  • RHS girls hold on, beat WLV

    Jamie’s got a gun.

    Whether banking perimeter shots off the window or slicing to the rim for layups, Jamie Allen shot with precision and led by example in Robertson’s 53-49 victory over West Las Vegas on Tuesday night at Gillie Lopez Gym.

    Allen scored 15 of her game-high 18 points in the first half, including nine in the opening quarter as the Lady Cardinals closed in on a District 2-3A regular season championship.

    The district tournaments for prep hoop teams across the state get under way early next week.

  • On to State

    St. Michael’s is the heavy favorite to win a second state wrestling championship in three years this coming weekend.

    A Valencia County News-Bulletin statewide wrestling coaches poll tabbed the Horsemen No. 1 in Class 1A-3A, and the Santa Fe school garnered 12 first-place votes.

    The only other first-place ballot went to Robertson, which was picked second just ahead of defending champ Silver. Cobre and West Las Vegas rounded out the top five in the poll. RHS lost to Silver 218.5 to 217 last year.
