The Dallas Cowboys defense was the definition of feast or famine in the 40-34 win against the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday at AT&T Stadium. Every time the Eagles had the ball, they either scored or turned the ball over. Despite surrendering 27 points to a backup quarterback, the Cowboys defense deserves credit for forcing some game-changing plays. Two takeaways came in the fourth quarter when it appeared Dallas was on the brink of falling behind again. Tied 34-34, DaRon Bla...
SANTA FE -- New Mexico lawmakers are reviving a long and so far unsuccessful effort to pay members of the state Legislature a base salary. A proposal to ask voters to amend the state Constitution to establish a citizens' commission on compensation, which would have the authority to set legislators' salaries, is in the works for the upcoming legislative session. The push to end New Mexico's status as the only state in the nation whose legislators are unsalaried is part of a larger effort to modernize the Legislature. Other...
The Denver Broncos’ tumultuous and disappointing season continued Monday with the firing of first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett. The move brings some unknown, especially scheme-wise, just six days before the Chiefs welcome the Broncos to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. But the Chiefs will be prepared for whatever comes their way. “The fact that there could be some changes that take place offensively, defensively, special teams — I’m not sure who they put in that position to determine what goes on or not go on — but there...
Maybe the Aggies can compete at the top level. The late-season success of the New Mexico State University football team under first-year coach Jerry Kill — winning five of its last six games, with the only loss coming against Missouri, and earning an invitation to play in the Quick Lane Bowl — should silence critics like me who have suggested that the team should drop from the Football Bowl Subdivision to the Football Championship Subdivision. That’s especially true now that all the sports haters on campus have their ire s...

CLOVIS – Zarai Lewis made sure there would be no upset in Clovis High's Plateau Holiday Classic on Wednesday night. Lewis poured in a season-best 22 points, and while the Lady Wildcats were far from their best they cruised into Thursday night's championship game against Centennial at Rock Staubus Gym with a 46-30 victory over Miyamura. CHS girls coach Jeff Reed, though, was not happy with the team's overall play. "We've got to be able to finish shots because we won't be a...
CLOVIS – No question, Clovis High’s boys are much-improved over what they’ve been in recent seasons. That said, the Wildcats were shown on Wednesday night just how far they still have to go to compete with the best in the state. Sandia, ranked third in Class 5A, exploded to a 23-3 advantage early in the second quarter and cruised to a 75-57 victory over the Wildcats in the championship semifinals of the K. Barnett & Sons holiday tournament at Rock Staubus Gym. First-year CHS coach Josh Mattox was quick to point out that...
FARWELL – Farwell’s boys wrapped up the pre-Christmas portion of their schedule on Wednesday with a 42-36 victory over Lubbock Roosevelt. Senior Alec Actkinson scored a season-best 19 points to pace the Steers (10-4), who owned an 11-6 advantage after the first stanza and maintained the lead most of the way. Meantime, the Class 3A Antelopes (8-5) were led by 12 points from 6-foot-4 senior Kaleb Harrell and 10 from 6-6 senior Cash Garia. On Tuesday, Farwell swept a doubleheader at Lubbock Roosevelt, with the girls winning 75-...
CLOVIS – The level of competition wasn’t quite the same, but Clovis High’s boys left their K. Barnett & Sons holiday tournament on Thursday night with a little better feeling about themselves. Junior forward Marvin Cox led three players in double figures with 14 points and the Wildcats never trailed en route to a 66-52 win over District 4-5A rival Roswell High in the tourney’s third-place game. A night earlier, Clovis (6-4) fell behind 23-3 early in the second quarter before recovering a bit in a 75-57 championship semifin...
CLOVIS – Any offense that was lacking for Clovis High's girls on Thursday night was made up for by solid defense. Taking the lead for good midway through the third quarter, the Lady Wildcats held Centennial at bay down the stretch and claimed a 38-32 victory to defend their championship in the Plateau Holiday Classic at Rock Staubus Gym. Clovis beat another Las Cruces school, Organ Mountain, in the 2021 title tilt. Junior guard Zarai Lewis scored 11 of her 16 points in the s...
