District seasons starting

The District 1-4A seasons for soccer and volleyball started tonight, and on the girls side, the results weren't quite as expected, at least not when looking at records.

Farmington was a 1-0 winner over Aztec, which came into the night sporting a 10-2 record and eight-game winning streak. Piedra Vista beat Kirtland Central 2-0, and the Lady Broncos also had a 10-2 mark entering Tuesday. Thus, expect another anything-goes district soccer slate, giving evidence to what just about every area coach says in mid-August: This is the most competitive district in the state.

Speaking of the Lady Panthers, there was some kind of scuffle involving parents at last weekend's game against Rio Grande. I couldn't get many details from PV coach Errol Baade, who understandably didn't want to discuss the matter (he wasn't at the contest). But parents from both sides had to be broken up. That's not good.

Another thing that's not good: The Twins losing 1-0 to the Chicago White Sox. Minnesota mustered all of two hits, calling to mind a line from "Major League." I'd recite the line here, but there's cuss words involved.

Instead, I'm going to ram my head into the wall for the next 20 minutes.
