Daulton Hatley succeeds by taking advantage of his opportunities. He did so as a Clovis High quarterback, with his opportunities to run, his passing opportunities to find open receivers downfield. He took advantage of a partial scholarship to Southeastern Oklahoma State University - alma mater of Reba McEntire and Dennis Rodman - which provided him the opportunity to play Division II collegiate football while earning an Occupational Safety degree. In Southeastern Oklahoma...
ALBUQUERQUE — If only football points worked like money, where you could take what you didn’t need yet and store it in the bank. This past Friday night, Clovis High’s football team scored 33 more points than it needed to beat Eldorado, winning 55-21 on the road. The Wildcats, who have won their first district games by a 149-30 count, might need some of those excess points two weeks hence at La Cueva. But the ’Cats will take Friday’s blowout victory, because it improved them to 3-0 in District 2/5-6A. “No doubt. It’s nice bein...
CLOVIS — On an autumnal night at Leon Williams Stadium, the Clovis boys soccer team may have reached the winter of its season. With a state playoff berth far from guaranteed, the Wildcats need to pick up every win they can get to help bolster their playoff chances. Tuesday, though the ’Cats were hoping to get one against Carlsbad, they didn’t, as the Cavemen escaped with a 1-0 victory thanks to Jesus Zamora’s goal late in the first half. As a result, Clovis dropped to 1-3 in District 4-5A play, 11-5-2 overall, which Wildcat...
TEXICO - Texico's volleyball team is a defending state champion, and the Lady Wolverines would love to win another title. That may be difficult, considering how inexperienced this year's team has been. But, Texico at least took another step in its maturation, another step in evolving this past Thursday when hosting and beating Santa Rosa 3-1, with scores of 25-12, 25-17, 18-25, 25-19. That improved the Lady Wolverines to 11-6, 3-0 in District 7-2A, as they head into the...

PORTALES — To stop a penalty kick from close range inside the 18-yard box, you need a little luck. For Eastern New Mexico University junior Ross Dalton, some planning went into it as well. Dalton kept the Greyhounds up by two goals with a sprawling save to his left on a PK by West Texas A&M’s Roberto Gonzalez in the 71st minute on Thursday night, and ENMU held on for a 2-1 non-conference win over the Buffaloes in a battle of Lone Star Conference rivals at Greyhound Sta...

My wife has a terrible addiction that plays out on the weekends and she ends up with a lot of time in rehab. It’s not drugs or alcohol and she’s not a sex maniac — she’s addicted to remodeling reality television shows. She can watch them from the time she gets up until I beg her to watch something else as the sun is going down. Her favorite is “Fixer Upper.” I’ve got to admit I’m kinda into Chip and Joanna Gaines’ show from Waco, Texas. Chip’s antics are corny as all get ou...
