FARWELL – Two minutes separated Farwell from an impressive season-opening victory on Tuesday night. The Lady Blue took traditional Texas Class 4A power down to the wire, leading by one before the Lady Eagles scored the final eight points for a 48-41 victory. Juniors Jaylee Moss (20) and Dani Woodruff (11) combined for nearly two-thirds of Canyon’s offense. Neither team led by more than five points until the Lady Eagles (2-0) converted four free throws in the closing seconds. Canyon has won at least 20 games in 14 of the pas...
ROSWELL – First-year Portales High volleyball coach Bailey Greenwalt is pretty sure her squad can beat District 4-4A rivals Artesia and Roswell Goddard. It just hasn’t happened yet. Thursday night, the Lady Rams dropped their fourth combined match to the top two teams in 4A, falling to second-ranked Goddard 25-20, 23-25, 25-23. Portales (16-7, 2-4 district), ranked fifth in 4A by MaxPreps, now awaits its seed in today’s announcement of state volleyball brackets by the New Mexico Activities Association. Game 3 was decis...
SILVER CITY – Senior middle blocker/setter Gracelyn Stubbs closed out her Eastern New Mexico University volleyball career with a double-double on Friday night and the Greyhounds pulled out a season-ending 25-22, 25-20, 28-30, 23-25, 15-7 Lone Star Conference victory over Western New Mexico. Stubbs finished with 11 kills and 27 assists for ENMU (11-20, 2-14 LSC), while adding six total blocks (one solo). Senior outside hitter Mikaela Garvin added 19 kills and five total blocks (one solo), sophomore setter Kayla Ison chipped i...
TEXICO – It hasn't been long since the Texico Lady Wolverines last garnered a state volleyball championship – other than, maybe, by their standards. Three years ago, Texico saw a run of six consecutive state titles under then-coach Kristan Scanlan – including four in what was then Class 3A – come to an end. Although they haven't won one since, the Lady Wolverines have reached the finals twice, including last season. This week, they're primed for a run at another title in Clas...

One down. One to go. Eastern New Mexico University's football team captured the first of two season-ending rivalry games on Saturday, rallying past West Texas A&M 35-27 at Greyhound Stadium in the Wagon Wheel game. This week, the Greyhounds wrap up the season at Western New Mexico at noon on Saturday in the Chili Bowl contest. ENMU (5-5, 2-5 LSC) will be seeking a winning season and trying recapture the Chili Bowl trophy, which the Mustangs took home last season with a 38-24...
Coming off a first-round playoff bye, Portales High's football team begins its bid for a Class 4A state championship on Friday when the Rams host District 4-4A member Bernalillo in a 7 p.m. quarterfinal matchup at Greyhound Stadium. On paper, the fourth-seeded Rams (9-1) appear headed for a semifinal clash against top-seeded Bloomfield (10-0), which would also be in Portales. Rams coach Jaime Ramirez says, though, that there's no way he's looking past this week, despite the fact his squad disposed of the Spartans 38-0 just...
CARLSBAD – Clovis High’s girls put five runners in the top 10 on Friday and captured District 4-5A competition at Carlsbad, while the CHS boys finished third. Both Clovis squads will run in Class 5A state competition on Saturday, hosted by Albuquerque High. The 5A boys race is set for 10:50 a.m., with the girls to follow at 11:35 a.m. “We’re going to keep things going,” CHS cross country coach Liz Ledezma said. “Hopefully, we can place in the top six (in both divisions).” The Lady Wildcats, with all nine runners finishing in...
When a football season isn’t fulfilling expectations, there is a certain amount of rationalization and wondering that plays out as the season winds down. To put it another way, it’s the “what if” game. For Texas Tech, there may not be a bigger “what if” than what if quarterback Behren Morton never had to deal with nagging injuries? Where would the Raiders be with a healthy Morton? There was a glimpse of that last Thursday in a 35-28 win over TCU. Morton had not played sinc...
Two area teams remain alive in the New Mexico small-school playoffs, and both will play at home this weekend – against familiar foes. In 8-man, top-seeded Melrose (11-1) faces fellow District 3 member Clayton (7-5) for the championship in a 1 p.m. kickoff. While the surprising Yellowjackets, in just their second season of 8-man, were fourth in the five-team district, they’ve strung together four wins in a row, including road playoff upsets of second-seeded Legacy Academy (28-26) and, on Friday, third-seeded Mesilla Val...
ABILENE, Texas – All of Clovis High's relay teams posted state-qualifying marks in Saturday's season-opening Abilene Invitational swim meet, hosted by Abilene High. The Wildcats and Lady Wildcats earned an additional 11 state-qualifying marks from seven swimmers in the 12-team meet. The CHS girls notched the team championship with 359 points to 259 for Andrews, while the boys were second with 251 points to 331 for Andrews. "The kids were fantastic," said Vincent de Maio, w...
It’s basketball time at Eastern New Mexico University. ENMU men’s and women’s squads open the 2023-24 campaign at home this weekend, taking on Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference members Fort Lewis and New Mexico Highlands at Greyhound Arena in the South Central Region crossover event. Four games are scheduled each day, with ENMU’s women playing at 2:30 p.m. and the men at 7:30 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday. The women face Fort Lewis on Friday and Highlands on Saturday while the men’s get Highlands first and then Fort Lewi...
