  With Los Alamos center Chris Jackson sitting on the bench with a bit of foul trouble for much of the first half, someone else had to step up for the Hilltoppers on Wednesday against Taos.

Santa Fe Prep 74, Questa 55: Transition basketball was the name of the game, and no one did it better than Santa Fe Preparatory's Justin Conway in the nondistrict win over the Wildcats (7-10).

Los Alamos would eventually reclaim the lead at 56-55 when senior Tim Johnson sank a pair of free throws with 2:40 left. It was a lead Los Alamos wouldn't surrender. Santa Fe was held without a field goal in the final 5:12 of the game. Game Notes: Los Alamos sported brand-new black road uniforms during the game. Dumping its traditional green uniforms from a year ago, the Hilltoppers also wore predominantly black warm-ups during pregame drills. The Demons' C-Team hammered the Hilltoppers 83-39, while Santa Fe's junior varsity overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter for a dramatic 49-48 triumph.

In boys 4A play, Capital High School's Marcus Martinez surprised the field by shooting a 2-under 70 to assume a two-stroke advantage over Albuquerque Academy's Casey Caldwell. A junior, Martinez finished the front nine at 1-under 35 before opening the back with three birdies and a par. Martinez's teammate, Paul Romero, struggled to a 79 after a rough outing on the back nine. Angel Fire resident Jim Honea, a senior who competes for Albuquerque Academy, also had problems; he checked in with an 83. Los Alamos senior Brandon Rich and Eric Trujillo each shot a 4- over 76 to lead the Hilltoppers.

The rich, as in Brandon Rich, is a 6-5 swingman and the team's second-leading scorer behind [Chris Jackson], and he can change the complexion of a game in a hurry.

When the defense extended to contest his shots, Rich dumped the ball in to Jackson and Johnson for easy layups. Jackson finished with 18 points. Johnson had nine.

  Los Alamos (22-3) was down by as much as eight points to the inspired Warriors (16-8) in a game played at Las Cruces High School. Each time the Hilltoppers managed to draw within a few points of Ruidoso, slick defensive play by the Warriors forced Los Alamos turnovers that turned into quick buckets for Ruidoso. Los Alamos, which plays Kirtland Central (20-4) today at 7 p.m. in the tournament quarterfinals at Las Cruces High, was led in the do- or-die battle against Ruidoso by juniors Chris Jackson and Brandon Rich. The two Hilltoppers each scored 24 points. 1. Brandon Kluk leaps onto the back of teammate Brandon Rich after the Hilltoppers' 75-68 victory. [Jake Sena] stands at left. 2.
