Rams' basketball opener postponed

PORTALES — The Portales High boys basketball opener against Roswell High, scheduled for tonight at the Ram Athletic Center, has been postponed due to the school’s participation in Saturday’s Class 4A state football championship game at Greyhound Stadium.

PHS athletic director Mark Gallegos said the teams are looking at playing the game in the afternoon on Dec. 21. Both schools will out on holiday break by that time.

Both PHS squads were to play on Saturday at Texico. Instead, the girls game has been rescheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Friday, while the boys contest has been moved to Dec. 17.
