CLOVIS - By Las Vegas standards, Hobbs would have entered Thursday's District 4-5A volleyball match against Clovis High at Rock Staubus Gym as a prohibitive favorite. Sure, the Lady Eagles prevailed in the end, clinching the district title, but not before taking a few body blows from the Lady Wildcats. Hobbs (14-8, 5-0 district) extended its winning streak to 10 matches with a relatively hard-fought 25-14, 22-25, 25-12, 25-19 victory. The second-set loss was only the third...
PORTALES — Eastern New Mexico University extended its late-season winning streak to four on Friday night with a 25-12, 22-25, 25-19, 17-25, 15-12 Lone Star Conference win over Texas A&M International at Greyhound Arena. The Greyhounds (5-15, 5-7 LSC) pulled away from a 10-10 tie in the deciding set, getting a kill from senior outside hitter Jasmine Gannon to go in front before freshman outside hitter Mikaela Garvin notched three kills in the final four points. Senior outside hitter Jasmine Gannon collected her ninth d...
MULESHOE - After getting a quick shot in the mouth on Friday night, the Muleshoe football team bounced back in dominating fashion. Senior quarterback Zach Hasley threw for seven touchdowns - six in the first half - and the Mules stormed back to blow out Dalhart 61-16 in a District 2-3A Division I clash. The game was for sole possession of second place in the five-team district, and the Mules (4-5, 2-1 district) left no doubt. They finished with 26 first downs and 558 yards of...
ROSWELL — Portales High junior Michael Riess claimed boys individual medalist honors in Friday’s District 4-4A cross country meet at the New Mexico Military course. The Rams finished second in team standings behind Lovington while the Lady Rams were third in girls competition, trailing host Roswell Goddard and Lovington. Team scores were unavailable. Meantime in District 4-5A, hosted by Roswell High at NMMI, Clovis qualified its boys team second and its girls squad third. In both meets, the top three of four teams earned tri...
RICHARDSON, Texas — After sitting out last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, expectations are not high for Eastern New Mexico University’s basketball teams in the Lone Star Conference. In preseason polls released Tuesday and Wednesday by the LSC office, the ENMU women were picked for 13th and the men 14th by a vote of coaches, sports information directors and media representatives for all 17 schools. Lubbock Christian was chosen to repeat as conference champion in both polls. Though some teams began action last week, mos...

LUBBOCK — With Matt Wells' dismissal Monday midway through his third season at Texas Tech, the Red Raiders are back in the market for their fourth football coach in the past decade. Since Tech fired Mike Leach in December 2009, Tommy Tuberville, Kliff Kingsbury and Wells have been unable to restore the program's winning ways. Tech athletics director Kirby Hocutt has enlisted four men to assist in the upcoming search: deputy AD Tony Hernandez, Tech Regents and donors Dusty Womble and Cody Campbell and former Tech and NFL r...
BOVINA - All is quiet on the New Mexico area small-school football front this weekend. Clovis Christian and Elida were ousted in the first round of the 6-man playoffs last week, while Texico and Melrose have first-round byes in Class 2A and 8-man, respectively. It's not so quiet on the Texas side, however, with all three teams engaging in meaningful contests. Farwell visits Panhandle with the District 1-2A Division I title on the line, while Bovina hosts New Home in its regula...
LAWTON, Okla. - Senior Aminata Kenyawani was ninth individually, helping Eastern New Mexico University's women take fourth place as a team on Saturday in the Lone Star Conference cross country championships, hosted by Cameron University. Kenyawani posted a six-kilometer time of 22 minutes, 42.83 seconds for the Greyhounds, who finished with 106 points to trail Dallas Baptist (35), West Texas A&M (38) and Texas A&M International (96) in a field of 16 full teams. ENMU put all...
CLOVIS — Clovis High’s girls were accorded the No. 10 seed by the New Mexico Activities Association on Sunday in Class 5A state soccer playoffs, and the Lady Wildcats (13-4-1) faced a first-round date on Tuesday at No. 7 Volcano Vista (11-5-1). The winner of that matchup advances to quarterfinal play against second-seeded Carlsbad (18-2), ostensibly at Carlsbad, on Saturday. The Lady Cats handed the Cavegirls their only loss of the season (2-1 in double overtime at Leon Williams Stadium on Sept. 28) before Carlsbad dro...
CLOVIS — It’s conceivable that either Clovis High or Portales High, or both, could still make it to postseason play. But the Wildcats and Rams have work to do, and almost surely will need to pull off road upsets in regular-season finales this week to have a realistic chance. CHS (3-5, 3-2 Class 6A District 2/5), which saw its three-game winning streak end in a 41-14 loss to Sandia on Friday night at Leon Williams Stadium, plays a 7 p.m. game on Thursday against Eldorado (6-3, 3-1) at Albuquerque’s Milne Stadium. Meant...
ODESSA, Texas — Texas-Permian Basin has probably been the surprise team this season in Lone Star Conference football. The Falcons, in just the seventh year of their program, kept themselves in contention for at least a possible share of the LSC title Saturday night, outscoring Eastern New Mexico University 28-0 over a 10-minute stretch spanning the third and fourth quarters to notch a 44-21 victory. Junior quarterback Clayton Roberts threw for 295 and three touchdowns, two to junior wide receiver M.J. Link, as the Falcons (...

