In state sports news, condolences go out to the family and friends of Organ Mountain High School football senior linebacker Abe Romero, who passed away Saturday evening. Romero was in a medically induced coma brought on by injuries sustained during a game with the Deming Wildcats on Aug. 28, where in the second quarter he was hit, then later unexpectedly collapsed. The mayor of Las Cruces deemed Sept. 22 Abe Romero Day, as that was the number he wore.
