Toppers Topple Elks 58-20
The Toppers burst out onto Sullivan Field Thursday evening to play a nonconference game against the Pojoaque Elks. The Elks are a longtime rival and the games are always fast and furious, and this game was no different. It was a penalty-marred chippy contest with 32 penalties and 2 Elks ejected from the game. The Elks had a good first quarter but started to feel the power of the Toppers and just could not keep up with the Toppers for the rest of contest and the Toppers pulled ahead to win 58-20.

Los Alamos Daily Post
The cooler temperatures and rain that New Mexico experienced this past week should help to improve fishing conditions. Bank fishermen at our lakes should benefit the most as trout will start moving into shallower water as the water temperatures cool down.
If you are a hunter, bring along your shotgun on trips into the mountains. Blue grouse season is open. These game birds are often encountered while driving dirt roads in our National Forests. They are excellent eating. The daily bag limit is three
