    Karl Terry, Local columnist|Updated Aug 26, 2023

    The two pups and I are still adjusting to life without my sweet doggie-loving wife who died in May. Lots of people asked me if either of the two dogs was mourning for her and as much as she would have hated to hear it, I really haven’t noticed any behavior from them that looked like they were mourning. That’s not to say that we haven’t been on a bit of a rollercoaster since she left this earth. We’ve had the older dog, a shepherd possibly pit bull mix, for 15 years this fa...

    Dave Wagner, The Staff of The News|Updated Aug 26, 2023

    PORTALES – It's been 4 ½ years since Kelley Lee last led the Eastern New Mexico University football team into a game – a 20-13 victory over Southern Arkansas in the 2019 Heritage Bowl in Corsicana, Texas.. Suffice it to say, the Greyhounds are ready for Thursday's 6 p.m. season opener against New Mexico Highlands at Greyhound Stadium. "We're tired of hitting each other, I can tell you that," Lee said.
