There was a time – that being most of the spring and summer – when this Thursday Night Special between Texas Tech and TCU looked like it might carry some serious weight. It was a game that likely would have serious implications at the top of the Big 12 standings. The national finalist with a 12-2 record of a year ago against a team that won the Texas Bowl and finished 8-5. Then something wild happened. The season started. In an early game on the first Saturday of the season, T...
LUBBOCK – Eastern New Mexico University senior Shacie Marr earned her fifth consecutive trip to the short-round and led everybody in women’s competition with 115 points in a rodeo hosted from Thursday through Saturday by Texas Tech.

Clovis High's girls didn't exactly blow lowly Roswell High off the pitch in Thursday's District 4-5A soccer finale, but in the end they did what was needed. Now it's wait-and-see time for the Lady Wildcats, who will find out today if they qualify for the 12-team Class 5A New Mexico Activities Association state playoffs. Senior midfielder Aspen Ulibarri notched a pair of goals and senior goalkeeper Aja Gonzales registered her 10th shutout of the campaign as CHS turned back the...
LOVINGTON – Portales High's volleyball team got back on the winning track Thursday night, handing Lovington a 25-21, 25-19, 25-12 spanking in District 4-4A action. Lady Rams coach Bailey Greenwalt said her squad, coming off a tough Tuesday loss at the Ram Athletic Center to Artesia, had some trouble generating energy against the Lady Wildcats (4-15, 0-2 district). "It wasn't anything unusually good," she said. "The last game is more the way we want to play." Senior outside h...
MELROSE – Melrose made short work of another opponent on Friday night. The Buffaloes' reward for that is a rematch against a major rival in this week's 8-man playoffs. The top-ranked Buffs (10-1) laid a 40-spot on eighth-seeded and District 3 rival Tatum in the opening stanza and went on to blitz the Coyotes 56-6 in a game stopped early in the third canto on the 50-point rule. Melrose, which blanked district rival and second-ranked Fort Sumner 50-0 a week earlier at home, d...

Down by 17 points midway through the third quarter, Clovis High's football team rallied to pull one out of the fire on Friday night and, in the process, earned a somewhat surprising trip to the Class 6A playoffs. Seniors Jett Stone and Kash Roberts each carried 30 times, combining for more than 300 yards rushing and all five touchdowns, as the Wildcats stunned fourth-ranked Los Lunas 30-29 at Leon Williams Stadium, taking the District 5-6A championship and thus automatically...
LOVINGTON – A high-scoring shootout in the first half became a defensive slugfest the rest of the way as Lovington handed top-ranked Portales High its first loss of the season 29-21 on Friday night in a battle for the District 4-4A championship. Both teams did all their scoring in the first half before the defenses took over. “They’re a good football team,” Rams coach Jaime Ramirez said of the Wildcats (7-3, 3-0 district), ranked third in Class 4A by MaxPreps. “We just made too many mistakes to beat a good team like that...
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Eastern New Mexico University’s football team was in serious need of a win on Thursday night, and overmatched Lincoln University proved to be the tonic. ENMU scored five touchdowns in the opening period and coasted to a 62-17 victory over the winless Blue Tigers, making the 16-hour or so bus ride back from Missouri’s capital city a bit more tolerable. Greyhounds coach Kelley Lee got virtually everyone into the contest, in which his squad racked up the third-most yards (669) and tied for the seven...

Good news for any of the future opponents on the Texas Tech football schedule who may be struggling or have self-doubt creeping in. The Red Raiders are the perfect tonic for what ails almost any team.

West Virginia, you a little nervous about being picked dead last in the Big 12 in this conference opener? D...
RICHARDSON, Texas – Eastern New Mexico University’s men were chosen eighth out of 16 teams in the Lone Star Conference preseason basketball poll on Monday.

