Jose Murillo finishes with 40 points and 20 rebounds, and closes out one of the great state tournaments any boy or girl has ever had in this state. He scored 143 points and grabbed 73 rebounds in Highland's four postseason victories.

Boys and girls, I know a lot of you are asking me what data the state is using to support this decision. And I chasing that. When I know, I shall pass it along. But believe me, I'm with y'all. This is absurd.

Look at former St. Pius Sartan Grant Smith celebrating as Kentucky advances to the CWS.

Apparently, Highland's volleyball losing was 118 in a row before tonight, dating to Sept. 26 of 2013. That's almost hard to fathom, a losing streak that goes on that long. You gotta be happy for those girls.

Del Norte coach Jeron McIntosh just got back to me. The official number for his senior guard, Shane Douma-Sanchez, tonight, in the Knights' loss to Eldorado? That would be 60 points. Which places him ninth on the all-time records list in NM. And No. 1 all-time from an ABQ kid.

BREAKING NEWS: The state of New Mexico .... will allow local schools ... to open their concession stands for high school sporting events!!! (Is there a sarcasm emoji? Not sure.) But the concession stands opening is a real thing. Also, overnight travel now permitted, I am told.

I hope against hope that somebody -- ANYBODY -- in Santa Fe reads this and will expedite a policy change. (This came from the AJ's editorial board, following my story Sunday). It’s safe, and time, to let NM’s youth athletes unmask #abq via @abqjournal

This shoots up the list as one of my favorite stories of the calendar year: Manzano football coach Phillip Martinez and his wife were together at 5:41 p.m. today when his wife gave birth to their daughter. Then Phillip rushed to Cleveland to coach his team. Amazing story.

BREAKING OK, boys and girls, here's something to liven up your Sunday: QB Aden Chavez is back at Cibola. Has left Florida, where he moved, and is back living in NM and practicing with the Cougars. I just confirmed this within the past 30 minutes. An extraordinary development.

On a personal/professional note, I do have some other news that just became official last night ... starting Aug. 25, I will be a weekly co-host for 101.7 FM The Team's weekly high school sports show, along with Gary Herron of the Rio Rancho Observer. Pretty stoked.
