In City of Vision, San Cibola Rio Rancho and Jemez Valley runners compete in a regional cross country meet capturing top finishes and tight team battles as athletes push for late-season form.
Rio Rancho watched as Donnie Hix narrowly missed a 43-yard field goal with 32 seconds left, sealing a 14-3 loss to Moriarty. Rams senior Sebastian Curtis sparked the offense with a 68-yard kickoff return and 50 rushing yards, while Moriarty answered with a 25-yard Ortiz catch and a 36-yard keeper by Shane Wallin for a score. The crowd of about 3,000 saw Rio Rancho push hard in the final periods, but the comeback bid fell short.
Rio Rancho High School hosted a five school cross country meet with Moriarty Jemez Valley Cibola and Hope high schools. Daniel Longmire won the boys race in 18 45 and Quinn Smith the girls in 15 21 on a tough three mile course behind RAHS. Rams coach Larry Chavez said the event helped identify varsity and JV runners and noted the course was challenging with hills and sand.
Bernalillo head coach Tom Camplain praised the effort after a 37 20 loss to Taos in the first varsity game in 12 years. Bernalillo led in first downs 15 to 13 and yardage 300 to 275 but fumbled the opening kickoff for a quick Taos touchdown and later misplays marred the comeback bid.
Bittersweet play featured Spartans running back Dominic Gentry with 11 rushing yards on 15 carries, Dominic Toledo with 16 tackles, and Edward Chavez with 11 tackles. Joe Chavez added 60 rushing yards on eight carries and Alfred Yazzie caught three passes for 72 yards. Camplain lauded defensive effort.
Rio Rancho High School and coach John Shepard suffered a 2 1 overtime loss to Clovis in the season opener. The Rams played on a large field, faced conditioning issues, and a late overtime goal by Mika Millender decided the game. The Rams travel to Los Alamos for a weekend two day tournament.
St. Pius X High School girls soccer opened with a 2-0 defeat to Sandia High. Coach David Sullivan remains optimistic noting eight returning ill players.

The St. Pius boys started with APS tournament third place and were set to face La Cueva next.
