ALBUQUERQUE — A Colt golfer who had concentrated more on other sports for the last five years returned to the links this year, and finished with both district and state individual titles.
After a rough start to the somewhat abbreviated season, junior Jackson Hicks pulled everything together down the stretch to win each of his last four tournaments, including the District 4-3A and state tourneys.
It was just like any other normal day on March 12 until news broke out across the nation that the NCAA had announced its cancellation of spring sports for the remainder of the academic year, which included March Madness.
The ripple effect trickled down to the NJCAA which caused the organization to do the same on March 16.
Just a few weeks after on March 27 the New Mexico Activities Association followed suit and decided to put an end to spring sports and activities throughout the state.
