  • Swimming and Diving: LA boys...

    In one of the larger meets of its 2008-09 season and with an abbreviated roster, the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys and girls swim teams still had enough to earn solid showings.

    Los Alamos’ girls finished fifth at Saturday’s Griffin Invitational, hosted by Santa Fe Prep and held at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center, while the Hilltopper boys took third place.

    In all, 24 teams were scheduled to participate in Saturday’s meet. Full team scores weren’t available as of press time.

  • Girls basketball: LA thumps...

    Coming off one of its lowest offensive outputs of the season, the Los Alamos Hilltopper girls basketball team had its highest.

    Los Alamos, which has looked tentative on offense several times this season, was in all-out attack mode Wednesday night. Its victim, Bernalillo, simply couldn’t hang with it around the basket as Los Alamos dominated Wednesday’s District 2AAAA contest, 70-21.

    The game was a big turnaround from a nondistrict contest Saturday at Albuquerque Academy, in which Los Alamos managed only 29 points.

    BERNALILLO — On paper, Tuesday night’s boys basketball game was foreshadowed to be a thriller.

    But in the second half, the Los Alamos Hilltoppers slammed that book shut.

    Los Alamos traveled to Bernalillo to take on the Spartans, a dangerous and motivated opponent which, just three nights before had stunned the Capital Jaguars. A win over the Hilltoppers and the Spartans would have a share of first place in what’s shaping up to be a wild District 2AAAA chase.

    Following an emotional win Friday night in its showdown against Santa Fe, the unbeaten Los Alamos Hilltopper hockey team traveled to Albuquerque to face the Eldorado Eagles on Saturday.

    Although it was a little rockier of a road Saturday, the Hilltoppers came away with a 5-1 victory.

    In contrast to the disciplined effort Friday at home, the Hilltoppers were hit with several first period penalties and were forced to play shorthanded for much of the early part of the game.

    Blaine Lattin again led a big outing for the Los Alamos Hilltopper wrestling team this weekend.

    Lattin took the gold medal in the 189-pound bracket for the Hilltoppers at a singles tournament, hosted by Albuquerque’s Valley High School. Los Alamos was originally slated to compete at Highland but was rerouted to Valley late last week by Albuquerque Public Schools officials.

    In all, Los Alamos took home six medals, four in the junior varsity bracket and two more in the varsity tournament. For the tournament, the Hilltopper squad went a combined 16-6.
