TEXICO – It's hard to imagine a 26-point swing in a game where neither team reaches 40. It happened Thursday night, though, as Texico's girls opened District 6-2A with a 39-29 victory over Clayton. The Lady Wolverines looked to be in deep trouble, trailing 21-11 midway through the second quarter, but they scored the final six points of the half and held the Lady Yellowjackets to just two free throws over a span of 18 minutes. By the time Clayton (16-4 overall), ranked No. 3 i...

The only years they didn’t reach 20 were in 2017-18, when they went 19-11, and 2011-12, when they were 17-12. Seniors Ceasar Amaya with 11 points and Nathan Guevara with 10 to...
PORTALES – Portales High's boys posted an exhilarating win on Friday night to start District 4-4A action. Meantime, the Lady Rams came up just a bit short. The boys erased a nine-point halftime deficit to topple Roswell Goddard 64-55 at the Ram Athletic Center, while the Lady Rams led most of the way through regulation, only to fall in overtime 61-54 to the Lady Rockets. In the boys tilt, the Rams (13-7 overall) led early before the Rockets (10-11) stormed back for a 38-29 h...
TEXICO – When the going got tough in the final quarter, Texico's boys rode their two big guns to victory.

Askew finished with 30 points, getting 14 in the final canto, while Figg added seven of his 16 down the stretch. Clayton (12-7 overall) led most of the way into the third qu...
SAN ANGELO, Texas – Eastern New Mexico University’s basketball teams found themselves in holes on Thursday night that they were unable to escape. ENMU’s men trailed by 19 points with 6 ½ minutes to go in the first half, then held 21st-ranked Angelo State to two points the rest of the stanza to get back in contention before falling late to the Rams 73-70. In the women’s contest, the Hounds again saw a spirited comeback fall short in a 79-74 setback to the 25th-ranked Rambelles. The men, who handed ASU its only LSC loss on...
CLOVIS – Clovis High's boys show flashes of their potential on Friday night. The problem is trying to do things with more consistency. Against a team like Hobbs, 18 turnovers and only eight points from anyone not named Marvin Cox in the first half left the Wildcats well short of what they needed. To their credit, CHS battled hard and made their rival have to play a little after the intermission, but it was nowhere near enough in a District 4-5A-opening 74-58 loss to the E...
RICHARDSON, Texas – Eastern New Mexico University’s softball team, under second-year coach Amanda Fefel, was tabbed for 12th place in the 15-team Lone Star Conference race this season in a poll released earlier this week.

ENMU brings back its top pitcher in senior right-hander Brook Leger, who finished second in the league last season with 169 strikeouts, and its top h...
