It takes time to sort through 23,000 years of history. Especially when the research has unveiled so many unheard stories. During the early days of the pandemic Katie Stone envisioned New Mexico history lessons for groups of children. Then it turned remote as mass gatherings were canceled. As the founder and executive director of the podcast, "The Children's Hour," Stone was forced to think outside the box to get information to the masses. "The Children's Hour," is an...
Texas Tech suspended men's basketball coach Mark Adams on Sunday for "racially insensitive" remarks he allegedly made last week. Adams "referenced Bible verses about workers, teachers, parents, and slaves serving their masters," according to Texas Tech. Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt said he learned about the comments on Friday. Adams was allowed to coach Texas Tech's regular season finale on Saturday against Oklahoma State before the suspension was announced Sunday morning....

TEXICO – Texico's girls weren't about to let Mescalero sneak up on them in the first round of the Class 2A state tournament on Friday night. The seventh-seeded Lady Wolverines revved up their pressure defense, forcing a bevy of turnovers in an early 12-0 run that allowed them to cruise past the Lady Chiefs 65-28 and advance to an 11:30 a.m. Tuesday quarterfinal match against second-seeded Mesa Vista at Rio Rancho Events Center. Senior guard Catelyn Breshears tallied 16 points,...
PORTALES – Edyn Lopez didn’t get into the game until late, but she certainly had an impact for Eastern New Mexico University’s softball team on Friday. Pinch-hitting to lead off the bottom of the seventh, the sophomore from Los Lunas reached on a two-base error and eventually scored the game-tying run on senior right fielder Mikenzy Patterson’s two-out infield hit to force extra innings. Then Lopez walloped a one-out home run to center field in the bottom of the ninth, her first of the season, to give the Hounds a 4-3 win...
DIMMITT – Senior Abran Castillo hit a long 3-pointer as time expired on Tuesday night, lifting Floydada past Farwell 68-65 in a Class 2A regional quarterfinal playoff game.

FRISCO, Texas – Suffice it to say, rival West Texas A&M is a bad matchup for the Eastern New Mexico University men’s basketball team. The Buffaloes have beaten ENMU soundly all three times this season, and In the process notched the top three point totals against the Greyhounds, averaging 101 points against a team which normally allows around 70. Top-seeded WT used an early 15-0 run, spanning six minutes, and never looked back in rolling to a 97-66 quarterfinal victory over the Hounds on Thursday night. The 22nd-ranked Buf...
ALBUQUERQUE – It’s always nice to advance in a state basketball tournament. Portales High’s girls, though, came into the season with a relative lack of experience and just couldn’t quite make things work. On Friday night, the Lady Rams found themselves down by 16 points at halftime and were unable to make a second-half run in a 59-40 loss to third-seeded St. Pius in a Class 4A first-round matchup. The Sartans (21-5) advanced to take on sixth-seeded Los Alamos (20-7), a 48-38 winner on Friday over Valley, in an 11:30 a.m. qu...
LAS CRUCES – Clovis High’s girls got off to a good start on Friday night, but it all fell apart in the second half.

Clovis (20-9), seeded 10th, led 14-7 at the quarter and stayed even with the Lady Bulldawgs 18-18 at the intermission. But Cruces (21-8) went off for four 3-pointers, three by senior guard Lil...
