Flag football

Defeating Democracy Prep 40-0 on Feb. 6, the Eagles rebounded from their first loss of the season on Jan. 31 to rival Virgin Valley 18-0.
Getting everyone involved against Democracy Prep, six different girls scored for the Eagles, highlighted by senior Izabel Rehrer, who rushed for 107 yards and a score on four attempts.
On the ground, junior quarterback Makayla Nelson rushed for 41 yards and a score, while junior Noelle Payne rushed for a 16-yard touchdown.
In her lone carry, senior Aspen Christian also rushed for a 16-yard touchdown.

Despite falling to Virgin Valley, the Eagles defense did limit them to a season low 18 points, offering optimism for the postseason.
“Offensively they stuffed us, but we played solid on defense,” head coach Kevin Ruth said. “They were a super physical team. We have some ideas, if we play them again.“
Ending the regular season on Thursday at Moapa Valley, the Eagles will start postseason play on Tuesday.
Postseason matchups have yet to be determined.
