DENTON, Texas — Bouncing back nicely from Tuesday's frustrating loss against previously winless Western New Mexico, the Eastern New Mexico University women's basketball team earned a road win over Texas Woman's, 64-58, Thursday night. Eastern had to hang on, though, after leading by as many as 16 in the fourth quarter. Texas Woman's chipped and chipped away before the Greyhounds finally prevailed, improving to 14-9 overall, 10-6 in the ever-important Lone Star Conference s...

FLOYD — The Grady girls basketball team came into Thursday night's game against Floyd a little under-manned and needing a win to keep pace with other top-ranked teams in 1A girls basketball. The Bronchos did just that with a strong second half showing to notch a 49-36 District 4-1A victory over the Broncos. "Tonight's a little different for us, because I'm playing without one of my starters. So, we had to make some adjustments there," Grady head coach Tammy Northcutt e...

I’ve been trying to do some thinking — which is harder than I thought. I’ve tried it a few times before, but what’s made this latest attempt particularly difficult is that I’ve been trying to think about thinking. This is Alan Jacobs’ fault. A Baylor University professor, Jacobs has recently written a book entitled How To Think. I figured he wrote it because as a college professor grading thousands of student papers, he sees firsthand how rare it is for real thinking to occur....
On this date ... 1978: Larry Fuqua was appointed director of admissions for Eastern New Mexico University in Portales, to replace Kay Gunn when her retirement became official on July 1. Fuqua, who held two degrees from ENMU, was first hired in the admissions office in 1970 as assistant director of admissions. In 1974, he was named director of New Student Relations, and his primary responsibility was working with new and potential ENMU enrollees. His position was expanded to in...
The belief in God’s protection is something that is often heard in everyday conversations. We speak of about God’s protection when we think about tragedies such as car accidents or terroristic events. Many of us have expressed thanks to God for protecting our families and those we love from unexpected tragedies. But does God protect us in spiritual conflicts? We think of God’s protection when it comes to being physically hurt. Yet, just as important are those times when God p...
Perhaps you’ve heard of the famous cat that ol’ Schrödinger put in a box. The idea being illustrated is the problem with knowing the state of things if you can’t (or won’t) take a look — or any other kind of observation or measurement, eyes aren’t the only option. Thus, the question arises, as to what one would assume when one does not have a way to know for sure. The razor that Occam apparently kept around would say that the simplest answer is the one to operate on if the od...
CLOVIS — A man convicted in 2015 for the murder of a young boy in Clovis has succeeded through appeal in reducing his prison time from a life sentence plus 31 1/2 years to a life sentence plus 21 1/2 years, following a state Supreme Court ruling issued Thursday. “What was very important to us was the life sentence for murder,” District Attorney Andrea Reeb said after learning about Noe Torres' successful appeal. “I’m still very satisfied with the sentence. I’m disappointed we lost 10 years of it, but I don’t think it ultimate...
FLOYD — A strong third-quarter push allowed the Floyd Broncos to pull ahead for good in a 58-47 boys basketball 1A-District 4 win over Grady Thursday night. The Broncos outscored Grady, 22-9 in the third period. “We did real good with boxing out and we trapped pretty effectively,” Floyd coach Steve Foust said. “The guys came in really focused, and they did a great job against Chisum Rush and Lucas Whitehead, who are two really tough players.” Grady (13-11, 5-4) led by five to start the second quarter, but a 12-4 second qu...
