Early on, Eastern New Mexico University's men have put themselves in the heart of the Lone Star Conference soccer race. Wednesday night, the Greyhounds had a chance to take a big step forward. Instead, they settled for a smaller step. ENMU played Dallas Baptist to a 2-2 standoff at Greyhound Stadium, keeping the Hounds (4-5-4, 2-1-2 LSC) third in the 10-team conference. With the tie, ENMU now stands 9-1-1 all-time against the Patriots. Second-year coach Brandon Misuraca hoped...
CARLSBAD – Clovis High's girls were unable to overcome a two-goal deficit in the second half on Tuesday night and the Lady Wildcats dropped a 3-2 decision to Carlsbad in District 4-5A soccer. Already trailing Hobbs by a game in the district, the Lady Cats (12-4-1, 2-2 district) fell into a tie for second place with the Cavegirls (11-7-0, 2-2) with two matches remaining in the regular season. After senior midfielder Aspen Ulibarri put Clovis in front in the 25th minute, junior...
HOBBS – Clovis High’s volleyball team came up short in its bid for a District 4-5A road sweep this week as Hobbs rallied for a 22-25, 25-17, 25-18, 25-12 victory on Thursday night. The Lady Cats (11-8, 1-1 district), who opened their 4-5A slate with a four-set victory at Carlsbad two nights earlier, jumped on Hobbs (8-11, 1-1) early in Thursday’s match and claimed the opening set. Games 2 and 3 were close for a while, but the Lady Eagles pulled away late in both before dominating the final set. “We need to do a better...
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...

The reasons are many and varied over the years why Texas Tech is where it is in the Big 12 football pecking order and why Kansas State is at the elevated plane it is. To fully delve into every reason the Wildcats have won eight in a row and 12 out of 13 over the Red Raiders would consume more pages than a James Michener novel. Let’s boil it down to two plays from Saturday’s 38-21 defeat of Tech that was textbook in how the games go in this lopsided series. Two plays, on the...
LOGAN – For the second week in a row, Melrose put a 40-spot up in the first quarter against an 8-man District 3 opponent and then took the game into cruise control. The Buffaloes, ranked No. 1 in eight-man, coasted to a 54-0 win over Logan in a battle for the top spot in the district race. The game ended early in the third quarter on the 50-point lead rule. Junior quarterback Josiah Roybal tossed three touchdown passes while the Buffs (8-1, 3-0 district) scored a pair of defensive touchdowns in the opening stanza to q...
LAS VEGAS, N.M. – Las Vegas Robertson took Portales High to the limit, but the Lady Rams pulled out a 25-22, 25-18, 16-25, 23-25, 16-14 victory over the Lady Cardinals on Saturday. Sophomore middle hitter Skyler Massey delivered a personal-best 19 kills to go with three aces while senior outside hitter Audrey Paden posted a double-double with 11 kills and 16 digs for PHS (13-3). Paden also had a team-high five aces. The Lady Rams appeared on their way to a relatively easy win after taking the first two sets, but Robertson (...
That elusive first Lone Star Conference win is proving hard to come by for Eastern New Mexico University's volleyball team, but the Greyhounds are still hanging with them. Angelo State, locked in a five-team battle for the top of the LSC standings, had its hands full for about 1 ½ sets before pulling away to a 25-23, 25-17, 25-12 win over ENMU on Saturday at Greyhound Arena. Sophomore outside hitter Elsa Lamphere paced a balanced attack for Angelo (17-3, 7-1 LSC) with...
If there were any chance Portales High’s football team would be looking ahead to next week’s District 4-4A and regular-season finale at Lovington, Rams coach Jaime Ramirez is quick to put the kibosh on it. “Not for me,” Ramirez said when asked about the possibility. “We want to stay focused on one game at a time.” So far, that philosophy has worked well for PHS (8-0, 1-0 district), which has outscored its foes by an average of more than 40 points a game. Friday night, PHS – coming off five home outings and a bye over the last...
MIDLAND, Texas – Eastern New Mexico University’s football team got off to an impressive start in Saturday’s Lone Star Conference matchup against Texas-Permian Basin. In the end, though, the Falcons were much more impressive. Permian Basin set school records for rushing yards (458) and total offense (677) and used a 31-0 scoring run to pull away to a 52-29 victory, staying right behind Central Washington in the league race while sending the Greyhounds (3-4, 1-4 LSC) to their fourth consecutive loss. “The first half was all...

ELIDA – Sophomore Cason Norman scored three touchdowns, including a 60-yard kickoff return in the fourth quarter, to help Elida get past Roosevelt County rival Floyd 46-24 on Friday in 6-man District 2 action. Norman tallied on a pair of 15-yard first-quarter runs as the Tigers (5-3, 2-2 district) opened a 26-0 lead late in the half against the Broncos (2-5, 0-4). Sophomore Hayden Rubio threw touchdown passes of 25 yards to sophomore Taten Norman and 3 yards to senior T...
