  • Another DWI tragedy

    Two young girls, a 14-year-old and a 12-year-old, are dead in what state police are calling an alcohol-related crash.

    Police say that 17-year-old Wayne Lovato, of Las Vegas, was driving the vehicle while under the influence of liquor. Lovato, who is being charged with two counts of vehicular homicide and a host of other crimes, deserves to have his day in court.

    But if the preliminary investigation conducted by state police holds up, and if Lovato was indeed driving while drunk, then this community needs to start asking itself some hard questions.

  • Home at last - Lady Cards take game one; second contest suspended

    West Las Vegas softball coach Lucas Griego predicted the road to the District 2-3A championship will go through the Meadow City this spring.

    And he said the outcome of his Lady Dons’ series with Robertson could decide the champion.

    After an error-riddled start to the teams’ doubleheader this past Thursday at WLV field, the Lady Cardinals own the advantage. Robertson exploited a poor defensive game in the opener to win 10-7. The second game had West leading 8-6 in the fifth inning before umpires suspended the action due to darkness.

  • Robertson sluggers, miscues stifle West

    Errors loomed large over Saturday’s East-West baseball doubleheader, won by Robertson High in a sweep, 5-4 and 14-4, at West Las Vegas’ field.

    It was the first home appearance of the season for the road-weary Dons and head coach Ryan Gabaldon. The Cardinals and Ken Sandoval hadn’t been in town since the first couple of games in early March.

    West, which bombarded Capital 22-0 and 22-5 on Thursday in Santa Fe, had positive vibes going into the weekend.
