While the basketball tournament was great, prep sports waits for no man, woman or event. So as the basketball season wound down, baseball began to heat up.
And guess what? The Santa Fe High Demons have the best record in Class AAAAA! Granted, they've played 11 games already - all within a 15-day period - but their only loss was to Albuquerque Academy in the Albuquerque St. Pius X Invitational.
Santa Fe High rebounded to take fifth place in the tournament, and won the Clovis Inviational in the first week of March. The Demons have two wins over a respected Rio Rancho program. They also have shown they can pound the ball, having scored double-digit runs in eight games already.
What should be a good omen is the pitching. Jerome Romero pitched a strong game against the Rams in the rematch (a complete-game four-hitter) and Richard Pacheco, who was solely a designated hitter last year, is 3-0 already.
It stands to reason that Santa Fe High will make another appearance in the state tournament in May, but how it fares in District 2AAAAA - which has been the toughest district in the state for the last few years - will determine how good the Demons really are.

How much truth is there to the rumors that Geyer is headed to Rio Rancho, that Lenny is interested in any new opening at St. Michael's and that Carter is interested in coming back to Santa Fe, hopefully to replace Dimas at Santa Fe High?
ReplyDeleteLenny does not want to coach at 3A! There's nobody in 3A! But i don't doubt that Geyer is thinking of moving on. Wow the rumors that fly around in this town!
ReplyDeleteTalking about coaching .... watch the SFHS baseball coaches ... John Morrison and Jim Hensley - CLASS ACT !!!!
