41–35 nail-biter victory over UNLV increases win streak to four Photo by UW Athletics In a high-stakes game in Las Vegas on Saturday night, the Cowboys pulled through with a close win over UNLV Rebels, increasing their win streak to four straight games. With this win, the Cowboys put themselves alone in second place in the conference at 5–1 and now are in the driver’s seat to claim one of the spots in the Mountain West championship game come December. “I’m so proud of this team, proud of this group for how they fight day in, day out,” Coach Jay Sawvel said after what could be considered the biggest win of his career. “When you talk about Wyoming and talk about Wyoming grit, I think that was in play with this team tonight.” Grit was necessary to pull the win out. After star Quarterback Tyler Hughes was sidelined for the rest of the contest after the second quarter due to an arm injury, backup Landon Sims took the reins of the offense.

Cowboys set to Gamble their Mountain West Hopes in Las Vegas Photo by Rylee Lingenfelter After a three-game winning streak, the Cowboys, on fresh legs after the bye week, are set to travel down to Las Vegas on Saturday for a primetime showdown against UNLV. The game has major implications for seeding in the Mountain West Championships, with both teams sitting at 3-1 in the conference. A loss for either team would essentially remove them from contention of making the championship game. “We don’t put up a slide of the standings of the conference. We don’t need to do that,” Sawvel said in an interview with Pokes Insider. “We know there’s two teams that have one loss in the conference that are going to play Saturday night in a big game.” No. 22 New Mexico currently sits at the top of the conference, and at 7-1 overall, 4-0 in conference, they are the frontrunners for one spot in the Mountain West Championship game on Dec. 4.

Nearby: Santa Fe, NMA teen boy from Santa Fe died under unclear circumstances following an incident last month at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, where he was attending school, officials have confirmed. Public officials had provided little information as of Wednesday about the incident that preceded the death of 16-year-old Juan Geovanny Sagche López. Sagche López was a cadet at the school, which is a public, state-run military boarding high school and junior college in the southeastern New Mexico city. An incident involving the teenage boy that brought police and emergency workers to the school occurred Oct. 17. Officers from Roswell Police Department were dispatched in response to the incident, but the New Mexico Military Institute handled the investigation “in house,” an employee at the law enforcement agency said in a phone call this week. The agency was notified of Sagche López’s death by forensic investigators Oct. 22.

Nearby: Santa Fe, NMBy Matt Mondschein, Source New Mexico As locals lined the sidewalks in Santa Fe for a Veterans Day parade on Wednesday, some vets used the moment to reflect on their service and struggles. One of the locals taking pictures as the parade passed through was Gilbert Martinez, a native New Mexican who served aboard the USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier during the Vietnam War. Martinez told Source NM he had a “very good experience” and was “grateful” to serve in the Navy. One happy moment while serving, Martinez said, was when his commanding officer granted him leave to celebrate his cousin’s birthday, who was also serving in the Navy and was aboard a nearby vessel anchored outside Danang, Vietnam. “They got me on a helicopter and flew me over there to celebrate my cousin and flew me back in the evening,” Martinez said.

Nearby: Santa Fe, NMI’ve often said there’s this category of restaurant in Santa Fe that we all like having around in theory, but that we tend to forget about when the pressure’s on. Luckily, then, Santa Fe is one of those wonderful towns where you’ll run into someone you know, even a little bit, and they’ll tell you they’re waiting tables at such-and-such restaurant, and you should totally stop by for weekend brunch. That’s precisely what happened outside a local coffee shop one afternoon when I heard the words, “Hello, you beautiful man,” shouted from a passing car, assumed they were for some other guy and then wheeled around to see one Arthur Martinson—a super-nice dude I know just a little bit and who, when I run into him, has always suggested I should try whatever restaurant on which he’s been digging. In this case, Martinson told me, he’s been serving at Museum Hill Café (710 Camino Lejo, (505) 984-8900) from pretty famous owner Weldon Fulton. The brunch, Martinson said, was excellent.
