TEXICO – Pecos and Texico played to a 9-9 tie through four innings on Thursday night, then waited a long time before anyone scored again in their District 6-2A baseball matchup. It was still 9-9 through nine innings, but the Panthers scored twice in the top of the 10th and held on for an 11-10 victory over the Wolverines. Sophomore Jesus Chavez went 3-for-3 at the plate for Texico with a double, two runs scored and two walks. He also took over on the mound during the Panthers'...
CANYON, Texas – Six members of the Eastern New Mexico University softball team were honored by the Lone Star Conference on Wednesday night prior to the start of the LSC tournament. Leading the way were junior catcher Samantha Gutierrez, senior designated player Taighen Whitzel and senior third baseman Alondra Vasquez, all chosen to the first team. Vasquez was also awarded a Gold Glove honor for her play in the field this season. Whitzel entered the tournament with a team-leading .387 average, 12 home runs, 60 hits and 24 w...
LOVINGTON – Portales High’s baseball team got just what it needed with a strong pitching performance from senior Kaiden Gutierrez on Thursday night. Gutierrez also did all right at the plate in sparking the Rams’ 5-1 District 4-4A victory over Lovington. The teams entered their regular-season-ending weekend series tied for the cellar at 0-6 in the four-team district, but the Rams (10-11) are hopeful an overall good showing against the struggling Wildcats (4-18) will be enough to lift them into this week’s 16-team Class 4...
Portales High’s softball team was close enough to breaking through in District 4-4A on Tuesday night that the Lady Rams could almost taste it. PHS led 2-1 after two innings, then scored twice in the bottom of the sixth to tie visiting Roswell Goddard only to see the Lady Rockets post a three-run rally in the top of the seventh for an 8-4 victory. Portales (10-13, 0-7 district) outhit Goddard 8-5 for the game, with sophomore Anetsy Acosta and eighth-grader Amaya Lujan both going 2-for-3. Acosta drove in a run, while f...
While 12 seniors honored in postgame ceremonies on Thursday night at Bell Park, it was junior Jace Piepkorn who stole the spotlight. Piepkorn, a transfer from Class 1A Grady, spun his second shutout of the season on a two-hitter and also contributed a run-scoring single as the Wildcats blanked Roswell High 10-0 in a District 4-5A clash and their home finale. Except for a brief blip in the fifth, when he walked the bases loaded before escaping, Piepkorn stayed in command in...
CANYON, Texas – Eastern New Mexico University’s softball team was the last squad to beat third-ranked Texas-Tyler, posting a 3-2 win on March 23 at Tyler. On Thursday, the Greyhounds nearly ended the Patriots’ 19-game winning streak, but instead saw their season come to an end in a 4-3 quarterfinal loss in the Lone Star Conference tournament. ENMU (26-26), which beat Texas Woman’s in a first-round match on Thursday morning, fell into a 3-0 hole in the first inning against the Patriots (47-7) and wasn’t able to catch up. Junio...

It certainly wasn't the way Eastern New Mexico University's softball team wanted to end the regular season. Now the Greyhounds will see if they can bounce back when they open play as the No. 10 seed in the 10-team Lone Star Conference tournament at Canyon, Texas, facing seventh-seeded Texas Woman's (25-28) in the opening round at 10 a.m. on Thursday. It's the second consecutive year and just the fourth time in program history that the Hounds (25-25, 18-24 LSC) have reached...
LOGAN – Top-ranked Logan built an early four-run lead and hung on late to edge Grady 8-7 on Monday in District 2-1A baseball. Logan (15-3, 6-1 district), coming off a 14-8 loss at Cimarron on Friday in the second game of a doubleheader, got a 3-for-4 showing from junior Diego Sanchez, who doubled, scored twice and drove in a run. Senior Izaiah Kneitz went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBIs, while senior Brock Burns was 1-for-1 with three walks, two runs scored and two RBIs. Senior Zane Rush was 2-for-4 with a run scored a...
LUBBOCK – Eastern New Mexico University’s track squads completed the outdoor regular season portion of their schedule on Friday, competing in Texas Tech’s Corky/Crofoot Shootout. The Greyhounds have this week off from competition before taking part in the Lone Star Conference championships May 9-11 at Angelo State. Junior Timothy Frederick posted the highest finish for the ENMU men, placing sixth out of 60 runners in the 200 with a time of 20.86 seconds.

ARTESIA – Portales High’s girls notched several season bests on Saturday en route to a second-place team finish in the Artesia Invite track meet.

