I've got a new batch of prep notes up on our website, and in print Thursday. Talked to Cleveland QB Jordan Hatch about his decision to attend NMSU (in 2 years), plus items on metro wrestling coming up this weekend, Rio Rancho's new Hall of Fame Class, and some awards talk.

The only Lobo to have led his team in scoring, rebounding and assists for a season.

Fun read from @KenSickenger. A little,sad, too, but good for all of us that his byline, while changed, isn’t leaving.

No one, including my mom, looks for my stories on A1 of the @ABQJournal. Rare exception here. Had fun with this one. 🙂 abqjournal.com/sports/sicks-p…

I'm not saying Uriah Tenette would win 6th Man of the Year over guys like BJ Davis or Makaih Williams right now, but I'm telling you I think Uriah Tenette, as a 5-10 freshman, is already filling as important or valuable a role as a 6th man as anyone in the Mountain West.
