For those wondering ... (Thursday night football)

The season started for a couple of area teams Thursday night - and they were all out of the city.
New Mexico School for the Deaf started its season with a trip to South Central New Mexico to play Hondo Valley, a team that reached the six-man division semifinals last year and the championship the year before.
It was not the start the Roadrunners were hoping for, falling behind 32-14 after 8 minutes and the Eagles waltzed to a 68-34 win. The loss muted an otherwise stellar evening for Michael Jendusa, who ran for 233 yards and recorded eight tackles to lead NMSD in both categories.
The Roadrunners outgained Hondo 481-367 on offense, but turnovers (two fumbles, two interceptions) prevented them from reaping the benefits of a strong offense.
Zachary Lee had a team-leading 122 receiving yards on eight catches and scored a touchdown.
Meanwhile, the Taos Tigers went to Los Lunas to play the Valencia Jaguars, who roughed them up for a 68-18 win.

This is what NOT to do for a team photo ...

The Bethany College men's golf team was taking a team photo ... Then took a TEAM photo that was not for public consumption. Unfortunately, as 20-somethings are wont to do, they made it so.
And here is the result.
For the faint at heart, do NOT look at the photo.
