Members of the community are being asked to purchase engraved bricks and bench plaques, which will be on display at the park for years to come. "We are just really excited for the project and we're really happy to be able to include the public into it," Clovis MainStreet Executive Director Lisa Pellegrino-Spear said. For the bench p...
CLOVIS — The Clovis High football team knew exactly what it was facing in Lubbock Cooper Friday night — a solid Texas program, a team that does everything well most of the time. Cooper did a lot well a lot of the time Friday, getting its offense churning right away and displaying a defense that didn’t allow Clovis to do much. The result was a 40-2 victory for the Pirates on a cold, blustery Homecoming night at Leon Williams Stadium. “They got it rolling early on offense...
PORTALES — The Rams find themselves at a crossroads, during this week’s bye week — and beyond.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — KK Payne had 13 kills, and St. Mary’s gave Eastern New Mexico a rough start to its four-game road swing with a 25-20, 25-18, 25-22 sweep Friday afternoon in non-conference play. The Greyhounds resume Lone Star Conference action today at 11 a.m. at Texas A&M-Kingsville. They had entered Friday’s match with three straight victories and two straight via sweep. Eastern New Mexico (7-9) battled throughout the afternoon match, but the host Rattlers ended each...
Midwestern State offers two-pronged motivation for the Eastern New Mexico football team, posing both an immediate challenge and conjuring up bitter memories of recent history. First, the history part. Eastern hosted Midwestern last November with a chance to win the Lone Star Conference and advance to the NCAA Division II playoffs. Midwestern, though, was the team to emerge with both prizes, and that has been lodged firmly in the Greyhounds’ craw for over 10 months. Then t...

New Mexico lawmakers are looking at ways to extend the school year for students in the Land of Enchantment by 10 days or more, according to a report from The Associated Press. Officials at eastern New Mexico’s two largest school districts expressed different feelings about the idea when they talked to The News on Friday. Clovis Municipal Schools Superintendent Jody Balch said he had no issues with extending the school year, provided the Legislature finds a way to account for the salary increases that would be required for sch...
