For several years now, the Nevada Department of Wildlife has been on hand at Hemenway Park in the summer to answer questions and talk about Boulder City’s unofficial mascots.
