SANTA FE — In an occasionally blistering 27-page opinion filed Thursday, the Supreme Court of New Mexico adopted findings last year from the disciplinary board ordering the indefinite suspension of Portales attorney Eric Dixon’s law license. The court said “Dixon’s conduct was, at best, extremely careless and sloppy” and “became increasingly deceptive” regarding a fictitious plaintiff erroneously named in a federal lawsuit against the Roosevelt County Detention Center. Dixon named a male inmate Jessie Aguilar as one of 10...
PORTALES - Teams having special seasons, teams looking like championship contenders usually have at least one game of the gut-check, character-building variety throughout the course of a season. Check all of the above for the Eastern New Mexico women's basketball team. The Greyhounds are title contenders in the Lone Star Conference, and needed to bag Thursday's home game against LSC foe Tarleton State to burnish that contender status. And despite trailing almost the entire sec...
CLOVIS - You again? That was the theme of Friday's Volcano Vista-Clovis girls basketball game at Rock Staubus Gymnasium. After all, it was a mere 20 days earlier that the teams had met at the Rock for the championship game of Clovis' holiday basketball tournament. Volcano Vista won that late-December game and Friday's, too, pulling away in the latter for a 62-34 rout of the Lady Wildcats. Different score, but not all that different in general. "It was pretty much the same,"...
PORTALES - The Eastern New Mexico men's basketball team may remember Jan. 17, 2019 for the remainder of this season. Maybe longer. It was the night an injury-riddled 2018-19 team seemed to find itself. Hosting Lone Star Conference foe Tarleton State at Greyhound Arena Thursday night, the Hounds trailed almost the whole game, rallied to grab the lead before falling behind one last time, then won 70-68 on sophomore guard Devin Pullum's right-elbow trey with three seconds left....

OFFENSIVE Tyesha Taylor, West Texas A&M University, SR, Criminal Justice, Center, Temple, Texas, Temple HS Taylor continued her strong senior campaign this past weekend as the Temple, Texas native averaged 22.0 points per contest as the No. 2 Lady Buffs fell at Texas A&M-Kingsville before picking up a thrilling buzzer-beater win at No. 18 Angelo State to move to 13-1 overall and 5-1 in the LSC.

PORTALES — Both Portales High basketball teams looked to use Tuesday’s cross-state games with Lubbock’s Trinity Christian as educational experiences. And both did learn, though it might not have seemed so from a glance at the Ram Athletic Center scoreboard after each game. The Portales boys lost 51-34, not long after the Lady Rams had fallen 62-58. Yet each was encouraged by what they may have gained from their game, how they may have evolved, as district play grew closer. The young Portales girls may have learned the most...
FALFURRIAS, Texas - The college students took turns removing yellowed shards of bone from a trench carved between the headstones in this ranching town's cemetery. The volunteers were here to help exhume the remains of unidentified migrants buried near what's been the busiest stretch of border for illicit crossings in recent years: Texas' Rio Grande Valley. The students found 15 bodies, but said based on sheriff's records, there were probably more crammed between the existing...
LUBBOCK — Eastern New Mexico junior Ivar Moinat got a hot start to what is a short indoor track and field season, breaking two school records and helping break a third at the Red Raider Invitational at Texas Tech University. Moinat finished second in the 400-meter at 48.74 and fourth in the 800-meter at 1:51.51, and then teamed up with Trevonne Armstead, Brandon Chavez and Andrew Villegas to go 3:18.22 in the 4-by-400 relay.

PORTALES — In his last game at Greyhound Stadium, Jeremie Karngbaye left a winner in front of a raucous home crowd, anchoring a stout defense that helped the host Portales Rams win the Class 4A football championship. If Karngbaye wins his next game at the stadium, it might be a quieter crowd — with the notable exception of a large extended family. The 2017 Portales High graduate signed last week with Division II West Texas A&M, where he will likely play at tight end for the Lone Star Conference’s Buffaloes. The 6-foo...
On this date ... 1969: Eastern New Mexico University's nationally recognized basketball team was fresh off an 83-73 win over the University of Albuquerque Dons. ENMU's Greg Hyder scored 28 points, while teammate John Irwin pitched in 22. The fast-breaking Greyhounds would go on to win the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics championship that March in Kansas City, Missouri. ENMU beat Maryland State, 99-76, in the finals. The University of Albuquerque closed in...
PORTALES — The Portales City Council will consider whether or not to terminate a joint powers agreement with Roosevelt County during Tuesday’s meeting. Portales City Manager Sammy Standefer said currently the Portales Police Department is housed in a building owned by the county, with the JPA serving like a lease agreement. Standefer said the police department will be moving into a new building, so the council will be tasked with considering the termination of the agreement. Also at Tuesday’s meeting, scheduled for 6:30...
