Jerry Apodaca was a football player at the University of New Mexico, and that sense of competition never evaporated when he traded his shoulder pads for a real contact sport: politics. Determined and gritty, Apodaca parlayed his background in athletics, the insurance business and two terms in the state Senate into the highest office in New Mexico. A Democrat, he was elected governor in 1974, the first Hispanic to head the state in the modern era. Apodaca died Wednesday morning following what may have been a stroke at his...
PORTALES – With two of the top offensive teams in the Lone Star Conference matched up and the wind blowing out to right-center for the most part, it would have been surprising to see a pitchers duel in Friday's series opener between Eastern New Mexico University and Lubbock Christian at Greyhound Field. Throw in a a noticeably tighter-than-usual strike zone, and it wasn't surprising to see a football score at the end of the day. LCU jumped in front 6-0 early, then held on a...
PORTALES – Probably needing a series win to earn a spot in the Class 4A state baseball tournament, Portales High was just three outs away in Thursday night's opener at Ram Field. Then the roof fell in. Lovington, which was in the same predicament as the Rams, opened the seventh inning with six consecutive hits capped by a home run, and the Wildcats turned a 4-3 deficit into a 9-4 victory at Ram Field. In Friday's doubleheader at Lovington, the Wildcats (12-14, 4-5 district) ma...
CLOVIS – It was most likely too little, too late, but if nothing else the Clovis High baseball team ended its regular season on a winning note. Likely needing a series sweep to have a chance to make the 16-team Class 5A state tournament field, the Wildcats bounced back from Thursday's tough 3-2 loss at Roswell High to edge the Coyotes twice, 10-9 in eight innings and 4-3, on Friday night at Bell Park. Friday's sweep also ended the Coyotes' chances of sneaking into the 5A field...
