  • West to host 2-3A volleyball...

    Third-seeded Raton held serve on its home court late Wednesday, sweeping fifth-seeded Taos and earning a shot at the West Las Vegas Lady Dons in Friday night’s District 2-3A volleyball semifinal.

    West Las Vegas, off since Oct. 29, is 15-5 overall and 6-2 in district. The Lady Dons’ only 2-3A defeats came against longtime thorn-in-the-side Pojoaque.

    Friday’s winner advances to play regular-season champ Pojoaque Valley at 7 p.m. Saturday at Ben Lujan Gymnasium in Jacona.

  • Punching pals - Childhood...

    With the hard rock — Def Leppard’s “Gods of War,” to be specific — cranked up at top volume on a nearby sound system, longtime friends Arturo Crespin and Fidel Maldonado Jr. set their camaraderie aside.

    Then they began punching each other.

    It’s hardly unusual for reunions of these two to involve such violence. And this past Sunday, each of them welcomed the opportunity to slam his fists into the other and to be treated in kind.

    It’s what they do.
