By Peter Stein STAFF WRITER [email protected] Championship seasons don’t go unnoticed by All- Star voters. And this year was no exception. When the votes were in for the 3A All-State baseball team, seven players from Texico’s 27-2 state championship squad had been selected. Among that seven were four first-teamers, a second-teamer and two honorable mentions. And, icing the cake were the selections of Texico shortstop/pitcher Dalton Thatcher as Player of the Year and the Wolverines’ Ty Thatcher as Coach of the Year. Pretty good haul. “I was impressed with the number of kids (selected),” Ty Thatcher said. “I think they were well-deserved honors.

THE EASTERN NEW MEXICO NEWS SPORTS WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 2018 ✦ PAGE 3B Texas native Reed wants another major ❏ After winning Masters, he’s now after British, too.

By Tim Dahlberg THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CARNOUSTIE, Scotland — Patrick Reed would fig- ure to be a player British fans love to hate, largely due to his passionate play for the other side in the Ryder Cup. But at least one Scot found something to like Tuesday as the Masters champion tried a variety of shots in a British Open practice round on the links of Carnoustie before hitting a Scottish-like punch 6-iron that ran some 100 yards on the ground before ending up next to the pin on the 16th green. “That’s the one!” the fan shouted, drawing a smile and a thumbs-up from Reed. The shot was another indi- cation that the baked-out links of Carnoustie plays entirely different than the lushly manicured fairways of Augusta National, where Reed had his breakthrough win in April to claim the green jacket. But it’s not like Reed believes he’s not prepared to win a second major and establish himself as one of the big threats in golf. He talked after his practice round about his wife and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Jason Getz team he has put together to do just that. Patrick Reed acknowledges the crowd after winning the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club in April. Beginning tonight (11 p.m. MDT), Reed “I just know that we’re on will have his sights set on winning the British Open, too. the right path and what we’re doing is the right thing, and majors, put too much pres- year, won the Masters in Reed said. “And see if I can “You would have thought I “The biggest thing is I we just need to keep grind- sure on myself, having to go April and finished fourth last have fun and play creative golf would have come over here ing and keep on going,” play well, having to do this, month at the U.S. Open. because I think that’s what it’s and have a lot of mixed treat them like they’re Reed said. “And hopefully having to make birdie here.
