LUBBOCK – For a second consecutive season, Eastern New Mexico University senior Shacie Marr has claimed the women’s all-around title in the Texas Tech rodeo. Marr reached the short go round in three events to help ENMU’s women place third, accounting for all of the team’s 172 ½ points. Tarleton State (385) won it and Texas Tech (220) was second. Most of her points (100) came in barrel racing. After slipping into the short go when she split 10th and 11th place in the long go, Marr came in second in the short go with a time o...
ALBUQUERQUE – Area squads hold down three of the eight berths in the 6-man playoffs, set to begin on Friday night. Pairings were released on Sunday by the New Mexico Activities Association. Grady (8-1) drew the No. 2 seed in the division and welcomes seventh-seeded Magdelena (4-3) for a 6 p.m. kickoff. With a win, the Bronchos would face either third-seeded Mountainair (6-2) or No. 6 Dora (4-4), who collide in a 7 p.m. start on Friday at Mountainair. Meantime, Elida (6-3) is the fourth seed and welcomes in No. 5 R...
ALPINE, Texas – The battle for spots in the Lone Star Conference men’s soccer postseason tournament is on as the season winds down. Six of the 11 teams will make the field, and currently six squads are separated by two points (three for a win, one for a tie) between fifth and 10th place. That would include Eastern New Mexico University, which is in a three-way tie for fifth (nine points) with West Texas A&M and Lubbock Christian after playing a scoreless draw with Sul Ross State on Saturday. The Lobos, in their first yea...
CARLSBAD – Even without a few of their key runners due to other commitments, Clovis High’s cross country squads were able to sweep to team championships in Carlsbad’s Ron Singleton Invitational on Saturday. No team scores were available at press time. “I’m really proud of them,” CHS coach Liz Ledezma said of her squads. “We’ve been working on our conditioning a lot. A lot of younger kids really stepped up.” The Lady Wildcats took the top three positions with sophomore Brooke Newcomer winning the 5K event in 20 minutes, 12 se...
Eastern New Mexico University closed the fifth set on a 7-2 run and the Greyhounds posted their first Lone Star Conference victory of the campaign on Saturday, a 25-21, 28-30, 25-18, 16-25, 15-10 triumph over St. Edward's at Steve Loy Arena. It was their first victory under interim coach Natalia Burdulis, who became the interim coach on Oct. 3 after head coach Sia Poyer stepped away to deal with health issues. Ironically, St. Edward's announced on Monday that head coach Jared...
SILVER CITY – Despite watching a 20-point, first-quarter advantage dwindle to a single-score game twice, Eastern New Mexico University football coach Kelley Lee said he was never really worried. ENMU recovered an onside kick with less than two minutes left and ran out the clock to claim a 41-34 Lone Star Conference victory over Western New Mexico in the teams’ annual “Chile Bowl” clash. Early on, it looked like the Greyhounds (3-5, 1-5 LSC) were going to run away with it, leading 20-0 with a minute left in the opening...
ALBUQUERQUE – Shaking off the effects of having a field goal blocked and returned for a touchdown, Portales High finally got things going its way in the second half. Senior quarterback Tommy Lopez ran for three scores and the Rams pulled away with three second-half tallies for a 27-7 District 2-4A victory over Albuquerque Academy on Saturday. Portales (5-4, 3-2 district) can assure itself a tie for second place on Friday night when it hosts Chaparral (3-6, 2-3) in a 7 p.m. kickoff at Steve Loy Stadium. With a head-to-head w...
Coming off their biggest win of the season, there was no letup on Thursday night for Portales High's volleyball team. The Lady Rams, who upended longtime nemesis Artesia on the road on Tuesday, cruised past winless Lovington 25-11, 25-10, 25-6 in District 4-4A action at the Ram Athletic Center. Junior Skyler Massey collected 15 kills while senior setter Myleigh Banda fell just short of a double-double with nine digs and 23 assists for the Lady Rams (12-7, 2-0 district),...
The Gattis Cubs 7th grade football team wrapped up its season at 6-1 on Tuesday with a 36-12 win over Yucca to claim its second consecutive unofficial city middle school football championship.

Also, Ricky Fenstermaker had a rushing touchdown, a fumble recovery for a touchdown and two sacks, while Zach Johnson collected an interception....
TULAROSA – Defending state champions Texico in Class 2A and Melrose in 8-man both won handily on Friday night to remain unbeaten and on course to earn top seeds in upcoming state football playoffs. In District 4-2A, Texico cruised past host Tularosa 50-0 to improve to 8-0 (3-0 district). The Wolverines finish off their regular season on Friday night at home against Jal (2-7, 0-3). In 8-man District 3, Melrose capped a perfect regular campaign at 10-0 (6-0) with a 50-0 shellacking of host Tatum. The NMAA will release its 1...
ROSWELL – Clovis High volleyball coach Cristy Hill had hoped her team might give District 4-5A leader Roswell High a run for its money on Thursday night. Instead, it was the Lady Coyotes who dominated most of the way en route to a 25-13, 25-13, 25-23 triumph, knocking the Lady Wildcats (9-10, 2-1 district) out of a share of the district lead. In Hill’s eyes, it somewhat resembled the legend of baseball old-timer Wee Willie Keller, who supposedly once said the key to hitting a baseball was to “hit ’em where they ain’t....
Clovis High figured out a way to move the ball against Class 6A second-ranked Centennial on Friday night. The Wildcats just couldn't push it in the end zone. Suffice it to say, the Hawks could. They scored on their first seven possessions, all of them needing five plays or less, before backing off in the second half and claiming a 49-0 District 3-6A victory at Leon Williams Stadium. Prior to the game, the field at the stadium was named in honor of legendary CHS football coach...

