HU punter is preseason All-...

When the New Mexico Highlands football offense stalls on a drive downfield, the Cowboys can at least be assured of being able to pin the opponent deep via the punting game.

Thanks in large part to Patrick Carney, Highlands has been keeping opponents honest on its own fourth down situations.
Carney was recognized as a preseason All-American for NCAA Division II by The Sporting News and Lindy’s, nationally respected sports publications, the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference announced on Monday.

Train Robbers’ bats come alive...

Nine Train Robbers batters recorded at least one hit, and six had multiple knocks, in a 13-2 triumph over White Sands on Sunday night in Alamogordo.

It was the 2014 season finale — and possibly the last game in the franchise’s two-year run in Las Vegas.

White Sands jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning, but it was short-lived. Las Vegas (16-42) answered with four runs in the top of the third and didn’t trail again.

It was 6-2 Vegas going into the eighth, when the Robbers went off for seven insurance runs.

Forest travel plan upheld

Conservation groups say a federal court has upheld a travel management plan for the Santa Fe National Forest that limits access for recreational use.
The U.S. District Court in Albuquerque ruled Friday that a statewide off-highway vehicle user group that sued the forest over the plan did not have a persuasive enough argument.
The New Mexico Off Highway Vehicle Alliance filed its lawsuit in 2012 after a forest supervisor signed off on the plan.
