Karlee Bradley led all scorers with 20 points and Kassandra Tapia turned out another double-double Monday night for Robertson in a 55-41 win at Raton.

Bradley, who’d fouled out of the Lady Cardinals’ shorthanded loss at Santa Fe Indian School on Saturday,, provided offense to spare on Monday. Tapia recorded 12 points and 12 rebounds, Daniella Montoya had 16 points and Miranda Garcia grabbed eight boards for Robertson.

No, the Robertson Cardinals still don’t enjoy 100 percent health, and recent forfeits in up to four or five weight classes have limited their point-scoring potential.

But the wrestlers these Redbirds do have available showed some of what they are capable of Friday and Saturday at Mike Marr Gym. With eight varsity men making the medal round — first through fourth place matches — Robertson clinched the team championship of its own Cardinal Classic.

In a head-to-head meeting of former Las Vegas high school basketball stars now plying their trade on the college hardwood, this one was a statistical toss-up.

Jessica Armijo, Robertson High alumnus now with New Mexico Highlands, was 5 for 12 from the floor for 13 points to go with four rebounds, two assists, three steals and three turnovers in 32 minutes.

Vera Jo Bustos, West Las Vegas alumnus now with Adams State College, was 4 of 11 for 13 points to go with eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks, one steal and nine turnovers in 35 minutes.

West Las Vegas’ girls’ basketball team had the most memorable game — and the lone victory — in a challenging weekend for the Meadow City’s four varsity high school basketball squads.

The Lady Dons, ranked No. 1 in Class 3A, squeaked out a 38-34 win over St. Michael’s at Perez-Shelley Gymnasium in Santa Fe on Saturday night, keeping their hold on first place in District 2-3A.
