Los Alamos Medical Center is inoculating its employees against the seasonal flu, which officially begins Oct. 1.

If the Los Alamos Hilltopper girls soccer team was at all worried about grabbing a high seed when playoff time comes around, those worries can probably be put to rest.

In an usually early start Saturday, the Hillltoppers picked up a huge road win, knocking off the St. Pius X Sartans 1-0 in a shootout.

Los Alamos converted four penalty kicks to St. Pius’ two in the shootout after the teams finished regulation and overtime in a scoreless deadlock.

The Los Alamos Hilltopper football team took it on the chin Friday night in Silver City.

In its first road game of the 2009 season, Los Alamos was blasted by the Silver Fighting Colts, 53-0, one of its most one-sided losses of the decade.

Friday’s loss was the second time the Hilltoppers (1-2) had been shut out this season. Silver, for its part Friday, nearly equaled its total point production from its previous three games.

Los Alamos scored only one touchdown this season, on defense, and its offense has produced just three points in three games.
