CLOVIS — Curry County Commissioner Chet Spear began Friday’s commission meeting by addressing the two absences on the dais. Ben McDaniel, he said, was out of town on vacation. After a long pause, Spear reported Commissioner Angelina Baca was “... not here.” Spear said later no one on the commission knew where Baca might be. Asked about Baca’s absence after the meeting, County Manager Lance Pyle said he had not heard from her. Reached by phone after the meeting on Friday, Baca told The News that she missed the meeting b... Full story
LUBBOCK — Say this for the Clovis High football team — the Wildcats never gave up Friday when down by a bunch against Monterey at Lubbock’s Lowrey Field. Unfortunately, the ’Cats were in never-give-up mode because they gave up a three-touchdown lead before halftime. And though they clawed back, even made it a little interesting in the fourth, the Wildcats fell to Monterey 34-21 and endured their second straight loss, dropping to 2-2 on the season. “The good thing about it...
PORTALES — A Greyhound football team that gained national recognition last year for nursing a lead and keeping the ball out of the other team’s hands finds itself at 0-2, and so far no lead to nurse in 120 minutes of forgettable action. Eastern New Mexico will now welcome ... No. 1-ranked, defending national champion Texas A&M-Commerce. Kicked while they’re down, or a chance to get up? Second-year ENMU coach Kelley Lee is preaching the opportunity for the latter. “You can go t...
LUBBOCK — Senior Mercy Rotich crossed the finish line in second place, helping lift Eastern New Mexico’s women to a sixth-place finish in Friday’s Texas Tech Open. Meet host Texas Tech took both the men’s and women’s competition, with the men topping South Plains 33-49 and the women easily besting Wayland Baptist 48-84 at the Lubbock Christian University golf course. Eastern’s men finished seventh overall. Rotich finished at 18:04.7, a few seconds behind winner Gladys Jama...
ALBUQUERQUE — The Clovis High girls soccer team entered Friday with an 8-0 mark, including a 2-0 mark in games decided by eight goals or more. Make that 8-1 and 2-1. Tatyanah Wiley scored the first goal in what would eventually be a hat trick three minutes in, and the Bulldogs yanked the high-flying Wildcats back down to earth with a 9-1 rout Friday afternoon. Zaria Katesigwa also scored twice for Albuquerque High (4-2), which outshot Clovis 14-7 and made the most of those opp...
ROSWELL — Friday’s night game at Goddard can be chalked up as a learning experience for Portales football. However, that learning experience meant getting schooled by the 5A Rockets, in a 28-0 defeat. “I thought our defense played well all night long, but we kept giving up field position the entire time,” Rams coach Jaime Ramirez said. “We just couldn’t get anything going on offense. We would have a really nice play, and then we’d commit a holding penalty. “The defense...
PORTALES - With their backs against the wall, Eastern New Mexico volleyball was in a tough spot. A rough opening set and a second set that got away from the Hounds, made it appear as if ENMU was on its way to being swept in its home-opener against Angelo State on Friday night. However, looks can be deceiving. Even after losing their team co-captain and one of their top players, Sarah Tuioti-Mariner, in the second set, the Greyhounds found a way to step up and keep hope alive....
PORTALES — Morgan Medina scored late in the first half, and Chloe Hull made it stand up with a shutout as East Central scored a 2-0 nonconference win over Eastern New Mexico Thursday night at Greyhound Stadium. Jocelyn Caracheo scored an insurance goal early in the second half for the Tigers (2-3), who won despite getting outshot 15-7 on the evening. Anahi Hernandez and Samantha Fabela each had three shots for Eastern (1-2-1). Taylor Jackson and Kirsten Lane alternated the two halves at goal, with each allowing one goal a...
CLOVIS - Curry County commissioners on Friday unanimously voted to impose the 2018 property tax rates - mostly flat compared to a year ago - during a 22-minute meeting. Assessor Candace Morrison said the rates are set by the state's Department of Finance and Administration based on a number of different factors. The majority of districts saw an increase less than 1 percent, while non-residential properties outside the Clovis city limits actually saw a 0.145 percent decrease...
