Will and James talk Robertson, the prep hoops postseason and Lobos scenarios

Santa Fe New Mexican sports writers Will Webber and James Barron start the third episode of “The New Mexican Sports Den” by discussing the recent arrest of Robertson boys basketball coach James Branch, who was charged with criminal sexual contact with a minor on Friday. Barron shares his reporting on the story and the implications for a Robertson team that is a contender in Class 3A. The guys then offer an overview of the prep hoops landscape as we enter district tournament play. On the boys’ side, they talk about the strength of the field in Class 4A and local contenders in 3A, including St. Michael’s, Robertson and Santa Fe Indian School. Will and James then get into Lobos talk, discussing the race in the Mountain West and scenarios for the University of New Mexico men’s basketball team as the end of the regular season quickly approaches. They close the show by looking back at the high school state meets in swimming and diving, as well as wrestling.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
