SANTA FE Junior running back Zach Vigil scored three times and quarterback Joey Cave scored twice as the Rams easily won the long-awaited debut of head coach Gerard Pannoni, 57-6, over Santa Fe last Saturday.
Pannoni, by the way, was the only person at Ivan Head Stadium wearing shorts, and no cap, on a chilly, windy afternoon; about 225 Rams fans bundled up in the bleachers.
Running an efficient, no-huddle offense, the Rams had enough points less than three minutes into the game to beat the Demons for the seventh time in as many meetings. Vigil caught a 7-yard scoring pass from Cave, and Elijah Smith ran the ball in for an 8-0 lead. Vigil’s TD capped a nine-play, 72-yard drive after the Rams took the opening kickoff.

The principals of Albuquerque’s 13 public high schools still don’t know if any of their fall sports teams will have a season this spring.
Albuquerque Public Schools Superintendent Scott Elder met with them on Tuesday.
“As things stand currently, they might be told they can’t play fall sports,” Elder told the Journal in an interview. “As of today, we wouldn’t make it.”
The APS board meets next on Feb. 17. Elder said there is a qualifier to Tuesday’s meeting – “that we are working towards a plan that perhaps will be acceptable to allow kids to play.”

Details of the plan are unknown, but Elder did say it would be presented during the board meeting next week.
