Las Vegas’ Reebok Summer Championships have gyms stretching to the outpost of Boulder City, Nev. Don’t know where that is?

If you’re driving near Hoover Dam, you’ve gone only a few miles too far. Yet Boulder City High School’s main and auxiliary gyms -- wouldn’t all of the Southland indoor sports coaches love to have that luxury? -- are home to morning games featuring northern Orange County representatives Anaheim Esperanza and Brea Olinda.

If the boys were expecting a game on the Strip, this qualifies as false advertising.
