Snow Should Cancel Tuesday Games

Snow is bearing down on the Four Corners in a big way.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning effective until Tuesday afternoon, including a period of heavy snow Monday night.

As much as six inches are expected in Farmington, while Aztec could see an additional few inches.

That said, there are four local basketball games and one wrestling match that will be affected if schools close Tuesday:

Boys Basketball
7 p.m. -- Bloomfield at Navajo Prep
7 p.m. -- Tohatch at Shiprock
7 p.m. -- Gallup at Farmington

Girls Baskeball
7 p.m. -- Tohatchi at Piedra Vista

Wrestling
San Juan (Utah) at Piedra Vista

Kirtland Central's boys and girls basketball games at Durango (Colo.) also will be affected.

I think there's an 85 percent chance all those events will be postponed or canceled.

One last note. No. 2 Goddard beat No. 1 Belen 28-21 in the 4A state championship game yesterday. I said on the radio I expected Belen to complete their dynasty season, comparing them to the 2007 Patriots. Little did I know how accurate that comparison would be.

Also, after a game this week at Kirtland, while I waited on Bloomfield coach Steve Scott to emerge from the locker room, I decided to try to touch the ceiling in that hallway. I think it's 11 feet.

I spent more than five minutes jumping for it, and I've been limping for a few days with a strained left quad. Hard to believe I'm so out of shape, but I'm becoming an old man at 23.

Good luck to anyone that has to do any driving on Monday night.

Stay true and keep pounding,
Christopher
