STAFF REPORT SANTA FE — Two games into the St. Michael’s Shoot Out and the Portales Rams are still looking for their first win. On Friday night, PHS dropped a 68-55 decision to the host Horsemen.

It was amazing. We talked to our kids about coming up in the second half and cutting it under 10 points.” Th... Full story
DEPUTY EDITOR [email protected] If the 16-0 Cleveland run to start the game wasn’t enough indication the Clovis Wildcats might be a little overmatched, the indisputable evidence came later in the first quarter when the Storm’s bench players hit NBA 3s and scored on backdoor lobs.

January is half over and I am sure that many have already broken their new year’s resolutions. I am happy to say that I do not fit into this category. The reason I can say that is I didn’t make any resolutions this year. Lonnie Berry I have in the past been known to make quite a list. I am sure that most of the things I pledged to do were the same as many others. I think most years I had listed weight loss as a goal, being healthy, saving money and I think I tried one time to...
