After 63 years, it’s hard to have any secrets. But as the folks at First United Methodist Church, 200 S. Ave. C, Portales, throw their 64th annual turkey dinner today, I’m going to spill two. First, the 2,000-plus diners who come to this annual event never get to eat what is arguably the best part of the meal.

PORTALES — When Eastern New Mexico University first looked at the prospect of playing West Liberty, it was with the knowledge it would be the 10th scheduled game — ensuring the team would be playoff-eligible.

The stakes are simple: If the 21st-ranked Greyhounds (7-1) can defeat the Hilltoppers on the road tonight, they'll be back in Portales on Friday with eight days to pre...

Well, the Greyhounds found the offense, and at just the right time.