Clovis High’s boys knew they had their work cut out in Saturday’s District 4-5A match against top-ranked Hobbs, but even in defeat the Wildcats came away feeling pretty good about their performance. Senior forward/midfielder Franklin Ferrufino notched a hat trick in the final 11 minutes, and the Eagles (19-0, 5-0 district) needed it to put away the Cats 5-1 at Leon Williams Stadium. Down 2-0 at the half, Clovis junior forward Ihab Mesbah cut the margin in half with his 24th goal of the season about 11 minutes into the sec...
Eastern New Mexico University volleyball team stepped outside Lone Star Conference play on Monday night and snapped its 12-match losing streak with a 25-19, 25-11, 25-17 triumph over winless University of the Southwest (0-11) at Greyhound Arena. It was the Greyhounds' first victory since a 3-0 sweep of the Mustangs in Hobbs on Sept. 18. Senior outside hitters Mikaela Garvin and Halle Sanders had eight kills apiece for the Hounds (9-17). Senior middle blocker Gracelyn Stubbs...
Saturday's Lone Star Conference football game at Greyhound Stadium is proof that dominating time of possession doesn't necessarily result in victory. Eastern New Mexico University posted a 75-48 edge over Texas A&M-Kingsville in plays from scrimmage and held the ball for nearly 37 minutes, but in the end the Javelinas walked away with a 35-14 win to extend the Greyhounds' losing streak to five games. Senior running back Christian Anderson had just eight carries for Kingsville...
ALBUQUERQUE – All five teams from District 2 were chosen for the eight-team 6-man playoffs, which begin on Friday night.

Two other games, also involving area squads, are set for the same time with third-seeded Grady (7-2) welcoming No. 6 Dora (3-6) and fourth seed Elida (5-4) taking on fifth-seeded Mountainair (5-3). The other quarterfinal, sending No. 7 Animas (3-5) to N...
Clovis High’s football team has been down this path before – last year, as a matter of fact. The Wildcats on Friday night will look to secure a spot in the Class 6A playoffs and win a district title in the process when they entertain fourth-ranked Los Lunas at Leon Williams Stadium. It’s the same scenario as last year, except that one was played in Los Lunas and won overwhelmingly by the Tigers 54-0. As was the case last season, both the Cats (4-5) and Tigers (7-2) come into the tilt at 3-0 in District 6-5A play. “If we go o...
ALBUQUERQUE – Clovis High junior Sammy Fuentes posted a time of 17 minutes, 9.24 seconds over five kilometers to place 18th in a field of 154 runners in the Class 5A boys division of Saturday’s Albuquerque Academy cross country race.

MELROSE – At this rate, the upcoming 8-man football playoffs may look more like the Melrose Invitational. Ranked No. 1 in the classification, Melrose had outscored its opponents 456-90 entering Friday's 8-man District 3 showdown against rival and second-ranked Fort Sumner. It was just more of the same, though, as the Buffaloes opened a 30-0 lead midway through the opening stanza and rolled to a 50-0 victory. It was the seventh shutout of the season for the Buffs (9-1, 4-0 d...
LOVINGTON – The Portales High boys soccer team couldn’t pull off a second upset of District 4-4A rival Lovington on Thursday, falling to the Wildcats 3-0. The Rams (2-10-1, 1-3 district) ended a 10-match losing streak in the series with a 3-2 win on Oct. 5 at the PHS pitch, their first win over Lovington since 2017. In this one, the teams were scoreless until late in the first half when Wildcats sophomore Dylan Gallegos found the back of the net. Lovington (10-7-0, 2-2) carried the one-goal lead into halftime. Sophomore def...
Portales High's volleyball team found itself trailing early in each set against Texico on Tuesday night, but each time the Lady Rams responded.

Senior outside hitter Audrey Paden collected 13 kills while sophomore middle hitter Skyler Massey added nine kills , nine digs and a pair of aces for the Lady Rams....
SANTA FE – Things are playing out similarly to how they did last season for Clovis High’s football team. The Wildcats battled their way through a challenging pre-district slate last year, then won their first three contests in District 5-6A play to set up a duel for the district title in the regular-season finale at Los Lunas. That didn’t turn out so well – the Cats were beaten 54-0 by the Tigers. But after Friday’s 34-21 victory over Santa Fe Capital, Clovis (4-5, 3-0) now hosts fifth-ranked Los Lunas (7-2, 3-0) on Friday...
