The Los Alamos High School Varsity Basketball Team traveled Saturday afternoon to Española to play a conference game against the Sundevils in the Edward Medina Gymnasium.

The Toppers played a hard fought game, but the Sundevils full court press kept the Toppers off balance the entire game.

The Toppers were only down 7 points at the half but were unable to close the gap in the second half and fell to the Sundevils 42-53.
