  • Senior Men's ACI: Sanchez...

    Bruce Takala started off Saturday’s final match like gangbusters.

    Takala topped 2007 senior’s champion Eddie Sanchez on the eighth and ninth holes, where the pair started, to grab a 2-hole lead.

    But it wouldn’t stay that way for long.

    Sanchez scored back-to-back pars on the 10th and 11th holes and would eventually go up to stay, holding on for a 3 and 1 victory in Saturday’s Atomic City Invitational senior’s final.

  • Women's ACI: Anast takes...

    Sarah Anast was quick to give a shout out after her win Saturday.

    “Emily helped me a lot,” Anast said, talking about her caddy Emily Fortgang. “She kept my mind off golf. I didn’t have to think about it and about what I was doing. I know I can play, I just had to go out and do it.”

    Anast trailed big early to her opponent in the women’s Atomic City Invitational final, Anita Dunmar, but got on a roll to cut into that lead. Anast would hold on at the final hole to take a 1-up victory Saturday.

  • Men's ACI: Norman, Sanchez...

    A wily veteran and an up-and-comer will duke it out in today’s men’s final of the Atomic City Invitational.

    Jason Norman and Lee Sanchez advanced to the championship match of the championship flight with big wins Saturday.

    Norman, a former Los Alamos High School standout, continued an impressive run through the men’s title flight Saturday, knocking off Tim Johnson 3 and 2 in Saturday’s semifinal match at Los Alamos Golf Course.

  • Senior Olympics: LA will send 30...

    The Los Alamos Senior Olympic Games concluded with 30 local athletes participating and qualifying for the State Games.

    The State Games will be held at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces July 29-Aug. 3.

    At the local Games this year, 11 women and 19 men ages 50 to 87 competed. So far, 23 of the qualifiers have registered to compete in Las Cruces.

    The most popular sport this year was shuffleboard with 10 registered participants. Horseshoes and table tennis each had eight participants.

  • Baseball: LA wins District 1 All...

    Austin Aslin got plenty more help than he’d need Tuesday night.

    Aslin, pitching for the Los Alamos Juniors All-Stars, retired the first seven hitters he faced and allowed just one run as Los Alamos routed Pojoaque Valley 14-1 to take the District 1 baseball tournament Tuesday.

    Behind Aslin, who threw a complete mercy rule-shortened game, Los Alamos pounded out 11 hits in the five innings, opening up a 9-0 edge after just an inning and a half.

    “After we got the lead, we felt pretty confident we’d pull it out,” Aslin said.

  • Golf: Atomic City has big field...

    The biggest local golf tournament of the year will be a little bigger this year than it has in the recent past.

    The Atomic City Invitational, which starts with qualifying Wednesday morning, has 120 players scheduled to compete this year, the biggest field the tournament has attracted in four years.

    Wednesday’s qualifying is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. with 37 competitors trying to get into the 16-man championship flight. Thursday’s match play competition begins at 8 a.m.

  • Sports update

    Majors softball concludes tonight

    The Española Valley All-Stars scored four times in the first inning to defeat Santa Fe’s All-Stars 5-3 Monday at Overlook Park.

    The two teams will meet at 6 p.m. for the District 1 Majors softball title.

    Española Valley topped White Rock 10-3 Sunday to advance to the tournament playoff. White Rock was knocked out of the tournament with Sunday’s loss.

    10-11 baseball starts Wednesday

    The District 1 10-11 baseball tournament will be played at Byers Field in White Rock starting Wednesday.

  • Baseball: White Rock bounced by...

    With a big first two at-bats, the White Rock Little League Juniors All-Stars looked to have Tuesday’s elimination game under control.

    But the Pojoaque Valley All-Stars simply wouldn’t go away.

    Pojoaque would come back not only from a 6-0 deficit, but would erase a late 8-6 White Rock advantage to win 9-8 in the District 1 Juniors tournament at Virchow Field.

    The win puts Pojoaque into a playoff with Los Alamos for the District 1 championship and the right to advance to the state Juniors playoffs.

    Los Alamos and Pojoaque will meet tonight at 6:30 p.m.

  • Softball: WR falls in extra...

    Only three teams remain in the District 1 Majors All-Star softball tournament, being held at Overlook Park this weekend.

    One of those teams, White Rock, now must win-out to advance to the state Majors tournament, after falling in an extra-inning thriller to Santa Fe Saturday.

    With their win Saturday, Santa Fe’s All-Stars will have two cracks at the District 1 tournament title, the first of those coming Monday at 6 p.m.
