CLOVIS — Sometimes you can’t tell how a game is going to turn out based on the team’s records coming in. But sometimes, you kinda can. Thursday’s Lovington-Clovis girls soccer game at Yucca Elementary School was one for the kinda-can file. Power to 1-5 Lovington for making the trek and playing great defense early on, breaking up some Clovis chances. But the undefeated Lady Wildcats of Clovis were just too much for the Lady Wildcats of Lovington, and posted a 10-0 victory...
CLOVIS — A Lubbock man pleaded no contest this week to a drug trafficking charge from January, with prosecutors dismissing five related charges as well as ensuing charges of battery on a peace officer for which he had been scheduled a trial Thursday. Adebayo Isola, 31, was sentenced Monday to nine years in prison, part of a global plea agreement in which five other charges from Jan. 5 and three charges from April were dismissed. He is eligible for good-time at 50% and has pre-...
CLOVIS — The Monterey football team’s nickname — the Plainsmen — has the sound of a John Wayne or Clint Eastwood Western, maybe a Zane Grey novel. And tonight, Clovis High’s football team heads east to Lubbock, where the Wildcats will try to lasso their third victory of the season. With a 7:30 p.m. Central (6:30 p.m. Mountain) start at Lowrey Field, the ’Cats (2-1) are beginning a three-game stretch against Lubbock teams and trying to rebound from last week’s 20-13 home lo...
My sister Susie and I have a friend who lives in the Midwest, and we lovingly call her the Queen of Canning. She expertly and efficiently cans food through all of summer and fall. By state fair time, she has fruits, tomatoes and sauces, all types of vegetables, jams, jellies, pickles, meats and even seafood canned in beautiful jars. In our judgment, she is phenomenal and her talents are extraordinary. Last week Susie visited with our friend about the recent competition in her...
Amazing is exactly what real grace always is. On the other hand, the many counterfeits are pretty much what we should expect — “do-it-yourself” schemes focused on our power to occasionally strike a tiny spark rather than on God’s power to always create a nuclear reaction. Do-it-yourself “grace” is an impostor every bit as dangerous as the real thing is amazing. The Apostle Paul points to real grace in everything he writes, most notably Romans and Galatians, pounding th...
ODESSA, Texas — Gabriel Peres and Aderi Arthur-Dede scored less than five minutes apart, and Eastern New Mexico made the most of a shooting advantage to top Texas Permian Basin 3-1 in the Heartland Conference opener for both teams. William Sutton also added a goal for the Greyhounds (2-2, 1-0), who outshot the host Falcons 20-11 — including a 6-3 advantage in shots on goal. After the Falcons (1-3, 0-1) struck first with Santi Morales’ goal in the 21st minute, it was all Greyh...
PORTALES — While it can certainly be said for any given opponent, being a disciplined football team is key. For Portales, tonight is certainly no exception. The Rams (2-1) travel to Roswell to take on Goddard (2-0-1) at 7, where they’ll face a run-heavy team that plays tight formations. “They’re a high percentage of run versus pass,” Rams coach Jaime Ramirez explained. “You know what you’re getting when you’re playing Goddard. They’re in double tight, double wing most of the t... Full story
