  • LA golfers hit road for state tourney

     

    Both the Los Alamos Hilltopper girls and boys golf teams will be represented at the state Class 4A championship tournament.

    The 4A state tournament, which will be played at the New Mexico State University championship course in Las Cruces, starts Monday and continues through Tuesday.

    Los Alamos’ girls earned four qualifying legs on the season, grabbing the necessary three qualifying legs during the fall.

    The Hilltoppers secured one leg during the spring season, that coming April 29 at Santa Fe Country Club.

    The Hilltopper girls ended up as one of eight teams to earn their way into the Class 4A tournament and was one of just two teams from the north-central part of the state to get in, with Santa Fe being the other.

    Leading all 4A girls teams with qualification legs was Deming with 11 total. Goddard earned 10 legs on the 2012-13 season.

    Los Alamos’ boys will have one entry in Las Cruces, Raul Roybal. Roybal qualified as an individual, shooting 79 at the Santa Fe Country Club April 29 to earn his try to state.

    Deming will go into the tournament as the defending 4A champs on both the boys and girls sides. The Wildcat girls shot a two-day total of 709 and the Wildcat boys carded a 633 in the 2012 tournament, played at the New Mexico Tech course in Socorro.

  • LA softball team's upset bid falls just short

    LOS LUNAS — They were one-half inning away from pulling off a major upset, but the Los Lunas Tigers had other plans for the bottom of the seventh inning.

    The Los Alamos Hilltoppers led 7-5 over the homestanding Tigers in the first round of the Class 4A softball playoffs, but the Tigers rallied for three runs in their final at-bat to take an exciting 8-7 victory.

    Los Lunas catcher Amanda Gonzales came through with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the seventh and, two pitches later, second baseman Cienna Thompson scored the walk-off run on a wild pitch to give the Tigers the victory.

    What happens when a group of lunatics assemble and are incorporated in a ridiculous and comedic plot? The result is “Seven Psychopaths.” 

    It has been a while since there has been a truly original film. It seems that these days, almost every new film that comes to the screen is either a remake, a sequel or an adaptation of a book.

  • Key Club attends DCON in ElPaso

    Members of the Los Alamos Key Club were whisked to a land far away during the Southwest District Key Club district convention in April, in El Paso, Texas.

    This year’s theme was “Happily Service Ever After,” a play on Disney’s “happily ever after” theme. 

    During the gathering, the new district Key Club board was elected and club boards received training. 

    Key Club members also went to different sessions, in which they learned about organizations such as the Children’s Miracle Network; how to be an effective member in their own club; and how to learn Disney songs. 

    In addition to the various events, there are also many different types of contests at DCON: scrapbook, poster, talent and more.

  • McMillan talks 'Moneyball'

    Los Alamos National Laboratory director Charlie McMillan spent the good portion of his week in Washington and one of his stops was Capitol Hill where he testified at a hearing before a Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces.

    McMillan used an interesting analogy when it came to describing the budget scenario at LANL.

    “You may have seen the film 'Moneyball,' based on the book of the same name. When I lived in the Bay Area, the Oakland A’s turned baseball’s conventional wisdom on its ear," McMillan said in his testimony.
