1972: The second alumni game of the Eastern New Mexico University Greyhound basketball team was coming up, and a number of locals who had once suited up in the green and silver had pledged to attend.
Jim Guymon and Dale Severson, members of the 1969 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics championship team, were expected to participate, as well as Jimmy Joe Robinson and Bill Griggs of Clovis, Julian Guerra and Fred Hensley of Portales, and Dale Saxton of Lovington.
The Greyhound men were coached by Buddy Ball.
