In response to new cases of the Swine flu breaking out in the Socorro, Lordsbug, Carlsbad and Deming areas, those school districts have canceled school for a week. The New Mexico Activities Association responded by suspending athletic events for the coming week.
So the small-school track meets, team tennis, and the first round of state baseball will be delayed at least by a week. Regular season golf, softball and big school track and field also will cease competition.
Also, schools will not be allowed to practice during this time. I will have a story on local reaction to the cancellation in Monday's New Mexican.

Mr. Barron, I find it very odd how nothing was mentioned on your sports coverage about district 2-AAAA. As far as Softball is concerned Espanola Valley High School took districts for the third year in a row. Los Alamos came in as runners up after beating Capital twice on May 2, 2009.
ReplyDeleteAnd same for baseeball coverage?
Los Alamos beat Capital twice and Espanola beat Bernalillo, belive it or not..
Its sad, great sports coverage was never mentioned.
As for postponing all athletic activities, the people in power are just out of there f------ minds. All this is doing is hurting the kids that worked so hard to get to this point in their season. Stop the insanity; let’s get back to common sense!!!!
