So much for that. Just as it had twice before this season, Roswell swept past Clovis Thursday with a 25-10, 25-9, 25-12 victory. Clovis coach Gabe Apodaca figured the Lady Cats (5-11) lost nothing trying different things. But the sweep was evidence that it’s back to the drawing board again before Saturday’s 4-6A match at Alamogordo. “They conti...
