  • Volleyball: Toppers sweep Tigers...

    The Los Alamos Hilltopper volleyball team took another step toward the district championship Saturday at Taos.

    After getting warmed up in the first game, Los Alamos cruised to a 3-0 sweep at Taos to stay on the inside track to the District 2AAAA title.

    The Hilltoppers, who rarely fire out of the gate, held on in game one for a 25-21 win over the Tigers, then cruised to wins in games two and three, 25-11, 25-12. They got a solid overall team effort minus the help of two starters, Sara Scott and Jessica Stokes.

  • Girls soccer: LA posts its 7th 2...

    About the only question in the second half of Saturday’s Los Alamos-Taos girls soccer game was whether Taos’ Tigers would get a shot off before time expired.

    They didn’t. They didn’t even get particularly close to it.

    That’s been about par for the course throughout the District 2AAAA girls soccer season, however. Los Alamos topped Taos 6-0 Saturday at Sullivan Field to finish a perfect 7-0 on the district season.

  • Boys soccer: Toppers hold off...

    Playing for little more than to complete the stated goal of going undefeated in District 2AAAA, the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys soccer team knocked off the Taos Tigers Saturday.

    Los Alamos picked up three first-half goals and hung on through a late Taos rally to win 3-2 Saturday at Sullivan Field.

    With the win, the Hilltoppers finished the 2AAAA season a spotless 7-0 (14-4 overall). A scheduled game a week earlier against Española Valley which was postponed due to weather won’t be made up — it would have had no meaningful impact on the district standings.

  • Football: LA picks up shutout...

    Early this season, the Los Alamos Hilltopper football team’s defense struggled to slow down opposing offenses.

    Friday, however, the Hilltoppers came up with the big plays when they were needed in pitching a shutout against the Farmington Scorpions.

    Los Alamos forced two turnovers and stopped Farmington on four fourth-down attempts in a 12-0 nondistrict win at Sullivan Field.

  • Boys soccer: Toppers blank...

    After a one-year hiatus, the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys soccer team got back to championship form Thursday.

    The Hilltoppers reclaimed the District 2AAAA championship Thursday with their 6-0 win over the Bernalillo Spartans. With the win, the Hilltoppers clinched all conceivable tiebreakers over the second-place Capital Jaguars.

    Forward Daniel Rodriguez scored a pair of goals in Thursday’s game and four others got in the scoring action at Bernalillo to lead the Hilltoppers (13-4 overall, 6-0 in 2AAAA) to the win and recapturing of the championship won by Taos in 2007.

  • Girls soccer: LA clinches...

    Despite winning a district championship Thursday, the Los Alamos Hilltopper girls soccer team has bigger fish to fry.

    And head coach Jiri Kubicek knows the Hilltoppers will have to turn up the heat if they want to fry them properly.

    “It was some kind of sluggish game (Thursday),” Kubicek said of his team’s 7-0 win at Bernalillo. “We scored a couple of goals in the first four minutes. After that, we didn’t do much.”

  • Running: Runners grab decisive...

    The Hansons were quicker than the rest of the field.

    At Saturday’s Pajarito Trail Runs, held on Pajarito Mountain, Hans Hanson and Susan Hanson were both winners in the 10-kilometer race.

    Hans Hanson won the 10K by more than 12 minutes over the next-closest competitor, Day Frostenson, while Susan Hanson won the women’s 10K by more than four minutes over Kay Ulrich.

    In all, 110 runners braved the elements and very difficult trail courses in Saturday’s race.

  • Volleyball: LA earns sweep,...

    With the District 2AAAA lead on the line Wednesday, the Los Alamos Hilltopper volleyball team turned in what may have been its most complete performance of the season.

    The Hilltoappers rolled through the first two games of Wednesday’s contest against the Capital Jaguars, then came back from an early deficit in game three to pick up a big district sweep.

    Los Alamos had a big showing at the net while its defense handled the Capital offense well in a 25-13, 25-19, 25-20 win at Griffith Gymnasium.
