  • RHS boys looking for strong...

    Winning ugly is far better than losing pretty, as far as Robertson boys’ soccer coach Clarence Montoya is concerned.

    His Cardinals did the former in a 3-1 tally against visiting Pojoaque Valley on Monday on campus, extending their season-long winning streak to four games.

    Robertson and Pojoaque traded one broken possession after another on a warm afternoon in Las Vegas that felt more like a lazy early summer day.

    A difficult three-night swing through the Denver area resulted in three defeats for Highlands’ volleyball team (8-13 overall, 3-9 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference).

    Highlands opened the trip Thursday with a 25-14, 25-23, 25-22 loss at No. 12 nationally ranked Metro State, which hit a blazing .365 and improved to 17-4 and 9-3 with additional weekend wins over Colorado State-Pueblo and Adams State.

  • Sixth straight win for Cowgirl...

    Janelle McGee scored twice and Julissa Rodriguez had one goal and one assist Friday night as Highlands’ women’s soccer team won its sixth straight match, a 3-0 shutout of visiting Colorado-Colorado Springs (7-6, 3-6).

    The Cowgirls ran their record to 8-6 overall and 6-4 in the RMAC.

    The Mountain Lions managed just three shots on goal, and all three were stopped by Bianca Contreres, the third goalkeeper the Cowgirls employed Friday.

  • Alive and digging

    West Las Vegas’ Larrissa Gallegos lunged forward, one arm in front of her, trying to beat the volleyball to the floor without skidding under the net nearby. She managed to do so, rolling in a somersault out of bounds. The ball’s trajectory, meanwhile, carried it up and over the net and somehow down neatly between two Robertson players on the other side.

    Match point. Game over.

    Pecos’ Antonio Varela tried the big-school race on for size Saturday in Rio Rancho — and almost won the darn thing.

    Varela finished second with a time of 15:32, just seven seconds off the winning pace set by Class 5A Cleveland’s Luis Martinez.
