Ram Snior QB Stevan Bailey, who I thought had a chance to be a D2 QB, was suspended for 20 days yesterday for "breaking the code of conduct", which was reported on Albuq TV last night as failing a drug test. Injuries are a part of the game and they have hit the team hard in the last two weeks but doing something stupid as this just lets the team down and is a selfish act. I havent always agreed with the administration that runs the athletic department at RRHS but they got this one right.

Sorry to hear that Mike. But unfortunately that kind of stuff happens everywhere, and Artesia is no exception. In fact, I seem to remember not TOO long ago......maybe 5, 6, 7 years ago.......heck, maybe not even that long ago, that we had a bunch of players who got busted at a party. If I remember correctly, we lost 6 maybe 7 STARTERS for the entire season. Booted off the team for the remainder of the year! Yes, the entire season, Coach Henderson doesn't play around with that kind of stuff. I think it's ok for me to talk about it on here since I am not naming any names. Wish I could remember exactly which season it was. Maybe Randall or somebody else remembers the exact season. I know that when it happened it was talked about extensively on here. Anybody? AND if I remember correctly, I think we won State that year.....I could be wrong. But like they say when crap like that happens.....NEXT MAN UP!

I went to the Artesia/Silver City game in Silver that year and had some people tell me that they lost some players for rule violations.

Did Cleveland lost their starting QB and their starting runnerback for the season. Hey Mikemoe do you know #40 K. Baker on the Rio Rancho team.

Seems almost just like yesterday. I remember that game against Silver......obviously I was wrong about the State Title that year.

They also lost their star running back Josh Foley for the season after breaking a bone in his foot last week. They also lost their best and biggest lineman Grant Hermanns (Iowa State Bound) for the year also...Its in the Rio Rancho Observer. So that's three key starters prior to having to play Cleveland next week. I feel for them. Its going to be really tough to continue winning with those three players out. I still wish them good luck!

It was in 2005. I went to the Artesia/Silver City game in Silver that year and had some people tell me that they lost some players for rule violations. 2005, huh? Wow, how time flies. Seems almost just like yesterday. I remember that game against Silver......obviously I was wrong about the State Title that year. Delta got it right on the last post it was the Rams who lost the players to injury and now to the QB being selfish. I didnt name all of the injured players because thats part of the game. No I dont know any of the individual players, I sit next to native american parents whose son filled in for Hermanns at left tackle and did a good job, named Evan (dont know last) is about 6'3" 260 and only a Soph so may be somebody to keep an eye on in the future. I'll be out of town for the Cleveland game but will be back for the playoffs, it will be a preview of next year except Foley wil be back.

Quoted the wrong person, meant to quote Rapid who asked me if I knew one of the players.

This player is only a sophomore, his freshman year he made varsity and I heard he's awesome football player.His grand father and his grand father brother play on the Artesia 1968, 1969 state championship team. I watch both of them play for Artesia. They are real good friend of mine.One of these day I wanna come up there to watch him play. By the way there were three brothers play for Artesia... The Baker Brothers
