SILVER CITY — In a battle between Eastern New Mexico’s prolific rush attack and Western New Mexico’s vaunted passing attack, it was a battle of turnovers and a little bit of special teams that helped the Greyhounds notch a 37-34 road victory Saturday afternoon at Ben Altamirano Field. Tayshaun Gary carried 13 times for 113 yards and Kamal Cass went 24 times for 91 yards and two scores as the Greyhounds (2-0, 1-0) claimed the Lone Star Conference opener for both teams. The Greyhounds took advantage of five Mustang turno...

PORTALES — In a game that featured plenty of fireworks, the Artesia High girls soccer team came out victorious, 3-0 over Portales on Saturday afternoon. Artesia's Elisa Cardenas recorded a hat trick in the second-half, which was overshadowed by two yellow cards, one fight and some fans coming out onto the field following the fight. "I don't mind if you're gonna call some of the calls (the officials) made, but call it both ways," Portales coach Ruben Tellez said of the i...
LOVINGTON — Clovis coach Greg Trujillo said his Wildcats dominated the second half against 5A Lovington Saturday, but had nothing to show for it in a scoreless 40 minutes. “The second half, it was total dominance,” Trujillo said. “We had a chance to score maybe six more, but we were off the mark.
