Eastern New Mexico University’s soccer teams were both at home on Saturday, but neither could dent the scoreboard as the ENMU men dropped a 1-0 decision to St. Mary’s while the women were blanked by Texas-Tyler 2-0 in Lone Star Conference tilts at Steve Loy Family Foundation Stadium. In the men’s contest, St. Mary’s (6-2-2, 2-0 LSC) managed only three shots on goal to just one for the Greyhounds (2-3-3, 1-1). The Rattlers broke through in the 60th minute when senior midfielder Juan Jose Valdez Lopez beat ENMU freshma...
LOVINGTON – Lovington got a pair of first-half goals from senior forward/defender Aileah Rubio and handed Portales High a 3-1 setback on Monday in District 4-4A girls soccer. Rubio put the Lady Wildcats (2-13, 1-2 district) in front in the fifth minute, then gave them the lead for good with her second tally in the 28th minute. Sophomore midfielder Addyson Mayberry’s goal pulled the Lady Rams (5-9, 0-3) even in the 25th minute of the contest. Senior midfielder Kira Vazquez provided an insurance tally for Lovington about mid...
FRIONA – Clovis High’s volleyball team took a while to get going, and by the time it did the hole was a bit too step for them to climb out. Texas Class 3A power Friona dominated the opening set, then kept the Lady Wildcats at bay the rest of the way to claim a 25-10, 25-22, 25-20 victory on Saturday. Playing without senior hitter Ashlynn Evans (shoulder) and a couple of other regulars, the Lady Cats (6-9) didn’t have enough firepower to stay with the Squaws (25-7), who are ranked 29th out of 200 schools in Texas Class 3A. ...
ROSWELL – Portales High finished 1-2 over the weekend in Roswell Goddard’s six-team volleyball invitational. The Lady Rams lost to St. Michael’s 25-19, 25-18, 25-17 on Friday night, then went the distance to beat Artesia 21-25, 25-20, 25-16, 23-25, 15-9 before losing to the host Lady Rockets 25-23, 25-21, 23-25, 25-21 in Saturday matchups. PHS coach Bailey Greenwalt said the event was not played in tournament format. Instead, each team faced three of the other five squads. “Everyone there was a quality team,” she said. “Wh...
Clovis High went back and forth for 80 minutes with Hobbs in Saturday's District 4-5A boys soccer match at Leon Williams Stadium. It didn't take the Eagles long to break through, though, when the contest went into overtime. Senior Alexis Sanchez found an opening just inside the 18-yard box and punched the ball into the net just 32 seconds into sudden-death overtime to give the Eagles a 1-0 victory. It was a tough loss for the Wildcats (12-3, 1-1 district), snapping their...
With dour faces and schlepping cleats, Eastern New Mexico University football players plodded out of their locker room following Saturday's 44-28 homecoming loss to No. 11 Central Washington at Steve Loy Family Foundation Stadium. The problem isn't losing to CWU. The Wildcats are the 11th-best Division II squad in the nation, and could be a darkhorse to win a national title this winter. What is the problem, however, is that it was the Greyhounds' third-straight loss. While com...
ARTESIA – Clovis High’s girls used a 2-3-4 individual finish to squeak out a team victory while senior Sammy Fuentes’ individual title helped the CHS boys finish second in Artesia’s Twilight Invitational cross country meet on Friday.

Meantime, Hobbs ran away with the boys’ team title with 44 points, while the Wildcats nipped Carlsbad for second place 81-80 in a 10-team field. Sophomore Brooke Newcomer...

Portales High's soccer girls aren't setting the world on fire just yet, but they're coming along well.

The Clovis High boys soccer team kept its hot start to the season going on Tuesday night, pulling away in the second half for a 6-1 victory over Carlsbad in the District 4-5A opener for both squads at Leon Williams Stadium. It was the eighth win in a row for the Wildcats (12-2), their longest streak since starting the season 13-0 in 2018 en route to a berth in the Class 5A state semifinals. They were expecting a test at home on Saturday from rival Hobbs (9-5-1, 0-1-1...
Eastern New Mexico University’s volleyball team went toe to toe with Lubbock Christian in two of the three sets in Friday’s Lone Star Conference volleyball match before the Lady Chaps nailed down a 25-18, 25-13, 25-23 victory at Steve Loy Family Foundation Arena. The match was the first for the Greyhounds after coach Sia Poyer stepped down earlier this week to deal with some health issues, the school said. First-year assistant Natalie Burdulis was named the program’s interim coach for the rest of the season. “Our primary...
Apparently well on its way to victory, Artesia seemed to forget Thursday's volleyball match against Clovis High at Rock Staubus Gymnasium was a best-of-five. After cruising through the first two sets, the Lady Bulldogs found themselves down 20-9 in Game 3. They rallied to make it close, then fought off the Lady Wildcats in the fourth set to complete a 25-13, 25-16, 23-25, 25-22 victory. Senior middle blocker Hattie Harrison took over in the latter stages of the match and...

SILVER CITY – Western New Mexico pulled out three close sets and the Mustangs handed Eastern New Mexico University a 25-22, 25-22, 26-24 Lone Star Conference setback on Saturday. ENMU (3-10, 0-2 LSC), which dropped its conference opener on Thursday at Texas-Permian Basin on Thursday, battled evenly through most of the match but couldn’t pull out points late in each set.

CANYON – Senior Sammy Fuentes finished third and led Clovis High’s boys to a third-place team finish in Saturday’s Canyon Invitational cross country meet.

Canyon cruised to team honors in a field of 13 full squads with 22 points, well ahead of Frenship (112) and the Cats (143), who edged Plainview by one point. “We’re just working hard and trying to improve our speed,” CHS...
ROSWELL – Juniors Olivia Rossow and Aubrie Bolanos each scored a pair of second-half goals and Roswell Goddard blanked Portales 4-0 on Saturday in the girls District 4-4A opener for both squads. The Lady Rams (5-7 overall) held their own for a half against the Lady Rockets (9-5-1), but they couldn’t keep pace after play resumed. Still, PHS coach Laci Lozoya said she was encouraged by her squad’s play. “We’re excited for the next time we play them,” she said. “We didn’t have our full roster this time.” The teams meet again...
Centennial got an early goal, then stayed put for most of the rest of the day. Clovis High’s soccer girls, though, couldn’t find the net and the Las Cruces-based Lady Hawks added a late insurance tally to claim a 2-0 win on Saturday at Leon Williams Stadium. The match was a makeup of a Sept. 21 contest postponed due to inclement weather. Sophomore forward Cleo Coca tallied both goals for Centennial (7-7), which was in control much of the way and kept the Lady Cats (4-8-2) from finding many opportunities. “We created some chan...

They are coming off a bye week. Meantime, the Ellensburg, Wash.-based Wildcats bring...
After reaching the Class 4A state championship game in 2023, Portales High’s football team has had a bit of a rough go this season, in part due to injuries. Still, the Rams (3-3, 1-1 District 2-4A) find themselves in reasonably good shape in the district after Friday’s 34-21 victory over Valencia at Steve Loy Family Foundation Stadium. They’ll try to keep it that way on Friday when they visit Silver (2-4, 0-2) in a 7 p.m. kickoff. Things haven’t gone all that well this season for the Colts, either, but Rams coach Jaime R...