LUBBOCK -- Texas Tech head football coach Matt Wells was fired Monday, effective immediately. Tech Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt announced the change in leadership. Tech Offensive Coordinator Sonny Cumbie was named the interim head coach for the remainder of the season. Texas Tech is 5-3 this season, but calls for Wells' immediate ouster began after Saturday’s 25-24 loss to Kansas State. Tech led 24-10 at halftime of that game. The Red Raiders would be eligible for a post-season bowl game with just one more win, but their f...
CLOVIS - Clovis native Isabel Garcia is hoping to soon become a member of the Clovis Police Department. Right now, she has another passion - boxing. After 35 fights as an amateur, the 22-year-old Garcia is scheduled to be a part of a pro fight card set for Saturday night in Las Cruces. She is scheduled to take on Stephanie Hun, a native Korean who is now fighting out of the El Paso area. The bout is in the 138-pound division and is scheduled for four, two-minute rounds. Asked...
CLOVIS - After losing its previous three matches - albeit to quality opponents - the Clovis High girls soccer team believes it finally punched its ticket to this week's 12-team Class 5A state playoffs. Senior forward Nevaeh Coronado's goal late in the first half stood up, and the Lady Wildcats edged Roswell High 1-0 on Thursday night in the District 4-5A and regular-season finale for both teams at Leon Williams Stadium. In its last three outings, CHS (13-4-1, 3-3 district)...
CLOVIS - For perhaps one of the few times this season, the breaks favored Clovis High's volleyball team, especially late, coach Darrel Ray said. After a discouraging Game 2 loss which put them in a 2-0 hole, the Lady Wildcats came alive down the stretch and pulled out a 20-25, 23-25, 25-19, 25-20, 15-12 District 4-5A victory over Roswell High on Tuesday night at Rock Staubus Gym. "We started slowly," Ray said. "We had opportunities in Game 2, but we missed two serves late."...
LUBBOCK — After capturing women’s team honors in the LCU Region Preview meet on Oct. 16, hosted by Lubbock Christian, Eastern New Mexico University’s cross country squads headed to Cameron University in Lawton, Okla. on Saturday for the Lone Star Conference championships on Saturday. At LCU, the Greyhounds had the top two and six of the top 10 finishers in the 5K women’s race, led by sophomore Dorcas Kosgei with a winning time of 19 minutes, 13.1 seconds and junior Lethabo Seems, second in 19:32.4. For the men, the top tim...

LOVINGTON — Portales High’s Michael Riess and Clovis High’s Sammy Fuentes each finished in the top five on Thursday in a pre-district cross country meet. The event, originally scheduled for Portales, was moved to Lovington in midweek due to the unavailability of the course in Portales, PHS coach Laura McNeill said. Riess ran a time of 16 minutes, 58 seconds in the five-kilometer event, trailing only Lovington’s Derrick Castellanos (16:50). Meantime, Fuentes came in fifth with a clocking of 17:44, helping the Wildcats finish...
PORTALES - With the Portales Rams still technically its defending champion, following an abbreviated spring season with no title game, the field is wide open for the blue trophy in Class 4A. However, the Rams might not have a chance to defend their crown, with the latest blow a 12-0 setback to a defensively stout Silver squad. The visiting Colts (6-3, 2-1) held a punchless Ram offense to 72 yards and slowly took control of things in the second half. Silver took the lead with...
AMARILLO — Sophomore Daniel Sianez scored three touchdowns, including one on the opening kickoff and another on a 3-yard run for the go-ahead score with about four minutes left, and Muleshoe defeated Amarillo River Road 42-38 on Friday night in a Texas District 2-3A Division I matchup. The Mules (3-5, 1-1 district) clinched the win on an interception in the end zone by junior Judas Reyes with 26 seconds left. In a game featuring six lead changes, including three in the final period, Sianez ran the opening kickoff 80 yards, t...
CLOVIS - Sandia put a quick end to Clovis High's hopes of a possible second-place finish in Class 6A District 2/5 on Friday night. Shawn Johnson, a 6-foot-6 senior recently recruited off the Matadors' basketball team, scored two touchdowns and used his size to grab six passes for 69 yards while also making a couple of key plays on defense as the Matadors posted a 41-14 victory over the Wildcats at Leon Williams Stadium. Sandia coach Chad Adcox, whose team had to cancel its...
