CLOVIS — The city of Clovis was granted a restraining order Monday to freeze the bank accounts of its former golf course operator, claiming Charlie Maciel did not inform them of debt owed on merchandise it purchased from him. Court documents, however, indicate the action may have come too late. Following the granting of a restraining order to freeze any account at JP Stone Community Bank bearing the name of Maciel or his Real Golf limited liability corporation, an affidavit was filed by City Attorney Jared Morris i...
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — Wyatt Strand rushed for his third touchdown of the game on a third-down run in overtime, and the Greyhound defense didn’t allow a first down on the ensuing possession as Eastern New Mexico escaped Colorado Mesa 44-37 Saturday night. The overtime win, Eastern’s first in school history against four losses — the last one coming in the 2011 season — didn’t seem like the eventual outcome for the Greyhounds (2-0). The Green and Silver outgained the host Mavericks 561-381, won the turnover battle 4-1 and led...
PORTALES — If there were any questions to be answered about the Goddard Rockets, the second-ranked team in Class 5A answered them Friday night at Greyhound Stadium. Well, maybe one question remained after the 44-12 victory over Class 4A’s top-ranked Portales Rams — why, exactly, are they No. 2? That’s a question that will play out later in the season, when the Rockets take on No. 4 Los Lunas later this month, No. 4 Artesia in late October and No. 1 Roswell Nov. 1 to close o...
CLOVIS — When the Clovis and Monterey football teams met last year in Lubbock, Monterey’s offense was able to move the ball up and down the field with ease against the Wildcats. Friday at Leon Williams Stadium, it was the other way around. And then some. Clovis’ offensive unit moved the ball at will against the Plainsmen, fueled by great blocking and a big night from junior quarterback Chance Harris, to win 60-27. In the offensive deluge, Harris passed for school recor...
PORTALES — Last season, Eastern New Mexico’s women’s soccer team made its first appearance in the Lone Star Conference tournament championship match. Two weeks into this season, the firsts are still coming. Three days, two shutout wins at home and all of a sudden, the Greyhounds are off to their first 3-0 start in the history of the program, which began play in 2003. The Greyhounds, now idle until they visit Southern Nazarene on Saturday, topped Adams State 3-0 Thursday and F...
CLOVIS — Sofia Rico became the new all-time goal scorer for Clovis’ girls soccer program Thursday when she netted three against Lovington, giving her 59, two better than the previous mark. It was even sweeter that she did so at Leon Williams Stadium, a venue that may have given Rico and her teammates culture shock. When the Lady Wildcats hosted Lovington there, it was their first game on that field this season. It was also the first time the Lady ’Cats hosted a game anywh...

DENTON, Texas — Sweep or be swept. That was the name of the game for the Greyhounds at this weekend’s Pioneer/Patriot Invitational. Unfortunately for the Green and Silver, it was being swept three times against sweeping once at the event hosted by Texas Woman’s University. The Greyhounds fell Friday to Sioux Falls 25-8, 25-22, 27-25; and to Harding 25-16, 25-12, 25-18. Saturday saw the Greyhounds end a five-match losing streak by topping Pace in a 25-14, 25-20, 25-14 sweep, but they completed the invitational with a 25-14...
You may not know this about me, but I’m even better at shooting skeet than I am at golfing. At the writing of this column, I’m making plans to participate in the annual Roosevelt General Hospital Foundation’s Skeet Shoot (it was held Saturday). I planned on bagging a whole brace of the critters, so if you have a good recipe for skeet I can probably use one today. I started shooting a shotgun before my arms were long enough to shoulder one. Some people might say my arms still...
