MELROSE - While the Melrose football team was going through pre-game warmups Friday night, its Buffalo mascot was bopping to some soft rock blaring on the loudspeakers at Melrose High School. Soon after, the top-seeded Buffaloes rocked to the tune of a 58-0 win over Cloudcroft in the eight-man quarterfinals. They will host Tatum in next Friday's semifinal round. Not surprisingly, everything clicked for the Buffs. Their offense moved the ball up and down the field almost at wil...

ALBUQUERQUE - The Clovis Wildcats proved in Friday's first-round contest that it's not about winning style points in November, but just winning.

"We talked about it all week, we knew they had a great running game. Their triple option is really hard to stop, and we hadn't seen it probably since the last time we played these guys...

Meanwhile, top-seed Texico goes for a Class 3A four-peat against a familiar foe in No. 2 Santa Rosa. The Tigers (23-2) made their way into championship Saturday wit...

PORTALES — Before Eastern New Mexico’s women’s 2017-18 basketball season even began, the team started working on its 2018-19 roster.
