A frequent complaint of eastern New Mexico residents is that there’s nothing to do on the High Plains. That won’t be the case this weekend as there are events taking place in Clovis, Melrose and Portales. Those venturing into Hillcrest Park today will get a two-for-one as both the fourth annual Rotary Arts in the Park event (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and the Desert Cruzers 22nd annual car show (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) are set to take place there. Clovis Civic Center General Manager Misty Bertrand said Arts in the Park will feature at lea... Full story
CLOVIS — Friday night’s Rio Rancho-Clovis football game at Clovis High School had mistakes aplenty. But it was the Rams taking advantage of Wildcat mistakes at critical times. The result was a 20-13 Rio Rancho victory, the Rams’ first of the year, sealed by Braxton Padilla’s interception with roughly a minute to go in the fourth quarter. A work of art it wasn’t, but Rio Rancho got it done and improved to a 1-2 record. “Any win, especially in Clovis, is a great win. So we...
PORTALES — “Do your job.” That famous Bill Belichick quote is something that Eastern New Mexico football is living by this week, as the Greyhounds try to bounce back from last week. The Hounds opened the season at Missouri S&T last Thursday, where they surrendered 512 total yards of offense in a 31-14 defeat. Tonight, however, won’t be much easier for ENMU (0-1), despite it being the team’s home opener. Eastern faces No. 25 Colorado Mesa (1-0), another team with plenty of... Full story
WICHITA FALLS, Texas — While the season might not be off to the kind of start Eastern New Mexico’s volleyball team may have wanted, the start in the Lone Star Conference is just fine so far.

Jasmine Gannon had 15 kills and Sara Tuioti-Mariner 10 for the Greyhounds (3-6, 1-0 LSC), who go right back at it tomorrow at Cameron. Eastern loo...

ROSWELL — Down three starters, and having to suit up several junior varsity players, Portales soccer was in for a long day on Friday. The Rams dropped a tough one to Carlsbad, 5-0, to open up the Roswell Coyote Classic Tournament. “To be honest, we stepped our game up more,” Rams coach Juan Mendez said. “We worked the ball around better, but we gave up too many goals.” Due to injuries, Mendez’ Rams (0-3) were without three starters, forcing a number of young JV players to...
LAS VEGAS, N.M. — Sophomore Baylor Diaz ran wild in a 36-0 Rams shutout of West Las Vegas Friday night. Diaz had a pair of long first-quarter rushing touchdowns to set the tone for a Portales offense that rushed for 206 yards on the night. "Baylor's a stud, but we knew that all along," Rams coach Jaime Ramirez said. "We've been waiting for him to a have a big breakout game, and I thought he did a great job on both sides of the ball tonight. Overall, we had a lot of guys s...
