After taking the District 3-1A/3A title again last week, several members of the Lady Warriors soccer team said they wouldn't mind if they didn't have a first-weekend bye in the state tournament, so they could get another match in.

Thursday night's victory against Hot Springs was one the Lady Warriors earned.
Maybe Socorro's dismantling of Taos on Oct. 12 wasn't intended to be a statement intentionally directed toward anyone, but more so a personal affirmation.
