CLOVIS — The Clovis High football team gained separation in the second half Friday night, pulling away from Carlsbad for a 34-14 win at Leon Williams Stadium. But, Wildcat coaches and players agreed that the separation came a half too late. True, it was an emotional week for all of Clovis, but the Wildcats weren't making excuses. They were fairly upfront about first-half mistakes that wiped away scoring chances, mostly laying those mistakes at the door of their own lack of foc...
CLOVIS — The new preacher at Clovis' Central Baptist Church has two messages for the community: 1) "I don't want to just be the guy up front, I want to get to know people," Michael Kirby said. 2) "I'm a hugger." Kirby, 42, comes to the community from Ringgold, Georgia, with 20 years of service across the Southeast. He succeeds Alan McAlister, who left last year. Dick Ross, interim associate pastor, said the committee in charge of hiring the new pastor chose Kirby out of 3...
CLOVIS — Trae Clark believes in random acts, and he does them whenever he can. But he thinks the act he just finished Sunday wasn't random at all. The intricate series of events that put a jersey in his hands and Air Force-flown flags in two others, Clark said, all came together for a reason. "This is all God," Clark said. "This started at a Bible study." The Tennessee Titans website and social media accounts include clips of a flag presented to receiver and former Clovis H...
On this date ... 1977: In a front-page photo in the Clovis News-Journal, Betty Philley of the New Mexico Outdoor Drama Association showed a model of a proposed amphitheater for the Caprock canyons to Carl Jones and Dave Barth of the Clovis Evening Lions Club. The Lions Club had plans to display the tabletop diorama in its booth at the Curry County Fair, encouraging locals to come by to "learn more about the association's plans to boost the area's economy." 1947: Doors opened...
PORTALES — For nearly a quarter and a half on Friday night, it looked like the Lovington Wildcats might just have their way with the defending Class 4A state champions. Down 14-0, though, Portales High rallied back with 35 unanswered points and cruised to a 42-21 victory in the Rams' home opener at Greyhound Stadium. In the end, senior quarterback Tyrese Dawson was too much for the Wildcats (1-1) to handle. He rushed 21 times for three touchdowns and 262 yards — 187 in the...
PORTALES — A 20-yard run by Eastern New Mexico University quarterback Wyatt Strand on fourth-and-12 set up a game-winning 41-yard field goal by Bailey Hale with just seven seconds remaining Thursday night to complete the Greyhounds' 23-21 victory over No. 18 Southwest Baptist in their season opener. ENMU (1-0) looked down-and-out when the Bearcats stopped a fourth-and-2 run by running back Kamal Cass and took over at the Greyhounds 19-yard line with three minutes left to p...
GOLDEN, Colo. — Eastern New Mexico University has so far come up empty in the Oredigger Classic, dropping two matches at the neutral-site tournament Friday afternoon. The Greyhounds fell to Wayne State 25-16, 19-25, 25-17, 25-14 in the afternoon, then suffered a 25-11, 25-20, 25-13 sweep at the hands of Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. Sarah Tuioti-Mariner had 11 kills to lead ENMU in the first match, while Brooklyn Biel added nine to go with four blocks and Jasmine Gannon had five kills. Senior Andrea Aguilar h...
PORTALES — The first half wasn’t enough to get either Eastern New Mexico or Fort Lewis on the board. Two overtimes weren’t enough to settle it. Second-half scoring was sandwiched between scoreless periods, and the teams ended Friday with a 2-2 tie at Fort Lewis in the opener for both teams. The teams combined for 17 shots on goal, with the visiting Greyhounds taking 10. Kaitlin Caro scored both goals for ENMU in a six-minute stretch in the second half. The goals in the 49th and 55th minute were each assisted by Naomi Abeyt...
