MELROSE – At this rate, the upcoming 8-man football playoffs may look more like the Melrose Invitational. Ranked No. 1 in the classification, Melrose had outscored its opponents 456-90 entering Friday's 8-man District 3 showdown against rival and second-ranked Fort Sumner. It was just more of the same, though, as the Buffaloes opened a 30-0 lead midway through the opening stanza and rolled to a 50-0 victory. It was the seventh shutout of the season for the Buffs (9-1, 4-0 d...

I think I may be slowly evolving into a water snob. No, this change has nothing to do with the tribulations of my community and its municipal water supply. Instead, the evolution arose from my aging refrigerator. My fridge has an icemaker; it just doesn’t work. I’ve replaced it once but it eventually stopped working again. I believe the problem is rooted in the hard water we have in these parts that deposits a crusty scale on plumbing, coffee makers and icemakers. I dec...

Mendoza returns the compliment by describing Rink and the restaurant's management team as "one of the best he's seen anywhere." Mendoza, grandson of Guadalajara's founder Librado Casillas, took some time Wednesday afternoon to talk about his life and the new Guadalajara Restaurant, just off the corner of North Prince a...
Early on, Eastern New Mexico University's men have put themselves in the heart of the Lone Star Conference soccer race. Wednesday night, the Greyhounds had a chance to take a big step forward. Instead, they settled for a smaller step. ENMU played Dallas Baptist to a 2-2 standoff at Greyhound Stadium, keeping the Hounds (4-5-4, 2-1-2 LSC) third in the 10-team conference. With the tie, ENMU now stands 9-1-1 all-time against the Patriots. Second-year coach Brandon Misuraca hoped...
CARLSBAD – Clovis High's girls were unable to overcome a two-goal deficit in the second half on Tuesday night and the Lady Wildcats dropped a 3-2 decision to Carlsbad in District 4-5A soccer. Already trailing Hobbs by a game in the district, the Lady Cats (12-4-1, 2-2 district) fell into a tie for second place with the Cavegirls (11-7-0, 2-2) with two matches remaining in the regular season. After senior midfielder Aspen Ulibarri put Clovis in front in the 25th minute, junior...
HOBBS – Clovis High’s volleyball team came up short in its bid for a District 4-5A road sweep this week as Hobbs rallied for a 22-25, 25-17, 25-18, 25-12 victory on Thursday night. The Lady Cats (11-8, 1-1 district), who opened their 4-5A slate with a four-set victory at Carlsbad two nights earlier, jumped on Hobbs (8-11, 1-1) early in Thursday’s match and claimed the opening set. Games 2 and 3 were close for a while, but the Lady Eagles pulled away late in both before dominating the final set. “We need to do a better...

In this one, the teams were scoreless until late in the first half when Wildcats sophomore Dylan Gallegos found the back of the net. Lovington (10-7-0, 2-2) carried the one-goal lead into halftime.

SANTA FE – Things are playing out similarly to how they did last season for Clovis High’s football team. The Wildcats battled their way through a challenging pre-district slate last year, then won their first three contests in District 5-6A play to set up a duel for the district title in the regular-season finale at Los Lunas. That didn’t turn out so well – the Cats were beaten 54-0 by the Tigers. But after Friday’s 34-21 victory over Santa Fe Capital, Clovis (4-5, 3-0) now hosts fifth-ranked Los Lunas (7-2, 3-0) on Friday...
