Routs up and down the road

Five area high school football games were played Thursday and Friday and none were much of contests.

It began Thursday night at Robertson in District 2-3 and visiting Santa Fe Indian School had no answers on either side of the ball as the Cardinals rolled up a 54-0 romp.

On Friday night it was 5-5A at Ivan Head Stadium and Santa Fe High fell to 1-7 overall and 0-2 in district as Los Lunas had no problem coming away with a 51-0 rout.

At Espanola Valley the same night in 2-4A, Taos continued to be red-hot with its seventh win in a row and to advance to 7-1 overall and 1-0 in district in overwhelming the Sundevils, 61-6.

Also on Friday night, it was Los Alamos in 5-5A handing visiting and winless Albuquerque Manzano a 57-12 shellacking to become 5-3 overall, 2-0 in district and dropping the Monarchs to 0-8.

At Pojoaque Valley in 2-4A, Moriarty was far and away the better team in carting off a 55-0 zip over the hapless Elks, who fell to 0-8 as the Pintos upped their overall record to 5-2 and are now 3-1 in district.

In a scheduled 6 o’clock kickoff at Raton Saturday night, it’s St. Michael’s making the trip in the key District 2-3A test. And in a 1:30 afternoon 5-5A afternoon contest at Capital, the Jaguars take on Albuquerque High.
