The football postseason begins on Friday night with 6-man quarterfinals on tap, and Clovis Christian and Elida will both be on the road. CCS (3-2), seeded fifth, plays at No. 4 Roy/Mosquero (3-1) while eighth-seeded Elida (3-5) takes on District 2 rival and top-seeded Gateway Christian (7-0) at Roswell in 7 p.m. kickoffs. Winners will face each other in next week’s semifinal round. Meantime, Texico (3-4, 1-0 District 6-2A) is coming off back-to-back 53-0 wins over Tucumcari and Clayton. The Wolverines travel to Santa Rosa (...
PORTALES - Whatever hopes Eastern New Mexico University's football team had of making Saturday's "Wagon Wheel" game against rival West Texas A&M a contest pretty much went out the window late in the first half. The Buffaloes punched over two touchdowns - including the first of two interception returns for TDs by junior cornerback Tobias Harris - in the last two minutes of the second period and went on to a dominating 44-24 Lone Star Conference victory at Greyhound Stadium....
HOBBS — It wasn’t too good of a day for Clovis High’s soccer teams on Saturday. First, the Lady Wildcats absorbed their third consecutive District 4-5A setback, falling to Hobbs 2-0. Then the Hobbs boys handed the Wildcats a 5-1 setback in the second half of the twin bill. First-year CHS girls coach Ray Rodriguez has led his squad to an impressive season so far, including a 1-0 double-overtime win over previously unbeaten district leader Carlsbad at Leon Williams Stadium on Sept. 28. But after their mini-losing streak, the La...
PORTALES — Senior outside hitter Jasmine Gannon collected her seventh double-double of the campaign and Eastern New Mexico University’s volleyball team severed an eight-match losing streak with a 25-20, 25-23, 25-18 Lone Star Conference sweep of Oklahoma Christian on Saturday afternoon at Greyhound Arena. The Texico High grad posted match highs of 17 kills and 12 digs as the Greyhounds (2-15, 2-7 LSC) won for the first time since taking their LSC opener in five sets at Texas A&M-Commerce on Sept. 17. Sophomore middle blo...
CLOVIS — What looked like it might be a pretty bleak season a few weeks ago has turned into one of optimism for the Clovis High football team. CHS (3-4, 3-1 Class 6A District 2/5) has put together a three-game winning streak, and on Friday the Wildcats look to keep it going when they host Sandia (3-4, 2-1) in a 7 p.m. kickoff at Leon Williams Stadium. “We’re playing better,” Cats coach Cal Fullerton said Monday. “We’re playing with some confidence.” The battle appears to be for second place in the district behind third-...

RAGLAND - On the edge of the caprock, a father and his teenage son built a makeshift set of goalposts that doubled as a pasture gate behind the village's general store. It was here the boy, Lewis Reagan, practiced his placekicking for the Tucumcari Rattlers football team. Those practices paid off when, as a senior, he kicked a state-record 58-yard field goal - one of three that split the uprights that night - during a 22-20 upset victory on Oct. 23, 1981, over Lovington. Nearl...
HOBBS - When Clovis and Hobbs clash at any sport, it's going to be intense. That's the deal with their rivalry, that's just how it is. Thursday's District 4-5A volleyball showdown at Ralph Tasker Arena was no exception. Though the result was a sweep for the Lady Eagles - 25-22, 25-16, 30-28 - the match was intense, especially the third and final set, as its score indicates. For Hobbs, that result brought another notch in the longstanding rivalry, along with a seventh...
PORTALES — A pair of new eras in Greyhound basketball will get started next month, as the Eastern New Mexico University men’s and women’s programs released their finalized 2021-22 schedules. The seasons will be the first for men’s coach Brent Owen and women’s coach Meghan De Los Reyes. Owen was hired in May 2020 after Tres Segler left for a non-coaching opportunity in the Dallas area, and De Los Reyes joined ENMU in August following Josh Prock’s move to West Texas A&M, which will visit in the Greyhounds’ Lone Star Conferen...
CLOVIS - How much help Clovis Christian got towards a potential 6-man playoff run with Thursday's 62-6 thrashing of previously unbeaten New Mexico School for the Deaf is up in the air. As far as CCS quarterback/linebacker Jaden Martinez was concerned, though, it was just fun to have another game at Jim Hill Field. "It was good to play at home again, and show what we can do," said Martinez after the Eagles (3-2) played just their second home contest of the season. "It was good...
CARLSBAD — You can bet the Carlsbad girls soccer team was ready for Tuesday’s visit by Clovis High — after all, the Lady Wildcats had dealt the Cavegirls their only loss of the season, a 2-1, double-overtime decision on Sept. 28 at Leon Williams Stadium. This time, Carlsbad (17-1, 3-1 District 4-5A) prevailed, but not without a struggle. Junior forward/midfielder Allie Myers trailed a play in front of the net and knocked in the game-winner midway through the second sudden-death overtime to give the Cavegirls a 1-0 victo...
RUIDOSO — Even two spectacular plays by Eric Ramirez couldn’t save the Portales High football team on Friday night. The senior wide receiver put the Rams in front with a 68-yard TD reception from sophomore quarterback Devin Diaz in the first quarter. He gave PHS the lead again when he returned the second-half kickoff 66 yards to the house. Other than that, the Rams could muster precious little in dropping a 28-13 Class 4A District 3/4 decision to Ruidoso. “It was a pretty good ballgame,” PHS coach Jaime Ramirez said. “We jus...
