Dad goes the extra mile(s) for Lobo De La Cerda

Jaedyn De La Cerda has racked up some eye-popping numbers over five seasons with the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team.

Her dad has, too.

Midway through her super-senior season, De La Cerda stands 12th on the Lobos’ career scoring list with 1,149 points and fifth in program history with 165 made 3-pointers. Not bad for a 5-foot-6 guard from Roswell who scored just 23 points and made two 3-pointers as a freshman.

During the same time span, Willie De La Cerda has posted ridiculous numbers of his own. These appear on the odometer of his gray 2009 Ford Ranger.
