COMMERCE, Texas -- With a win over No. 12 Texas A&M-Commerce on Saturday, Eastern New Mexico stood a great chance to break the top 25 in the AFCA Division II poll. The Lions, however, wanted no part of that, taking advantage of early miscues to build a 24-3 lead that turned into a 45-27 victory Saturday night. The Greyhounds seemed primed to hang in with the No. 12 Lions late in the fourth, after taking the early lead on a Tyler Vargas 26-yard field goal followed by a goal-line interception by Vicen'te Walker. But the...
Another weekend, another slate of area football games. There was joy and heartbreak in Farwell - depending upon whose side you were on. Elida kept rolling and kept Floyd still searching for its first victory. On the subject of first victories, Dora's Coyotes got theirs. And oh by the way, Melrose improved to 4-0. Farwell 29, Texico 28 Friday's local game of the night, drama-wise, was this one between the neighbors from across the tracks. In the first half it was looking like...
PORTALES - Enduring a blowout loss last week wasn't easy for Portales' football team. Especially since it was the Rams' first setback of the season. So Priority One for this week was bouncing right back, taking care of St. Pius X. Mission accomplished. With an offense that was able to control the ball and the clock, and a defense able to prevent St. Pius X from doing either, Portales walloped the Sartans 40-7 Friday night at Greyhound Stadium. And in doing so, the Rams (4-1)...
LUBBOCK - Clovis pieced together two strong touchdown drives in the first half but lost the ball twice on the way to more points Friday and those sputters allowed Lubbock Coronado to pull out a 27-16 victory in a game halted late in the third quarter by several lightning strikes. Chance Harris got the Wildcats (3-2) on the scoreboard on their initial series of the game when he rolled away from pressure and whipped a 34-yard touchdown pass to Blake Muscato. Clovis converted a...
CARLSBAD — As the Clovis High boys cross country team nurses its way back to full strength, Jerrick Maldonado has managed to carry the load for the Wildcats. He did the same Saturday, winning the Ron Singleton Invitational at 16:19. But he had some help, as T.J. Gregg’s return to the lineup helped bolster the Wildcats to a second-place finish. “Jerrick’s just running awesome right now,” Clovis coach Mark Bussen said, “and that’s the fastest I’ve seen anybody run on that course.” Gregg was sixth overall at 17:06 in the 5K r...
PORTALES - In a matchup of the hot and the not-so-hot Thursday evening, nothing in particular changed on the volleyball court. The Portales Rams upped their winning streak to seven matches Thursday, taking just a shade over an hour to dispatch an overmatched Ruidoso squad 25-7, 25-15, 25-12 at the Ram Athletic Center. The host Rams (7-1) had little trouble keeping the Warriors winless, with plenty of big runs sustained by a season-high 26 service aces. The Rams moved the...
BISMARCK, N.D. — The Eastern New Mexico men’s soccer team entered this weekend with their best start in program history at 4-0 and their highest national ranking in history at No. 13. The record climbed, and the poll position is likely to follow suit after the Greyhounds took a pair of contests in Bismarck, topping host St. Mary 1-0 on Friday and Montana State-Billings 3-0 on Saturday. Now, in addition to the best start in program history, the Greyhounds go into each game looking to improve on a program winning streak of six...

CLOVIS — The Clovis boys soccer team may have forgotten what it feels like to lose. The Wildcats haven’t done so in quite a while.

Clovis didn’t waste much time scoring in Friday’s win, getting a goal from Lupe Meza just 45 seconds in. Daniel Hernandez added the other goal in the game’s sixth minute. Keeper Bruno Armendariz provided...
