  • Foxes hope for healthy campaign

    Dave Wagner

    Dexter McDaniel says with a declining enrollment and population base, winning at Fort Sumner just keeps getting tougher and tougher. So far, though, the Foxes are managing just fine. McDaniel, who has been on the football staff for 16 seasons and is entering his fourth year as head coach, hopes to lead the Foxes to something in 2007 that they’ve been unable to accomplish — a three-peat in Class 1A. Last year, Fort Sumner completed its third back-to-back run of titles with a 14-3 victory over District 2-1A rival Clayton in the...

    CNJ staff

    ROSWELL — Clovis started slow and finished strong in Friday’s scrimmage against Las Cruces, according to Clovis assistant coach Darren Kelley. Las Cruces outscored Clovis four touchdowns to two during an 80-play controlled scrimmage. The Wildcats got the better of the Bulldawgs in a 20-play, goal-line series in which the teams started at the 10-yard line. Kelley said it took a while for the Wildcats to get used to speed and intensity of playing a game-like situation. “The good thing is the mistakes we made are correctable,” K...

    CNJ Staff

    CNJ staff photo: Rick White Senior running back Manuel Robles, left, and senior quarterback Jordan Mendoza are key returning players on offense as the Clovis High Wildcats prepare to open the 2007 season next week. Manuel Robles smiles. He swears he’s going to adapt his sledgehammer running style and avoid tacklers once in a while. “I’ve got some moves,” Robles said. The Clovis High senior is already adept at dodging questions about following in the footsteps of a long line of star running backs. “I really don’t like to tal... Full story

    PNT Staff
