As the name suggests, the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish was originally formed to manage game and fish, and much of its budget still comes from licenses for hunting and fishing. But several panelists at a Thursday meeting of the Legislature's interim Water and Natural Resources Committee pushed for a broader focus — and a more diverse funding base — so the department can do a better job managing the many non-game species that fall under its purview. One biologist at Game and Fish is dedicated specifically to the thr...

ROSWELL – Roswell High rallied from a one-set deficit on Monday night for a 19-25, 25-21, 25-23, 25-16 win over Portales High.

The Lady Coyotes (10-1) finally took control with a dominant fourth set. “We played some really good volleyball at times, but we had too many errors,” she said. “It was a good, dominant first set.

Gaia Chies scored early, and the Eastern New Mexico University women’s soccer team made it stand up on Sunday for a 1-0 victory over Colorado Christian at Steve Loy Family Foundation Stadium, the Greyhounds’ first win of the season. Chies, a junior midfielder from Italy, took a pass from senior midfielder Meghann Wingsutton and curled the ball past Cougars goalkeeper Alana Lopp and into the top corner of the net with just over 7 ½ minutes gone – one of just two shots on goal for the Hounds in the match. Meantime, the Cougar...
ALBUQUERQUE – Clovis High’s boys kept winning on Saturday, but veteran CHS coach Greg Trujillo is a bit concerned with District 4-5A competition about ready to begin.

Portales High’s football team has developed a bit of a rivalry against Los Lunas-based Valencia over the past few years. Now the teams find themselves in the same district as they prepare for Friday’s 7 p.m. clash at Eastern New Mexico University’s Steve Loy Family Foundation Stadium. It’s the fourth year in a row the teams have played. After splitting a pair of tightly contested games the first two seasons, the Rams ran away to a 51-0 victory in 2023. PHS coach Jaime Ramirez doesn’t expect a repeat of that on Friday ni...

Amanda Brungart, the airport’s director, said 250 people, 25 cars and six aircraft were in attendance Saturday despite severe thunderstorm threats. “We had a Cessna 414, we had a Cessna Caravan, which was a freight aircraft that came in, and then a couple of our base tenants were able to come out as well,” Brungart said. While Brungart said she was pleased with the event, she said it was “somewhat minimized...

Suffice it to say, Eastern New Mexico University’s volleyball team has turned it around against Sul Ross State over the years – and the Greyhounds are glad to now see the Alpine, Texas-based Lobos in the Lone Star Conference.

ALBUQUERQUE – Clovis High’s football team broke its lengthy scoring drought on Thursday night and stayed competitive for much of the game.
