Every year, the New Mexico House of Representatives plays the New Mexico Senate in a "friendly" game of basketball. This year, the House maintained their 9 year winning streak, beating the Senate, 61 to 51. The whole thing benefits the UNM Cancer Center and this years game was dedicated to Patty Jennings, wife of Senate Pro Tem Tim Jennings, who lost her battle with breast cancer on Valentines Day this year. The game raised an all time high $10,000.
It was surprisingly aggressive. I thought it would be competitive, but I had no idea it would get as rough as it did. But believe me, there's still a lot of comedy in politicians playing organized sports.
By the way, congratulations, Raton. You elected a damn fine basketball player to serve as your state representative.
