Socorro (345) has a 46-stroke lead over Gateway Christian (391), which is currently second. Texico (406) is in third place.

It’s a super tight race in the boys competition, with seven strokes separating first through fourth place where the Socorro Warriors currently sit. Mesilla Valley leads the pack with a 321 score, NMMI is second with a 324, and St. Michael’s is at 327 to Socorro’s 328.

Isaiah Silva’s even par 72 left him in third place after the first day. He trails Mason Hicks (NMMI 68) and Troy Oswald (Gateway Christian 71). Andrew Handrich is in eighth place with a 77.

RISE: A PILOT PROGRAM! The Socorro County Detentio RISE: A PILOT PROGRAM! The Socorro County Detention Center’s RISE welding program held its second graduation and certified four new welders on May 8. Despite a skeptical start, the program had its first graduating class in September of last year and is now recognized as the state’s pilot program. 
During the graduation ceremony and short speeches by welding CTE instructor Kenny Gonzales, Eddie Garcia, the Socorro County detention administrator, and school board member Dave Hick it was evident the program does more than teach welding.
The graduates have developed strong emotional bonds that have come about from the encouragement being offered. 
While he was unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts, Socorro County Manager Andy Lotrich helped bring about the program when Garcia and Hicks approached him about the idea. 
At least seven other New Mexico counties are following suit and they have patterned their programs after the one in Socorro County.