Portales was seventh in boys competition with 26 points. The Lady Rams got individual wins from senior Olivia Low (120 feet, 7 inches) in discus and junior Kadynce Reeves in pole vault (9-6). Low, who...
LUBBOCK – Eastern New Mexico University’s baseball played Lubbock Christian competitively for much of the team’s final Lone Star Conference series of the season, but the Greyhounds didn’t have anything to show for it. LCU completed a late charge to overhaul West Texas A&M for its first regular-season championship since joining the league in 2020 and earn the No. 1 seed in the conference’s eight-team postseason tournament beginning this weekend, beating the Hounds 9-4 on Sunday to complete a four-game sweep. It was just enou...
Freshman Addyson Mayberry got the Portales High softball team off to a flying start on Tuesday night. Mayberry walloped a three-run homer in the first inning and the early lead held up for a while in a District 4-4A matchup against visiting Artesia. But the Lady Bulldogs, blanked until the fourth, took the lead with a four-run fifth and went on to a 13-3 victory. Mayberry followed singles by sophomore Skyler Massey and junior Myleigh Banda with her round-tripper. But PHS had...
ROSWELL – Big innings did in Clovis High’s softball team in a District 4-5A twin bill against Roswell High on Tuesday. The Lady Wildcats dropped the opener 10-0 and the nightcap 15-4. Leading just 3-0 in Game 1, the Lady Coyotes (7-15, 2-6) scored six times in the bottom of the fifth and ended it on the run rule in the sixth, while in the second game they broke a 1-1 tie with a nine-run second. Junior Yadira Aragon worked five innings in the opener for Roswell High, allowing five hits with one walk and five strikeouts. Sop...
MELROSE – Melrose pushed over a run in the bottom of the sixth inning on Thursday and edged Grady 8-7 for a split of their District 3-1A baseball doubleheader. In the opener, the Bronchos used a pair of big innings to post a 13-5 win over the Buffaloes. Melrose (9-5, 4-2 district) came in ranked No. 2 and Grady (9-4, 2-4) was No. 4 in MaxPreps' Class 1A poll. Junior Cy Draper went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBIs and two runs scored in Game 2 for Melrose, while senior D...
Liz Elam wasn’t pleased with her start in Clovis High’s Wildcat Invite golf tournament on Tuesday at Colonial Park Golf Course, but she eventually sorted things out. Starting on the back nine, the Texico High senior shot six-over 42 from holes 10 through 18, then came back for even-par 36 on the front side, easily taking medalist honors for the day with her 78. “I don’t really know what happened,” Elam said of her slow start. “I wasn’t really that focused. “I told myself, ‘Don’t worry about the score.’ I just decided to play...
LUBBOCK – Lubbock Christian used a six-run eighth to break open a tight game and beat Eastern New Mexico University 15-9 on Friday in the opener of the final four-game series of Lone Star Conference and regular-season baseball for both teams. Despite the loss, the Greyhounds (21-26, 19-26 LSC) still clung to life in a bid for an LSC tourney berth next week. They entered Saturday and today’s final three games of the regular season trailing St. Edward’s and Texas A&M International, tied for sixth at 22-23 in the LSC, and Arkans...
ROSWELL – Portales High's baseball team knew its work was cut out facing the No. 1 team in Class 4A this week. The Rams managed only a single tally in all three games, including Friday's 4-1, 8-1 sweep by the Rockets in Roswell. Goddard, which has won 11 in a row, opened the District 4-4A series on Thursday night with a 7-1 verdict at Ram Field. Portales (9-11, 0-6 district) kept the Rockets (18-5, 6-0) in some check during the series, but the Rams managed only a total of eigh...
Jayden Jameson found his game just in time Thursday night. The senior right-hander struggled through a five-run Hobbs second – two errors in the frame didn’t help – before blanking the Eagles over the next four innings as Clovis High posted a come-from-behind 8-6 win in the second game of a District 4-5A doubleheader at Bell Park. Hobbs clinched a series win with a 17-12 verdict in Game 1 behind a nine-run third. The Cats (12-10, 2-4 district) close the regular season with three games against Roswell High this week – a 5 p.m...
Hobbs proved to be too much for Clovis High's tennis squads on Tuesday in District 4-5A duals at the CHS courts. The Eagles swept the Wildcats 9-0 in boys competition while the Lady Eagles notched a 7-2 victory over Clovis on the girls' side. In the boys' dual, the Cats were unable to win a set as they took just 19 games in the nine matches, including only two in the three doubles clashes. The closest contests were from eighth-grader Ryan Case, who lost 6-4, 6-1 to senior...
Coming into this weekend’s season-ending Lone Star Conference series against St. Mary’s, Eastern New Mexico University’s softball team knew its work wasn’t quite done in a bid for an LSC tournament berth. It was done before Friday’s series-opening doubleheader, though. St. Edward’s, trailing the Greyhounds by two games, played its series at Texas Woman’s early this week due to weather concerns for the weekend in the Denton area. Needing a sweep – and three losses by the Hounds – the Rattlers dropped two of three to the Pionee...
KINGSVILLE, Texas – After tossing her fourth shutout of the season in Friday’s series opener, Eastern New Mexico University sophomore right-hander Marissa Rodriguez was treated rudely by Texas A&M-Kingsville in Saturday’s Lone Star Conference series finale. The Javelinas banged out 15 hits off Rodriguez in 4 1/3 innings, knocking her from the box in a five-run fifth, and handed the Greyhounds a 9-5 setback to win the series. Kingsville (29-21, 22-20 LSC) has finished its regular campaign and is now assured of ninth place...
Were it not for three big crooked numbers, there wouldn’t have been much going on offensively in Friday’s District 4-5A baseball doubleheader between Clovis High and Carlsbad at Bell Park. Fortunately for the Wildcats, their big frame – a seven-run seventh – was just enough to pull out a 7-6 victory in the opener. The Cavemen posted their second six-run round of the night in the nightcap en route to an 11-0 victory. Carlsbad (13-7) took two of three from the Cats (11-8) in the district-opening series for both teams. Clovis co...
