Daily Dig – Sep 8

Cruces sweeps Ruidoso

In a show of dominance, the Bulldawgs swept Ruidoso, 25-21, 25-11, 25-17 Tuesday night in Las Cruces. The Bulldawgs were playing the 6-2 with much success–sophomore Lexi Dotson shared setter duties with Sarah Fountain. You might recall the Bulldawgs tried this last season with not-so-spectacular results.

It looks like the young offense is beginning to click. Read more about the Cruces win over Ruidoso in the Las Cruces Sun-News.

Valencia county teams hit the road, tough tournaments

Article discusses Valencia and Los Lunas’ trials and tribulations at the Moriarty and Sweet 16 tournaments, respectively. Although I wouldn’t call Alamogordo a “5A powerhouse” just yet (they’re working hard), Los Lunas played tough–tough enough for Felicia Wortman to earn a spot on the Sweet 16 all-tournament team.

El Paso scores needed

I’m looking for scores from El Paso-area games from last night, especially the Montwood/Eastwood game. Amber, where are you?
