Coming off their biggest win of the season, there was no letup on Thursday night for Portales High's volleyball team. The Lady Rams, who upended longtime nemesis Artesia on the road on Tuesday, cruised past winless Lovington 25-11, 25-10, 25-6 in District 4-4A action at the Ram Athletic Center.

TULAROSA – Defending state champions Texico in Class 2A and Melrose in 8-man both won handily on Friday night to remain unbeaten and on course to earn top seeds in upcoming state football playoffs.

In 8-man District 3, Melrose capped a perfect regular campaign at 10-0 (6-0) with a 50-0 shellacking of host Tatum. The NMAA will release its 1...
ROSWELL – Clovis High volleyball coach Cristy Hill had hoped her team might give District 4-5A leader Roswell High a run for its money on Thursday night. Instead, it was the Lady Coyotes who dominated most of the way en route to a 25-13, 25-13, 25-23 triumph, knocking the Lady Wildcats (9-10, 2-1 district) out of a share of the district lead. In Hill’s eyes, it somewhat resembled the legend of baseball old-timer Wee Willie Keller, who supposedly once said the key to hitting a baseball was to “hit ’em where they ain’t....
Clovis High figured out a way to move the ball against Class 6A second-ranked Centennial on Friday night. The Wildcats just couldn't push it in the end zone. Suffice it to say, the Hawks could. They scored on their first seven possessions, all of them needing five plays or less, before backing off in the second half and claiming a 49-0 District 3-6A victory at Leon Williams Stadium. Prior to the game, the field at the stadium was named in honor of legendary CHS football coach...

Sophomore forward Gavyn Rosales scored in the 12th minute and Dallas Baptist held Eastern New Mexico University to no shots on goal Wednesday night in a key 1-0 Lone Star Conference victory over the Greyhounds at Steve Loy Stadium. The win pushed the Patriots (4-3-6, 3-1-2 LSC) ahead of ENMU (4-4-5, 2-2-2) and into a tie for third place with St. Edward’s (5-4-3, 3-1-2) in the conference standings. Meantime, the Hounds dropped into a share of fifth place in the league with Lubbock Christian (5-5-4, 2-3-2), each with eight p...
With a 14-5 overall record, which includes five one-goal defeats with three in overtime, the Clovis High boys soccer team believes it deserves a spot in the upcoming Class 5A state tournament. For now, though, the Wildcats just have to wait. Selections will be made today by the New Mexico Activities Association and, despite their record, the Cats entered the week ranked 15th. They last made the 5A state meet in 2018, when they reached the semifinals. The biggest question mark for Clovis is its overall strength of schedule....
