CLOVIS — Whoever coined the phrase “dirt cheap” clearly didn’t have to replace an infield. Clovis High did twice over, recently updating the infields at both Bell Park for baseball and Wildcat Softball Field over the last two weeks. Athletic Director Dale Fullerton said the original plan was to do the replacements during spring break, but one of the contractors got sick. The fields got the work instead while Clovis teams were on the road. “This should last, they’re telling us, 8-10 years,” Fullerton said. He didn’t recall... Full story
LAWTON, Oklahoma — It was a rough day for Eastern New Mexico's softball team in the Sooner State, as the Hounds dropped both ends of a doubleheader with Cameron — 8-0 in six innings and 6-2 — on Friday at Cameron's McMahon Field. ENMU's struggles were largely due to the stellar pitching of Cameron starters Bethany Hines and Rylee Willmon, who allowed six hits combined, with Hines throwing a two-hit shutout in the opener. Hines' line included 11 strikeouts against just two w...
STEPHENSVILLE, Texas — Eastern New Mexico's baseball team dug itself a hole, one too deep to escape despite a late-inning rally, and fell 9-3 to Tarleton State on the road Friday. Connor Fletcher (4-1) kept Eastern frustrated for the most part, tossing a complete-game four-hitter that included seven strikeouts and two walks. He was hurling a no-hitter until Julian Heredia led off the seventh inning with a double. Offensively, Tarleton scored a run each in the second, fourth a...
CLOVIS — With the juvenile Nathaniel Jouett's mental health needs and how best to address them still in question, the court approved Friday a motion for pre-trial detention on the alleged library shooter following a full day of emotional testimony. 5th Judicial District Judge James Hudson, who will preside over the month-long trial scheduled for next year in Roswell, heard arguments in Curry County for two overlapping and seemingly opposing motions: the first from defense a...

On this date ... 1988: The New Mexico Traffic Safety Bureau (NMTSB) released information speculating that the increase of the state speed limit to 65 mph the previous year may have been responsible for a 50 percent increase in traffic fatalities.

CLOVIS — Threats of violence centered on Clovis High School late Thursday and Friday, with police arresting a 17-year-old male student in connection with a social media post. The series of incidents began at 11:21 p.m. Thursday when police were alerted to a photo on the social media site Snapchat. The photo depicted the student holding what appeared to be a rifle with the captions “F*** CHS I’m going out with a bang” and “don’t go to school tmrw.” Police said they located the juvenile in the photo and interviewed h...