HOBBS – After falling a game short of a postseason berth in 2022, Clovis High’s football team took the next step through District 5-6A this season and earned a postseason berth, capped by a come-from-behind, 30-29 win over Los Lunas in the regular-season finale. Rival Hobbs, though, made sure it would be a short stay for the Wildcats on Friday night. Leading 8-0, the Eagles scored three touchdowns in the final seven minutes of the second quarter and handed the Cats a 50-13 shellacking in a Class 6A first-round matchup. Hob...

SANTA FE – Santa Fe High got a hat trick from senior defender Elsa Smith on Tuesday and posted a 5-1 victory over Clovis High in a Class 5A girls’ first-round state soccer match. The Lady Demons (18-3-1), ranked sixth in 5A by MaxPreps but seeded fifth in the tournament, advanced to Friday’s quarterfinals where they dropped a 3-0 decision to fourth-seeded Eldorado (16-4). Senior midfielder Aspen Ulibarri had the Lady Wildcats’ only tally, notching her team-leading 15th goal of the campaign. The Lady Demons outshot Clovis...
Clovis High's volleyball team put together one of its best runs of the season during Game 2 of Thursday's District 4-5A match against rival Hobbs at Rock Staubus Gym. Despite that, it took a couple of plays at the end to pull out a two-point win. The Lady Eagles (11-11, 4-1 district) rebounded over the final two sets to complete a 25-17, 25-27, 25-20, 25-12 victory to stay tied for the district lead with Roswell High (13-9, 4-1), which dispatched Carlsbad (6-15, 0-5) on...
As Wednesday’s Lone Star Conference and regular-season finale was playing out at Greyhound Stadium, the Eastern New Mexico University men’s soccer squad went from knowing a win against Texas-Tyler could possibly get the Greyhounds a first-round home match in the six-team Lone Star Conference tournament to realizing they’d need to win just to make it in. A tie might have also gotten them in, but in the end the 1-1 draw with the Patriots wasn’t quite enough. In a league which featured 15 ties in 45 matches, the Hounds (4-7-6,...
ARTESIA – Portales High's volleyball team came into the week ranked No. 4 in Class 4A by MaxPreps. The Lady Rams had a tall order, though, facing second-ranked Roswell Goddard and No. 1 Artesia in District 4-4A clashes and going down in three sets in both matches, including a 25-22, 25-22, 25-9 decision at Artesia on Thursday. The two setbacks marked the first time PHS (15-6, 1-3) has been swept all season. First-year Lady Rams coach Bailey Greenwalt said her squad made s...
MELROSE – It's not like Melrose expected to run roughshod over Fort Sumner on Friday night, as the Buffaloes had done two weeks earlier in District 6-1A play. In fact, Friday's 8-man semifinal matchup was far more competitive for far longer. In the end, though, the top-ranked Buffaloes simply had too much firepower and pulled away to a 50-14 win over the Foxes. Now the Buffs (11-1) are getting set to meet another district rival in Saturday's 1 p.m. title tilt at Melrose in s...
STINNETT, Texas – Farwell erupted for four touchdowns in the second quarter and the Steers went on to blank West Texas 56-0 on Friday night in a District 1-2A Division I game. Junior Jonathan Armstrong and senior Corey Stancell each threw for two scores for Farwell (7-2, 3-1 district), which opened a 34-0 halftime advantage. Senior Jackson Wilbourn and junior Ryder McElroy each caught at TD pass from both Armstrong and Stancell. In addition, Stancell had a pair of scoring runs and a pick-6 while Armstrong added, while A...
While the Eastern New Mexico University football team isn’t looking at a postseason berth this year, the Greyhounds still have things to play for in the final two weeks. ENMU closes the season with a pair of rivalry games, including Saturday’s noon home finale against West Texas A&M at Greyhound Stadium. And, with wins over the Buffaloes and at Western New Mexico on Nov. 11, the Hounds (4-5, 1-5 LSC) could post their first winning season since 2019. “We’ve got a lot to play for,” ENMU coach Kelley Lee said Monday. “We can h...
For the first time since 2000, the Professional Armed Forces World Championship Rodeo will be held in Clovis. Close to 300 competitors are expected to participate in the rodeo at the Curry County Events Center from Thursday through Saturday. Events Center General Manager K.C. Messick said he is excited about this rodeo making its way back to the place it all started. “The organization was founded in 2000 and they did the very first PAFRA rodeo here and then they left,” Messick said. “They went to Texas, Oklahoma, even ended u...
After a pulsating late win over Los Lunas on Friday night at Leon Williams Stadium gave Clovis High's football team the District 5-6A championship, the Wildcats found out on Sunday that they'll face a most familiar foe in Friday's opening round of the 12-team Class 6A playoffs. Drawing the No. 9 seed in the brackets, the Cats (5-5) visit eighth-seeded Hobbs (5-5) in a 7 p.m. start. The winner of that one gets a date next weekend against top-seeded Rio Rancho Cleveland (7-3)....
ALBUQUERQUE – The Clovis High girls soccer team slipped into the Class 5A state tournament as the No. 12 seed,, and the Lady Wildcats are slated for a 5 p.m. first-round match on Friday at fifth-seeded Santa Fe High. Clovis (13-5-1) is in the tournament for the third consecutive season. The Lady Cats lost at Volcano Vista 4-1 in 2021, while last year they were edged by La Cueva 1-0 at Leon Williams Stadium. The Lady Demons (17-2-1) captured the Class 5A District 5 title. They’ve won five in a row since a 3-2, dou...
