  • Dons fall in Raton

    Raton got even with visiting West Las Vegas Saturday, holding off the Dons for a 63-55 win.

    West, which beat Raton at home last week, kept it close throughout. After an early stalemate, the Dons trailed 31-26 at halftime and 43-39 through the third quarter.

    West nearly scored its second straight district win Thursday in a rugged 83-74 loss to Taos that required extra time.

    The Dons had beaten Raton 59-50 Feb. 7 at Gillie Lopez Gym.

    WLV hosts Robertson Tuesday, then visits the Cardinals on Thursday night.

  • Round 1: Lady Cards

    Wednesday night’s Robertson-West Las Vegas girls’ basketball game may have been entertaining for fans, but it left both squads a little worse for wear.

    Robertson, the sixth-ranked team in Class 3A girls’ hoops, upended fourth-rated West Las Vegas 71-62  before several hundred spiritied fans at Gillie Lopez Gym. In the process, however, West’s Vanessa Lucero and Robertson’s Kassandra Tapia — both considered important team leaders — sustained injuries that cloud at least the near future for the Lady Dons and Lady Cardinals.

  • District wrestling tourney...

    With the St. Michael’s Horsemen out of the way, this year’s District 2 (1A-3A) wrestling tournament will be devoid of the red (Cardinals) vs. blue (Horsemen) finals that were plentiful for years.

    Robertson, whose streak of state wrestling dominance fell at the hands of St. Mike’s last year, figures to be the favorite Saturday at Gillie Lopez Gym, host site for this year’s district tourney. Unbeaten Daniel Martinez leads a host of strong Cardinal wrestlers. Fellow RHS seniors are Charlie Armijo, Gabe Lovato, John Pino and Jeremy Valdez.
