Junior Bailey Bennett-Jordan rolled a 464, while senior Abigail Harling bowled a 456 with a high game of 183 in her final match.

Senior Alexis Cable also had a solid outing with a 429 total, while freshman Christine Smith bowled 375.

Boys basketball

Turning in one of its most complete performances of the season, the Boulder City High School boys basketball team picked up its first league victory on Friday, 47-44 over host Moapa Valley.

“Our guys played really hard Friday night,” coach John Balistere said. “The game got physical and our kids did a great job of showing toughness. We made some big free throws down the stretch, and defended well throughout the game. (We did a) much better job of rebounding and communicating on the defensive end.”

Eight Eagles scored against the Pirates, led by sophomore guard Karson Bailey with 13 points.

Senior forward Justus Green and junior guard Carson Balistere both scored nine points, while juniors Tanner Montgomery, Zach Trone and Thomas Lobkowicz each had four.

“It’s very important for us to finally get this win because we’ve been focusing so much on being a team in practice and it’s nice to see things work out after you’ve worked so hard,” Montgomery said. “It takes time to learn how to win, and that game was definitely a step in the right direction for us. We did a good job at talking on defense and playing for each other instead of ourselves. I think that’s what is most important.”

Hoping to build momentum off the victory, the Eagles will resume play Friday at home against 4A opponent Liberty, followed by a league road matchup at Chaparral on Monday.

Girls basketball

The Boulder City High School girls basketball team dropped to 2-2 in league play following a 43-17 road loss Friday at division leader Moapa Valley.

The Lady Eagles weren’t able to stop the Pirates duo of Kinlee Marshall (11 points) and Lainey Cornwall (nine).

Freshman guards Madisan Manns and Keely Alexander scored six and five points, respectively, to lead the Lady Eagles, while junior forward Jerra Hinson scored three.

The Lady Eagles are off for the week and will resume play Monday on the road at Chaparral.
