Los Alamos High School Toppers traveled to Taos Friday night to play a non-district game against the Taos Tigers at Anaya Field. The Topper’s running game was strong but penalties, fumbles and interceptions made the difference and the Toppers lost 20-35. There were some highlights for the Toppers, Akim Leija ran a kickoff back for a touchdown in the 4th quarter and shown here Jordan Herrera leaps into the end zone for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