Sophomore forward Gavyn Rosales scored in the 12th minute and Dallas Baptist held Eastern New Mexico University to no shots on goal Wednesday night in a key 1-0 Lone Star Conference victory over the Greyhounds at Steve Loy Stadium. The win pushed the Patriots (4-3-6, 3-1-2 LSC) ahead of ENMU (4-4-5, 2-2-2) and into a tie for third place with St. Edward’s (5-4-3, 3-1-2) in the conference standings. Meantime, the Hounds dropped into a share of fifth place in the league with Lubbock Christian (5-5-4, 2-3-2), each with eight p...
With a 14-5 overall record, which includes five one-goal defeats with three in overtime, the Clovis High boys soccer team believes it deserves a spot in the upcoming Class 5A state tournament. For now, though, the Wildcats just have to wait. Selections will be made today by the New Mexico Activities Association and, despite their record, the Cats entered the week ranked 15th. They last made the 5A state meet in 2018, when they reached the semifinals. The biggest question mark for Clovis is its overall strength of schedule....
DALLAS – Eastern New Mexico University’s volleyball team finished another long weekend on the road on Saturday, dropping a 25-12, 25-15, 25-18 Lone Star Conference decision to Dallas Baptist. Senior outside hitter Delaney Fuller led the Patriots (12-6, 6-2 LSC), ranked 25th in NCAA Division II and the defending LSC regular-season champions, with 17 kills and five of the team’s eight aces. She collected eight of her kills in the opening set, when DBU finished with 19 as a team. Sophomore outside hitter Karly Wells added 11 ki...
Clovis High’s soccer girls had Hobbs on the ropes for quite a while on Saturday, but they weren’t able to finish the Lady Eagles off. Still, it was a significant improvement over the teams’ first meeting in Hobbs. CHS led 1-0 at halftime, but the Lady Eagles mustered a couple of goals midway through the second canto to take a 2-1 victory in District 4-5A action at Leon Williams Stadium. The district champion and Class 5A sixth-ranked Lady Eagles (16-3, 5-0 district) won the earlier matchup at home 6-0. Lady Cats coach Ray R...
TYLER, Texas – Eastern New Mexico University's men were outshot 20-4 overall, but Texas-Tyler managed only three shots on goal and the teams battled to a scoreless draw on Saturday in Lone Star Conference soccer. It was the fourth meeting all-time between the Greyhounds and Patriots, and three of them have ended in draws – two of the scoreless variety and the other a 1-1 deadlock. Tyler picked up a 3-0 win at home in 2022. ENMU (4-3-5, 2-1-1 LSC) posted a second con...
Following a 42-24 Lone Star Conference loss on Saturday at Steve Loy Family Foundation Stadium, members of the Eastern New Mexico University football team watched a herd of West Texas A&M Buffs stampede off the turf and toward the scoreboard to take ownership of the Wagon Wheel, the trophy awarded to the winner of this contentious rivalry. "This is their trap and we just took it over," one Buff bellowed into his iPhone while recording the moment. The scene may have marked the...
ALBUQUERQUE – Clovis High’s girls finished sixth while the boys were 11th on Saturday in the 22-school Albuquerque Academy Extravaganza 5K cross country meet.

RICHARDSON, Texas – Coming off their second Lone Star Conference tournament championship, and first since 1993, Eastern New Mexico University’s men were picked for seventh place in the 16-team LSC in a poll released by the conference office on Monday.

West Texas A&M, an NCAA Division II national semifinalist and owner of a 30-5 record las...
Portales High’s football team is hopeful that a week off helps the Rams get back on track. Beaten 48-18 by St. Pius in their most recent outing on Oct. 11 at Steve Loy Family Foundation Stadium, PHS is looking for a bounce-back in a 1 p.m. District 2-4A kickoff on Saturday at Albuquerque Academy. Rams coach Jaime Ramirez said the bye week was beneficial. “We’re feeling better (physically),” he said. “It helped getting the guys healed up, for sure.” The Chargers (3-5, 1-3) are coming off a 22-9 loss at Friday night at Si...

TYLER, Texas – Texas-Tyler wasn’t about to be caught looking ahead to a Saturday’s showdown with ninth-ranked West Texas A&M for the Lone Star Conference volleyball lead.
