AUSTIN, Texas – Eastern New Mexico University’s baseball team is still looking for its first series win. On Sunday, the Greyhounds had a great chance to do just that, but they couldn’t hang on to an 8-0 lead and St. Edward’s rallied late for a 9-8 victory and a series split. Trailing 8-0, the Hilltoppers (6-8, 6-6 LSC) scored seven times in the bottom of the sixth, capped by a three-run homer from junior designated hitter Dillon Flores, then got a bases-loaded, two-run single with two out in the eighth from senior right f...
It's been a season of "what ifs" for the Eastern New Mexico University women's basketball team. Fully half of the Greyhounds' 26 games have been decided by six points or less (6-7), and they've had their share of disappointments. On Saturday, though, they got one to bounce their way as junior forward Ishuana Hunter found senior guard/forward Deja Adrian for a back-door layup with 3.6 seconds left for a 56-54 Lone Star Conference win over Arkansas-Fort Smith at Greyhound...
MELROSE – Melrose's boys overcame a slow start Thursday night, using a 26-point second quarter to take the lead en route to a 60-49 District 6-1A victory over Fort Sumner in a battle of the top two teams in Class 1A. Junior Josiah Roybal tallied a season-best 18 points and junior Chance Brittenum added 12 for the second-ranked Buffaloes (22-3, 4-2 district), who got scoring from nine players. Trailing by 11, the Buffs' second-quarter surge gave them a 32-30 halftime lead a...
AUSTIN, Texas – Junior shortstop Willie Ponce drove in three runs and junior right-hander Gavin Perry tossed a complete-game five-hitter on Friday as Eastern New Mexico University defeated St. Edward’s 8-3 in the opener of a four-game Lone Star Conference baseball series. Ponce’s two-run single capped a three-run third for the Greyhounds (6-7, 6-7 LSC) , and he drove in a run with a bases-loaded fielder’s choice in the seventh. He finished the day 2-for-4 and also scored twice. Perry (2-2) walked four and struck out six, th...
LUBBOCK – Farwell’s girls continued their strong run through the Texas Class 2A playoffs on Tuesday night, posting a 59-43 victory over Floydada for their 18th win in a row in a regional quarterfinal game played at Lubbock Cooper H.S. The Lady Blue (32-3), ranked No. 1 this week in the 2A rankings by MaxPreps, advanced to a Friday night regional semifinal matchup against Christoval (30-7) at South Plains College in Levelland. The Lady Cougars, ranked 19th, brought a 14-game win streak into the match after edging Sundown 48-44...
SILVER CITY – Sophomore Marissa Rodriguez got Eastern New Mexico University on the board with a two-run homer in the second inning and pitched a complete game in the circle as the Greyhounds defeated Western New Mexico 12-3 on Wednesday to capture their Lone Star Conference softball series. The contest was shortened to six innings by the eight-run rule. After getting run-ruled in the series opener, the Hounds (10-4, 3-3 LSC) outscored WNMU 24-4 over the final two games. Rodriguez followed a leadoff walk to junior catcher Sama...
Lovington kept scoring the ball during the second half of what had been a tight District 4-4A matchup against Portales High on Friday night at the Ram Athletic Center. Meantime, the Rams all but stopped scoring. The Wildcats turned a one-point lead at the intermission into a runaway, outscoring PHS 22-8 in the third quarter en route to a 77-54 victory. Lovington (16-10, 4-2 district) earned the No. 2 seed in this week's 4-4A tournament. On Thursday night, the Wildcats host...
It took Eastern New Mexico University's men a while to get going Thursday night. You'd never know it by the final result. Playing again without the services of senior guard/forward and Lone Star Conference scoring leader Jahcoree Ealy, the Greyhounds went crazy after scoring only four points in the first seven minutes on 1-of-13 shooting, including 0-of-7 from 3-point range. Down 19-6 nine minutes in, ENMU tallied an astonishing 84 points in 23 minutes to turn a 10-point...
Eastern New Mexico University has released its football schedule for the 2024 season. The Greyhounds open against New Mexico Highlands for the third season in a row, facing the Cowboys on Thursday, Aug. 29, in a 6 p.m. kickoff at Las Vegas, N.M. “I’m ready for the fall to get here,” ENMU coach Kelley Lee said. “This season we get to play for the Wagon Wheel (against rival West Texas A&M), and I think there’s a lot to look forward to for the Greyhounds in 2024.” ENMU is coming off a 5-6 campaign last fall, including 2...
LEVELLAND, Texas – Farwell’s basketball teams continued their surge through the Texas Class 2A playoffs, extending lengthy winning streaks in the process.

Farwell (33-3) faced seventh-ranked Wellington (28-6) in Saturday’s regional final with a trip to Thursday’s state semifinals in Austin on the line. Against Christo...
Poor free throw shooting nearly cost Portales High's girls their District 4-4A and regular-season finale against Lovington on Friday night at the Ram Athletic Center. They recovered in overtime, though, scoring the final eight points to eke out a 62-57 victory over the Lady Wildcats and claim the No. 2 seed behind Artesia in this week's district tournament. Third-seeded Lovington (15-11, 2-4 district) hosts Roswell Goddard at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, with that winner traveling to...
ROSWELL – Clovis High’s boys dug themselves out of an early hole Friday night, then fell right back into the hole. As a result, the Wildcats shared the regular-season District 4-5A title with Roswell High after losing to the Coyotes 69-60. The teams meet at 6 p.m. on Monday at Hobbs, with the winner earning the top seed in the district tourney and advancing to host Saturday’s 6 p.m. title tilt. CHS boys coach Josh Mattox was not happy with what he saw. “We played out of our minds, and in a negative way,” he said. “We turne...
