  • Let’s get it started

    Shaking out some opening-night kinks, the Robertson girls’ basketball team began the season — and the Leroy Barela era — with a 58-41 win over Ruidoso Monday night at Mike Marr Gym.

    Senior guard Kendall Garcia, who transferred from Class 6A Volcano Vista, was a hit in her Lady Cardinal debut. She scored a game-high 14 points and chipped in two rebounds and two steals.

    Everyone who played for the home side contributed, however, and the team’s diligence was key to getting Robertson rolling in a pivotal third quarter.

  • TCU, Baylor eye top four

    The Associated Press

    DES MOINES, Iowa — The final weekend in the Big 12 will illustrate both the risk and reward that come with the league’s decision to do away with its title game.

    The lack of a championship game might not always work out for the Big 12 in the playoff era.

    This year, it could help push Baylor and TCU into the final four.

  • Post-Thanksgiving feast

    The basketball made its descent and caught a piece of the rim, then circled and circled and circled — six times, maybe eight or nine or 10 — before deciding to drop through.

    Back in the stands, the Gillie Lopez Gym crowd cheered giddily. West Las Vegas’ D.J. Bustos had just scored his 14th, 15th and 16th points in the Dons’ eventual 72-49 win over Thoreau, and the uncertainty over whether the shooter’s roll 3-pointer from the left corner would be a make or a miss was about all the mystery left at that point, late in the third quarter.

    The Cowgirls committed 30 turnovers in the loss.

  • State football finals set

    Ruidoso, the No. 2 seed behind Robertson and the only team to seriously threaten the Cardinals during their unbeaten regular season, will shoot for a state title in Class 4A football this coming weekend in Ruidoso.

    The Warriors won 14-7 over Silver, the 2013 state runner-up, in one of Saturday’s two semifinals.

    Their opponent? No. 5 seed Cobre, which knocked off No. 8 Hatch Valley 21-14 on Saturday.

    Defending champion Robertson was upset by Hatch 20-16 in the quarterfinal round last Saturday, finishing 10-1.
