  • Boys soccer: Late Topper...

    SANTA FE — Generally speaking, 4-0 leads in soccer are pretty safe.

    But there was nothing safe about St. Michael’s 4-0 halftime lead over the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys soccer team during Friday’s contest at Brother Abdon Field.

    A rather improbable comeback by the Hilltoppers, however would fall just short. It wasn’t for lack of trying, though.

    Los Alamos came within inches of clawing its way back from a four-goal deficit with under 15 minutes to play, but St. Michael’s Horsemen held on for a 5-4 nondistrict win Tuesday.

  • Volleyball: Toppers pick up wins...

    Things may just be looking up for the Los Alamos Hilltopper volleyball team.

    After starting the 2008 season with a pair of losses, one of them a 5-set heartbreaker against St. Pius X, Los Alamos has followed those up with a win Thursday over Albuquerque Academy and a good showing at this weekend’s Moriarty Invitational.

    Los Alamos took two out of three pool play matches at the two-day tournament, hosted by the defending Class AAAA champion Moriarty Pintos, then followed that up with two wins in three bracket play contests.

  • Girls cross country: Toppers...

    ALBUQUERQUE — Starting its season against some of the best competition in the state of New Mexico didn’t seem to faze the Hilltopper girls cross country squad.

    Los Alamos’ Hilltoppers placed three runners in the top 30, picking up a very respectable fourth-place finish at Saturday’s University of New Mexico Invitational. The Hilltoppers finished with 159 team points Saturday. The Class AAAAA La Cueva Bears finished with 86 points to win Saturday’s meet, 14 points better than the runner-up Albuquerque Academy, Los Alamos’ main Class AAAA rival.

  • Boys cross country: LA finishes...

    ALBUQUERQUE — The first meet of the season for the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys cross country team confirmed two things most people suspected.

    Number one, Los Alamos is pretty good. Number two, so is Albuquerque Academy.

    The Hilltoppers finished second behind Academy’s Chargers at Saturday’s University of New Mexico Invitational, run at UNM’s North Golf Course.

  • Football: Toppers impressive in...

    SANTA FE — Corey Clark made the announcement that he’s back in New Mexico.

    No word yet if the rest of the state’s prep football teams heard, but St. Michael’s certainly did Saturday.

    Clark scored three touchdowns on his return to the Los Alamos Hilltopper football team in its opener against the Horsemen of St. Michael’s.

  • Volleyball: LA tops Academy on...

    The Los Alamos Hilltopper volleyball team got into the win column at Albuquerque Academy Thursday.

    Los Alamos held on through three close sets to knock off Academy’s Chargers on the road, winning in straight sets, 25-20, 25-23, 25-23.

    Grabbing their first win of the season was a good way for the Hilltoppers to enter this weekend’s Moriarty Invitational. The Hilltoppers had, among others, second-ranked Class AAAAA squad Las Cruces as a pool play opponent this morning.

    Los Alamos continues play at Moriarty through Saturday.