Following a blazing start to their Lone Star Conference series against Texas A&M-Kingsville, the Eastern New Mexico University baseball team struggled mightily the rest of the weekend. The Javelinas pounded out 17 hits in each of the final two games, including Sunday's finale in which they blasted five home runs and cruised to a 14-8 victory to take the series 3-1. ENMU won the opener of Friday's doubleheader 13-1, while Kingsville rallied to gain a split with a 7-6 victory...
TEXICO – Coming off an unlikely run to a Class 2A state championship last March, Texico's girls are bidding for a repeat performance. They were 6-12 last season when they won 11 of their final 12 games to claim their first state title since 2018. Ironically, the Lady Wolverines were also 6-12 this season, but have notched four wins in their past five outings – including a victory over then-Class 2A top-ranked Tatum. Monday night's 56-49 District 6-2A win over Clayton mov...
ROSWELL – Clovis High’s wrestlers added three boys state qualifiers on Saturday, giving the program four entries into the state meet scheduled Friday and Saturday at Rio Rancho Events Center. Eighth-grader Leyton Collazo at 152 pounds and junior Michael Weist at heavyweight both finished sixth for the Wildcats in Saturday’s competition, while senior Felix Madrid earned a wild-card berth in the 139-pound class. In girls regional competition at Silver City on Feb. 10, sophomore Sophie Collazo notched a berth for the Lady Wildca...
LUBBOCK – Eastern New Mexico University’s men shot 54 percent for the game, including 69 percent in the first half, and all but led wire-to-wire. Still, it took a key play on defense to secure the Greyhounds’ 88-84 Lone Star Conference men’s victory over Lubbock Christian on Saturday. With what had been as much as a 21-point lead all but gone, LCU freshman guard Ethan Duncan went up for a potential go-ahead 3-pointer with 20 seconds left. Six-foot-7 senior guard/forward Jahcoree Ealy used his long wing span to go up and blo...
LAREDO, Texas – Hoping for a doubleheader sweep and a series win to start Lone Star Conference play, Eastern New Mexico University’s softball team couldn’t close out Texas A&M International on Sunday. In the lidlifter, the Greyhounds routed the Dustdevils 12-3 in five innings on the eight-run rule. They led 2-0 in the sixth inning of Game 2, but International rallied for three runs and won 3-2 when sophomore left fielder Victoria Espinoza threw out ENMU senior Mikenzey Patterson at the plate to end it. International outhit EN...
BOVINA – The Farwell Steers completed a perfect run through District 2-3A boys play on Tuesday night, pulling away after halftime for a 70-43 victory over Bovina. Tied with the Mustangs 28-28 at the break, Farwell (23-9, 10-0 district) posted a 42-15 scoring advantage in the final two cantos to stretch its winning streak to 12 games. Junior Ryder McElroy led the Steers with 18 points, while senior Corey Stancell and sophomore Braddock Foster chipped in 13 apiece. Farwell p...
CANYON, Texas – Eastern New Mexico University’s men took a 2-0 lead in the second minute of Thursday’s Lone Star Conference matchup against top-ranked West Texas A&M. It was all downhill from there. WT scored the game’s next 11 points and never looked back, rolling to a 93-68 victory over the Greyhounds and dropping ENMU to 0-3 on its four-game road stretch. With the win, the Buffaloes (23-1, 18-0 LSC) ran their winning streak to 20 dating to an 80-79 home loss to Metro State on Nov. 16. ENMU (14-9, 10-7), which lost to WT 8...
Portales High's girls are looking at a big week in District 4-4A to conclude the regular season. On Friday night, though, Roswell Goddard did its best to throw a monkey wrench into things. It took a 22-point fourth quarter for PHS to come from behind and finally put Goddard away 42-32 at the Ram Athletic Center, leaving the Lady Rams (18-6, 3-1) in a tie for the top spot with Artesia (17-6, 3-1), which needed a late rally of its own to down Lovington 45-40 on Friday. PHS...
AMARILLO – Farwell’s girls built a commanding lead, saw most of it dissipate, then pulled away with a strong defensive second half to beat Clarendon 52-38 on a Texas Class 2A area (second) round game on Friday night at West Plains H.S. Junior Makylee Baldwin scored 18 points, junior Landri Richey had 14 and junior Bella Jaime added 10 for the Class 2A second-ranked Lady Blue (31-3), who won their 17th game in a row and advance to a Tuesday regional quarterfinal match against Floydada (27-3), at a time and site to be det...
Even when they're having a "down" season, the Hobbs Eagles can be a handful. Apparently headed for their first losing campaign since 2010-11, the Eagles have given Clovis High's boys all they wanted in two regular-season meetings, including on Friday night when the Wildcats pulled out a 65-62 victory at Rock Staubus Gym. It was the team's first win over their rivals since taking two of three against the Eagles in the 2019-20 season. Senior center Marvin Cox scored 19 points...
HOBBS – The week started off with another tough, narrow loss to Carlsbad. It certainly didn’t get any better for Clovis High’s girls on Friday night. A trio of 3-pointers kept the Lady Wildcats in some shouting distance of Class 5A No. 2 Hobbs, but they got only two field goals and two free throws after that in a 59-15 District 4-5A loss to the Lady Eagles. The Lady Cats (18-7, 1-4 district) have played a number of quality teams competitively this season. Not Hobbs, though, which won the two regular-season matchups by a combi...