ROSWELL – Clovis High's soccer girls overcame an early deficit to nip Roswell High 2-1 on Tuesday in a District 4-5A matchup. With the win, the Lady Wildcats (12-3-1, 2-1 district) maintained their second-place standing in the district behind Hobbs (9-6-2, 3-0). Junior forward Ava Crain scored the deciding goal about 14 minutes into the second half on an assist from junior forward/midfielder Natalie Griego. The Lady Coyotes (1-12-3, 0-3), outscored 32-7 for the season c...
Saddled with a five-match losing streak, Clovis High's volleyball team looked as if that might be about to be extended on Thursday night. The Lady Wildcats bailed out the first two sets, then finally pulled away late in Game 3 for a 25-23, 25-23, 25-16 victory over Lovington at Rock Staubus Gym. Senior outside hitter Kailyn Jefferson delivered 13 kills for the Lady Wildcats (10-7) while senior middle hitter Elizabeth Warwick came alive in the third set and finished with seven...
After getting swept in their first eight Lone Star Conference matchups this season, Eastern New Mexico University’s volleyball team came painfully close to breaking through on Friday night. Texas-Permian Basin, though, finally survived after ENMU erased three match points as the Falcons posted a 30-28, 23-25, 25-16, 24-26, 15-13 victory in a hard-fought contest lasting just over 2 ½ hours at Greyhound Arena. Three players had 12 kills for the Falcons (13-5, 4-3 LSC), including junior outside hitter Aaliyah Gray, who also co...
It's eight games into Portales High's football season, and so far it hasn't seemed to make much difference who's on the other side of the field. Once again, the Rams ran roughshod over an opponent in dispatching Albuquerque Academy 54-0 in the District 4-4A opener for both squads on Friday night at Greyhound Stadium. Junior quarterback Paxton Culpepper threw a personal-best six touchdown passes – to four different receivers – before running one in himself. Then, on the ensuing...
The question is not, what if this offensive game plan had been in place at the start of the season? Those are losses under the bridge. The question is, can this balanced Texas Tech offense and solid defense lead to a turnaround season? The plan that was on display the week before – a 21-point win over Houston – was front and center again on Saturday in a 39-14 win at Baylor. Pound the football with Tahj Brooks, and use the threat of a new-found run game to pass less fre...
FRIONA – The Portales High volleyball team stepped across the state line to challenge itself on Saturday, coming away with a split to see its seven-match winning streak come to an end. In the opener, the Lady Rams (12-3) whacked overmatched Amarillo Highland Park 25-16, 25-16, 25-14 before host Friona handed them a 25-22, 23-25, 25-22, 25-12 setback. “Friona has a really good team,” PHS coach Bailey Greenwalt said. “They have five really good hitters, so it was good for us to play them. There’s a lot to learn from that loss...
The score may have been close for a long time, but it was clear the Hobbs Lady Eagles were in the catbird seat most of the way in Saturday’s District 4-5A girls soccer match against Clovis High at Leon Williams. Junior forward/midfielder Brianna Baker converted a tough-angle shot late in the first half, and senior forward Hannah Davila tacked on two late tallies for a 3-0 victory over CHS. Hobbs (8-6-2, 2-0 district) outshot the Lady Cats 9-2 on goal and had a 4-1 edge in corner kicks. Most of the contest was played in C...
ELIDA – The Elida Tigers got a touchdown apiece from four players on Friday and turned back Roosevelt County and 6-man District 2 rival Dora 28-18. Sophomore Cason Norman scored on a 17-yard run and senior Klayton Nixon returned a kickoff 50 yards for a touchdown to take the Tigers (4-3, 1-2 district) to a 14-6 lead at the quarter. Senior Mikael Mulloy caught a 14-yard pass from sophomore Hayden Rubio in the third frame, then senior Seth Jimenez iced the game on a 2-yard TD r...
After a week off to help heal some bruises, Portales High’s football team is ready to take on the District 4-4A portion of its schedule. “It definitely allowed us to get healed up,” Rams coach Jaime Ramirez said of the break. If rankings mean anything – and sometimes they’re tenuous at best at the prep level – it should be a challenging stretch. All four district teams had last weekend off, and all are ranked in the top seven in Class 4A by MaxPreps. The Rams (7-0), now third behind Bloomfield (7-0) and district rival Lovin...
Reserves led the way on Saturday night as junior forward Nick Huenig's hat trick, Eastern New Mexico University's first in eight years, helped the Greyhounds upend 16th-ranked St. Mary's 4-2 in Lone Star Conference men's soccer action at Greyhound Stadium. Huenig, from Lichtenberg, Germany, authored just the fifth hat trick in the 20-year history of the program and first since Ryan McManus accomplished the feat against Southern Nazarene on Halloween 2015 at Bethany, Okla. It...
ELLENSBURG, Wash. – Eastern New Mexico University’s football team went toe-to-toe with Central Washington on Saturday night. For the third week in a row, however, the Greyhounds came up short. CWU ran off the final six-plus minutes of the game and held off ENMU 38-35 in Lone Star Conference play, keeping the Wildcats (4-2, 4-0 LSC) in the conference lead by one-half game over the Hounds’ next opponent, Texas-Permian Basin (5-1, 3-0). ENMU (3-3, 1-3) has dropped its last three contests by a grand total of 15 points. “It w...
