Wenzel tapped for All-American game at Cowboys’ stadium Written by Dean Thompson on April 5, 2021
While the abbreviated Silver High School football season came to an end this past weekend with a 40-7 win over the Kirtland Central Broncos in a Los Lunas “Bowl Game,” as designated by the New Mexico Activities Association, the season isn’t quite over for quarterback Walker Wenzel.
On Monday, May 17, Wenzel, who announced last month his intent to attend Western New Mexico University, will be playing in the biggest game of his career the Blue-Grey All-American Bowl, which will be held at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium. The game, presented by Blue-GreyEvents and Impact Football Network, will be held at 11 a.m. MDT.

Despite misgivings, students, staff back return to classrooms Written by Dean Thompson on February 1, 2021
The Silver Schools Board of Education has already given the green light for its secondary schools to move into the hybrid model.
The district’s elementary schools have been in and out of hybrid instruction where 50 percent of the student population is in the classroom two days a week, alternating with the other half of students in online classes since before the holiday break.
The Cobre School District never went into a hybrid mode in its elementary schools, however.
Last week, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and the New Mexico Public Education Department announced that they will allow all districts to enter the hybrid mode in all grades Feb. 8, as long as all of the state’s guidelines are met.
