  • Remembering Rey

    Submitted to the Optic

    Affectionately known as “Big Rey,” and warmly regarded by a host of friends he made through his life, the late Rey Moberg was memorialized in an appropriate fashion this past weekend.

    More than 70 players along with a number of relatives and friends turned out for the inaugural Moberg Classic golf tournament at the Gene Torres Golf Course.

  • Cardullo Player of Week

    Stephen Cardullo, the Albuquerque outfielder playing his first year of Triple-A baseball after toiling for years in independent leagues, hit another milestone this past week.

    Cardullo, 28, was named Pacific Coast League Player of the Week after helping the Isotopes to the latter part of an eight-game winning streak. In a six-game span, the Hollywood, Fla., native hit .417 with three home runs, three doubles and nine runs batted in.

  • Phelps vs. Bolt - Who’s the...

    Usain Bolt flashed to his third gold medal in the 200-meter dash Thursday, adding more confirmation — if any was needed — that he is the world’s fastest man.

    Bolt also owns three golds in the 100, and his dominance had sports pundits rather needlessly comparing the Jamaican sprinter to U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps, whose Rio Games pushed his record medal collection to even more obscene heights (23 gold, 28 total).

    So who really is the greatest Olympian of all time?

  • American hurdlers sweep

    The Associated Press

    RIO DE JANEIRO  — American Brianna Rollins started out fast and never looked back.

    Rollins led the U.S. sweep of the 100-meter hurdles at the Rio Games on Wednesday night, winning with 12.48 seconds.

    Though Rollins was unreachable, it came down to hundredths of seconds for the other two medals.

    Nia Ali had silver with 12.59 and Kristi Castlin had 12.61 for bronze.

  • Under the radar - NMHU picked...

    Jeff Mills and his Highlands Cowboys continue to operate largely under the radar as they build the football program.

    In a preseason coaches’ poll held in conjunction with the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Kickoff event earlier this month, NMHU was predicted to finish eighth among 11 league teams.

    That figure includes a pair of RMAC newcomers. South Dakota School of Mines will be playing its first season as a full member in the conference. Dixie State is joining the RMAC this fall as an associate member for the sport of football.
