CLOVIS — If Clovis High’s football team could bottle up its first defensive and offensive series from Friday night’s game against Lubbock Coronado, play like that going forward, the Wildcats would likely be successful for the rest of the season. Clovis’ defense began Friday’s game at Leon Williams Stadium by turning what appeared to be a sure-fire Coronado touchdown drive into just a field goal. The Wildcats’ offense then embarked on a crisp 66-yard touchdown drive. But...
PORTALES — Jarrod Cooper scored off a corner kick early in the second half, and Thursday saw Eastern New Mexico’s men’s soccer team shut out for the first time in the young season with a 1-0 loss to Rogers State at Greyhound Stadium. Noah Robson assisted on the lone goal of the game, which saw the Greyhounds (3-3-1, 1-1-1) suffer their first defeat of the Heartland Conference season. ENMU outshot the Hillcats 14-8, but Rogers State (4-3, 2-1) held an 8-1 advantage in corner kicks. Gabriel Peres had five shots to lead the G...
CLOVIS — Nathaniel Jouett, the now-17-year-old accused of killing two and injuring four in last year's library shooting, returned to court Friday for a hearing regarding his medical services. Correct Care Solutions, which provides medical services at the Curry County Juvenile Detention Center, had requested to see Jouett's medical records. That request was denied. Defense attorney Stephen Taylor told 5th Judicial District Judge James Hudson, who presided by video, that w...
CLOVIS — Messages of peace, love and tranquility filled the entrance to the Clovis-Carver Public Library on Friday as an installation of more than 400 colorful pinwheels greeted patrons entering the building. "(It's) fantastic. You can totally feel the love," said Misty Bertrand, who organized bringing the international Pinwheels for Peace event to Clovis this year. The pinwheels — made of paper, a pencil and a push pin — were designed by community members during sever... Full story
CLOVIS — A Curry County jury on Thursday convicted a Clovis man of fleeing from a law-enforcement officer. Brandon Cordova, 36, could face up to 5 1/2 years in prison when sentenced. Police said Cordova, on March 8, 2017, led an officer on a car chase up Gidding Street, to 21st Street and onto North Main Street in Clovis. “(He) swerved around cars, driving into oncoming traffic,” according to a news release from District Attorney Andrea Reeb. The officer terminated the pursuit for safety purposes and Cordova was arres...
CLOVIS — A Texas man says he shot a would-be mugger who came at him with a knife early Friday morning outside a Clovis motel. Zion Flores, 20, of Mission, Texas, said he was in his car about 8:15 a.m. when two men came toward him, one slashing his tire with a knife. Flores said he responded by pulling a gun and firing in self-defense. “I seen them coming to the window, I just lowered the (car) window, and ‘Pop, pop, pop,’” Flores said. Clovis police said a 40-year-old man was hospitalized with gunshot wounds to his buttocks.... Full story
PORTALES — Last week’s frustrating 28-0 loss at Goddard created a lot of competition for Portales football this week. In particular, the Rams (2-2) were looking to get a lot tougher, after getting pushed around by a more physical Rockets team. “We did a lot of hitting this week, and got a little bit more physical. Monday and Tuesday were good with our inside run,” Rams coach Jaime Ramirez said. “We hit a lot harder and made sure the kids were doing what they needed to do. Re...
Eastern New Mexico University’s football team is 0-3, fresh off a loss to Texas A&M-Commerce, the nation’s top-ranked Division II team. And it doesn’t get a whole lot easier for the Greyhounds. Next up, the son of a former Super Bowl reserve quarterback and nephew of a former Heisman Trophy winner. Eastern will try to escape the schneid with tonight’s road game against Lone Star Conference rival Texas A&M-Kingsville (1-2). Quarterbacking the Javelinas is Koy Detmer Jr., wh...
PORTALES — ENMU’s College Daze Rodeo has been a bit hit or miss for the home Greyhounds, with mixed results across the board through two days. In one sense, there’s three Greyhounds that sit in the top 10 in goat tying, after Friday’s performance round. In another, however, several Eastern athletes find themselves on the outside looking in of the top 10. “It’s been a little rough for me. But, for some of my teammates, I think it’s been going good,” sophomore breakaway and t...
PORTALES — It would be a stretch to say the Eastern New Mexico volleyball team never broke a sweat Friday against Western New Mexico. But it wouldn’t be accurate to say the Greyhounds had to sweat anything out, either. Eastern remained cool throughout the evening, getting just enough in each game to score a 25-19, 25-20, 15-18 sweep over Western New Mexico to jump back over .500 in Lone Star Conference play. Thanks to a balanced effort that included 11 kills each from Jen...
PORTALES — Sometimes its better to be lucky than good. The Eastern New Mexico women’s soccer team was a little of each on Friday night. The Greyhounds started off the Lone Star Conference season right, getting an own goal midway through the first half and an insurance tally from Kaitlyn Caro in the 81st minute for a 2-0 victory over Texas A&M-Commerce in the LSC opener for both teams at Greyhound Stadium. The women continue the LSC season on Sunday at home with a noon con...
