With '16 Banners' out, Hobbs hoops working toward No. 17

Hobbs' Devante Brown drives to the basket Tuesday during

the Eagles' athletic period at Tasker Arena.

  I stopped by the Hobbs boys basketball team's athletic period this morning for a story I'm working on for Thursday's paper (wanted to do a story on the current team as Hobbs hoops documentary "16 Banners" was out in theaters still) and the Eagles were as usual working hard.
  Starting the day with a 2-mile run, the Eagles came back inside Tasker Arena and worked on the press in a scrimmage situation in 2-minute, 30-second and 4-minute bursts.

Video - Hobbs football's 35-12 victory over Artesia

  Once again, it's a bit crudely shot but here is video from the Hobbs football team's 35-12 victory over Artesia on Friday at the Bulldog Bowl - the Eagles' first win at the legendary venue since 1991. Hobbs returns to action Friday at home against Roswell High.

Column: Hobbs football takes another step in right direction

  I pride myself in keeping rooted in reality when it comes to expectations for the teams I cover here in Lea County. 

  I’m not a fan. My job is to stay objective – report what I see.

  So keeping that in mind, when second-year Hobbs football coach Charles Gleghorn told me prior to the season the Eagles were focused on the first three games on their schedule and considered them all winnable, I thought, “He does know they play Artesia at the Bulldog Bowl in the second game of the season, right?”

  Beating Gadsden (which the Eagles did 40-14) and Roswell (a team the Eagles play at home Friday) I could see. While Hobbs hasn’t had a lot of success recently, those are programs the Eagles have defeated.

  But taking down Artesia at the Bulldog Bowl is something the Eagles haven’t done since 1991 – losing 10 straight games at the legendary venue.

Hobbs football stats through week 2

  Each week (either Saturday or Monday) I'll post the Hobbs football team's updated total statistics. Also, I forgot last week, but I'll continue posting my Sunday columns on Tuesdays during football season (if you want it sooner, buy the paper people!).

  Another note, I do have video from the Hobbs football team's win over Artesia on Friday, but haven't had a chance to put it together yet. I'll try to get to it in next few days.

  Anyway, here are the 2-0 Hobbs football team's statistics through week 2.
