La Cueva High School Put on Probation

According to a story in the Albuquerque Journal the Albuquerque Public Schools has placed La Cueva High School's athletic department on probation and banned Head Football Coach Fred Romero from coaching. According to the journal report, APS is "prohibiting Fred Romero and assistant Mike Tixier from coaching anywhere in the district for the foreseeable future after Romero, Tixier and one other coaching staff member allegedly failed to stop players from drinking alcohol on a bus ride home from Las Cruces on Nov. 26." The journal also says that APS put La Cueva's athletic department on probation through 2012. Apparently APS Superintendent Winston Brooks trumped a recommendation from the district's disciplinary committee and applied his own versions of discipline for the men. La Cueva lost its state semifinal game against eventual state champion Las Cruces-Mayfield on Thanksgiving weekend 21-17.
