ALBUQUERQUE — Facing No. 7 Sandia is a little bit of "pick your poison" with senior Cara Liggins and sophomore Sabirah Broussard averaging nearly 30 points a night. Clovis held Broussard to four points nine days ago, only to see Liggins score 35 in a 67-50 Sandia win. Wednesday, it was Broussard with 24 and Liggins with 18 as the seventh-ranked Matadors pulled a clean sweep over Clovis with a 65-55 victory in the second round of the District 2-6A tournament. Sandia (21-5), win...

A few years ago when we lost our elementary art educational assistants, classroom teachers took up the slack for art education. Naturally, that presented a bit of teacher overload, when combined with the regular required curriculum. Casting about for viable solutions, we looked at an annual fine arts grant, the majority of which goes toward the Clovis schools’ music program. With some reorganizing and juggling of funds we were able to hire a certified teacher to travel to all of our elementary school sites to teach art to s...

Editor’s note: This is one in a series profiling local educators each week. A career in teaching is the ultimate method of “paying it forward” for Clovis High School pre-advanced placement world history teacher Drew Hatley. Because he was molded by teachers throughout the Clovis Municipal Schools system, Hatley felt it was natural to return to his roots after graduating from Eastern New Mexico University. “There’s been a lot of teachers and educators and coaches that have made a profound influence and effect in my life, givin...
A group of Texico High School students are planning a fair project that will last for years to come. During Tuesday’s Curry County Commission meeting, members discussed an approximate $15,000 request for purchase of a double-faced, illuminated sign from an Albuquerque company. The price included installation at the East Brady Avenue entrance to the Curry County Fairgrounds. As the discussion continued, Commissioner Robert Thornton suggested Texico’s Future Farmers of America (FFA) students tackle creation of the 10-foot by...
After emerging the regional victors of a nationwide science competition, a group of area students gained a plethora of rewards, both monetarily and intellectually.

Fletcher, 17, explained that the group focused their pro...

The stars are aligning (or it might be more accurate to say that seasoned ground beef and the Jolly Roger are colliding) this week to give us a rare opportunity to address this puzzler: Do pirates eat chili? More specifically, do pirates eat Kiwanis chili? The pirates in question are, of course, “The Pirates of Penzance.” They have been on a quest of capturing hearts in eastern New Mexico since Eastern New Mexico University’s production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera o...