TEXICO - It didn't take long for Texico to put away an abbreviated homecoming and District 6-2A win against Clayton on Friday night. How about 24 plays, to be exact? Senior Cade Collins rushed for two touchdowns of more than 60 yards, then ended the game on the NMAA's mercy rule early in the third period by carrying a shovel pass from quarterback Cade Figg 53 yards for a score in a 53-0 rout of the Yellowjackets. Texico (3-4, 1-0 district) can claim the three-team district...
CLOVIS — Melrose continues its march towards a possible repeat title in Class 1A volleyball, and a fifth consecutive state finals appearance. Thursday night, the top-ranked Lady Buffs made short work of game but overmatched Clovis Christian, cruising to a 25-9, 25-9, 25-10 District 6-1A win over the Lady Eagles at the CCS gym. Up next for Melrose (14-0, 4-0 district) is a challenging closing schedule which includes home-and-home matchups with district rivals Fort Sumner (12-3, 4-0), ranked fourth in 1A, and Logan (11-5, 2...
ALBUQUERQUE — After ekeing out their first wins of the season the previous two weeks, Clovis High’s football team put some breathing room between itself and Manzano on Friday night. Senior quarterback Milo Acosta threw for two scores and ran for another as the Wildcats extended their winning streak to three with a 28-0 shutout of the Monarchs at Wilson Stadium. Clovis (3-4, 3-1 Class 6A District 2/5) was in control most of the way in a game which deteriorated into some confrontations on the field late. Cats coach Cal Ful...

RICHARDSON, Texas — Another highlight-reel game from Justin Manyweather has netted the Eastern New Mexico senior top honors from the Lone Star Conference. Manyweather, who set school records with 16 catches and 234 receiving yards in Saturday’s 50-47 win over Western New Mexico, was named the LSC’s Offensive Player of the Week, according to a release from the conference office. The award is the first for a Greyhound player this season. The Fullerton, California native was targeted 17 times on his 16 receptions, and his two-t...
SAN ANTONIO — Freshman midfielder Sierra Villanueva notched her first collegiate goal to give Eastern New Mexico University the lead early in the second half on Saturday, but St. Mary’s got the equalizer late in regulation and the teams battled to a two-overtime, 1-1 draw in Lone Star Conference women’s soccer. The result snapped a six-match losing streak for the Greyhounds (2-7-1. 0-4-1 LSC), dating to a 1-0 home win over Western Colorado on Sept. 10. It was also their first draw since playing a scoreless tie against Texas...
BOVINA — Bovina struggled through a tough schedule in its pre-district slate, intentionally set up that way by Mustangs coach Coby Emery. When they edged winless Sudan 6-0 last Friday in their District 2-2A Division II opener, Emery said the Mustangs took a large step in their bid to win a district title. He sees Sudan (0-6, 0-1) and New Home (4-3, 1-0) as the top challengers in the district race. Now they host the team with the district’s best record, Ropes (5-1, 0-1), on Friday. Emery believes records are somewhat dec...
CLOVIS — Clovis High’s boys tried to hang with Hobbs in a District 4-5A soccer match on Saturday at Leon Williams Stadium. Coach Greg Trujillo said the Wildcats just didn’t have it. Hobbs got a goal late in the first half and another towards the end of the contest to secure a 3-0 victory over the Cats. Meantime, the Eagles’ defense held Clovis without a shot on goal. “We came out and played very flat,” Trujillo said. “We knew they were going to move the ball all over the place, but we just had no energy.” Senior forward/...
HATCH — In a season where Portales High’s football team has struggled, the Rams have left no doubt when they do post a win. PHS (2-5) got on the board with a 53-0 spanking of Rio Grande on Sept. 25, and returned to the win column on Saturday in a 40-0 drubbing of host Hatch Valley. Despite its record, Portales has outscored its seven opponents for the season 208-152. “We’ve pretty much been in every game we’ve lost,” Rams coach Jaime Ramirez noted. On Friday, the Rams begin Class 4A District 3/4 action with a trip to Rui...
CLOVIS - Portales High's volleyball team got a first-hand look on Saturday night at quite likely its main competition in the upcoming District 4-4A race. After reaching the championship match of the Clovis Invitational at Rock Staubus Gym, the Lady Rams struggled against district rival Roswell Goddard and absorbed a 25-18, 25-20, 25-13 loss to the Lady Rockets. PHS (13-4) and Goddard (13-3) face off twice more this month, beginning with the district opener - the Lady Rams'...
CLOVIS — After struggling through the first six weeks of the season, Clovis High’s football team has suddenly put together a two-game winning streak. The Wildcats hope to add to it on Friday night when they travel to Albuquerque for a 7 p.m. Class 6A District 2/5 clash against Manzano at Wilson Stadium. A 28-21 victory on Friday at Santa Fe High has lifted the Cats (2-4, 2-1 district) into a tie for third place in the seven-team circuit with Sandia (3-4, 2-1). Meantime, the Monarchs (1-5, 0-2) are ahead of only Alb...
SILVER CITY — It’s been a long time since Western New Mexico has tasted victory against Eastern New Mexico University in football. That nearly changed on Saturday night. In a wild finish reminiscent of some of Sunday’s NFL games, ENMU scored twice in the final minute to wrest a 50-47 Lone Star Conference victory over the Mustangs in a matchup which in recent years has been dubbed the “Green Chili Bowl.” The teams combined for more than 700 yards of offense and 11 touchdown passes. But after Western took a 47-37 lead with...
