Not to know what happened before you were born is to be forever a child. This ancient axiom is especially true about momentous historical events which shaped our destiny.

As this Centennial series continues, we hope to relate the critical moments which unfolded as New Mexico emerged from a centuries-old outpost of the Spanish empire, to become the 47th American state.

“These two games will really test us,”  Mora girls’ basketball coach Mark Cassidy said on Monday as his Rangerettes prepared to visit Class 3A neighbors West Las Vegas (Wednesday) and Robertson (Friday). “We have not played anyone as good as West and Robertson.”

The Rangerettes passed the first portion of the exam Wednesday, winning out 60-47 over a young Lady Dons outfit still looking to hit its own stride.

The New Mexico Highlands University women’s track and field squad opened the 2012 indoor campaign at the Texas Tech Open Jan. 13-14 in Lubbock, Texas.

“This was a meet to see where we are after a long break,” noted head coach Bob DeVries. “The athletes have been pretty much on their own for almost a month during the semester break.”

Highlands freshman 174-pounder Easton Hargrave has earned the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Wrestler of the Week honors.
Last week, Hargrave produced 18 points for his team with three pins in three team duals. Wrestling against Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Cal Baptist University and Montana State University-Northern, Hargrave scored each fall within four minutes.

The Cowboys have won two dual meets in a row with Hargrave’s help. He is 12-7 (6-0 duals) and has five pins.
