The only way Faith Lutheran's boys' golf team can lose the Southern Nevada Class 3-A regular-season championship is to not show up and Pahrump Valley win the final league match of the season the Crusaders host Thursday.

The Crusaders moved to 7-0 (70 points) in the league Thursday at Boulder Creek, shooting 410 on the par 72, 6,500-yard desert course in Boulder City.

Pahrump Valley has 62 points after shooting 428. Mesquite Virgin Valley (56) had 445, while Boulder City (45) 455 and Overton Moapa Valley (41) 457 completed the scoring. Team points awards are 10 points for first, nine for second, eight for third, seven for fourth and six for fifth.

On May 8, Pahrump Valley hosts the Southern regionals at Mountain Falls. The top two teams and the top three players on non-qualifying teams advance to the state tournament, to be played May 13-14 on Mesquite-based courses: The Palms and CasaBlanca.

Completing the field will be the top three teams and top five players in the final Northern League regular-season standings.
