  • 2-2A meet: Varela, Chavez lead...

    Defending state champion Antonio Varela cruised to another individual District 2-2A title this past Friday in Pojoaque, continuing an exceptional autumn for the Pecos senior.

    Varela’s 15:17 time gave him his seventh win in nine races this season and staked the Panthers to a boys’ team title.

    Also crossing the finish line first on Friday was Mora sophomore Santiana Marrujo in the girls’ race. Marrujo finished the course in 20:08 and led the Rangerettes to a third-place team outcome behind Peñasco and Santa Fe Prep.

  • Bring on the Quarters!

    Between them, Robertson soccer coaches Ray Parks and Clarence Montoya have won a number of district championships or runner-up finishes and they’ve been to more than a few state tournaments over the past decade and a half.

    Until now, however, they and their RHS teams have never gotten out of the first round at state.

    Saturday, then, was a breakthrough for both programs as the Lady Cardinals and Cardinals dominated first-round matches with Rehoboth and Santa Fe Prep, respectively, to reach the round of eight.
