PORTALES - If the Eastern New Mexico University softball team is going to make the 10-team Lone Star Conference tournament, the Greyhounds will have to get hot in a hurry. ENMU dropped a pair of LSC twin bills over the weekend to start a 10-game homestand, including 7-3 and 4-2 decisions to Cameron on Sunday at Greyhound Softball Field. The Aggies (21-17, 9-11 LSC) pounded out 22 hits in the two games, including 16 in the opener, but they did most of their damage with six...
RATON — Texico had three players with four hits each on Saturday and the Wolverines downed Raton 16-11 to gain a split of their baseball doubleheader. The Tigers won the opener 5-0. Texico (4-4) scored six runs in the top of the first in the nightcap and led 7-2 through five innings. Both teams were getting a little short on pitching at that point, but the Wolverines managed to play Raton to a 9-9 standoff over the final two frames. Senior Kayden Queener went 4-for-5 and drive in three runs for Texico, while sophomore Daltyn...
PLAINVIEW, Texas — Clovis High’s girls made a strong showing in Friday’s Bulldog Relays, finishing second to Pampa, Texas with 94 1/2 points. “We had several strong performances,” Lady Wildcats coach Darrel Ray said. “One of those people was Asa Gonzales; she was just two inches from qualifying for state.” Gonzales, a sophomore, cleared 4 feet, 10 inches for second place in high jump.

PORTALES - Off to a 10-2 lead after three innings, the Portales High baseball team could almost taste its first win over Clovis High in years on Thursday night. In the end it nearly got away, but Rams senior Hagen Rains worked out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the seventh to preserve an 11-10 victory at Ram Field. Coming off doubleheaders the previous night, both teams' pitching depth was severely tested. In the end, Rains and CHS senior right-hander Jasiahs Jimenez were...
CLOVIS — Bobby Valderas says he just likes coaching youth basketball. Valderas, currently the eighth-grade boys coach at Gattis Middle School, formed a traveling youth squad several years ago called the Clovis Kings. This year, the team is expanding its reach to play in tournaments in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Nebraska. Valderas said the Kings, whose players range in age from 14-18, trained in 2019 and would have tried to play in tournaments the next year except for the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year, he said they were a...

The league begins a two-week postseason tournament on Monday at Roy Walker Recreation Center. That will be followed by a season-ending banquet. Edith Ann Bradley and former Clovis resident John Betts...

PORTALES - For a while, Eastern New Mexico University was one of the hottest teams in the Lone Star Conference. Strong pitching from Arkansas-Fort Smith in the final two games cooled off the Greyhounds, who were trying for their third consecutive LSC series win.
