Although there were no high school football playoffs, and limited attendance for state basketball and state spirit, the New Mexico Activites Association is not yet operating at a deficit, executive director Sally Marquez said.
But if the current status quo has not changed for 2021-22?
“Next school year, we’ll be OK if we have fans in the stands,” Marquez said. “If we have to go back to limited fans, we will take an additional hit next year.”
The NMAA board of directors last June approved a budget with a projected deficit of $1.6 million for the 2020-21 school year. That budget accounted for no fans for fall and winter sports, Marquez said.

President Biden has laid out his vision for the future of public education, which includes a nationwide community college tuition waiver for all Americans who want to take advantage.
That waiver would be especially impactful in states with the lowest levels of higher education attainment, including several in the Mountain West. In Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming and New Mexico, fewer than 30% of adults over 25 have a bachelor s degree.
Central Wyoming College s president, Brad Tyndall, said Wyoming s low percentage is partly due to its history of high-paying jobs in the energy sector. In Wyoming we have the highest number of people who have made it to the middle class and above without a college education. Why? Oil and gas. You don t need a degree to work many jobs in those industries, Tyndall said. And now, the economy is shifting and we re in trouble. We need some major GI Bill kind of initiative to get adult learners through.

One of the elite female athletes that followed Burrell in the South Valley, Natalie Martinez (1996), a stellar basketball and softball player, is also going to be recognized.
Two important coaches in the school’s history Prentis Jones (cross country, track) and Ron Contreras (wrestling) are to be honored as well. Contreras helped to build the Ravens’ consistently excellent wrestling program. Both Jones and Contreras are deceased.
Others to be inducted include Michael Walker, a three-sport athlete who played in the mid-1960s, and coach Art De La Cruz, who had two stints as a coach at Rio Grande and he was part of the drive to get a swimming pool on campus.
