Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of stories about local athletes who participated in multiple North-South All-Star Games last week. If you’ve ever seen Nathan Phipps scrapping for rebounds in gyms across eastern New Mexico or belting no-doubt homers everywhere from bucolic Texico Field to professional Isotopes Park in Albuquerque, you probably understand. You’d know why Nathan Phipps — who graduated last month from Texico High School after helping the Wolverines capture three consecutive state baseball titles... Full story

The senior missed scoring team points for the women by all of just .02 seconds. Tuesday was another solid day for Vick, but a slight step b...
Just when you think the level of discourse and civility in this country can’t get any lower, you are proven wrong — as illustrated by two stories that have competed for headlines this month. The first was an incredibly offensive tweet by Roseanne Barr — who managed to sink her hit new television show in which she played essentially herself, a Trump supporter.

Even if the gun is hidden at first, every law comes down to “do as we say or we’ll kill you.” At best, the newlyweds will get a cake they dare not eat. So why follow this path? Perhaps they claim to only want things to be fair. Guess what — fairness isn’t a feature of the real world. You may as well accept the fa...
