DEXTER — Portales High softball coach Robbie Crowley knew her squad might be up against it, missing its top two pitchers. That wasn’t so much the problem, though.

With freshman Madi Purcell making the start in the circle, PHS (7-6) committed five errors in the contest. On top of that, the Lady Rams were no-hit by Lady Demons pitcher Bryana Munoz.

It’s been so long,” she said. “I’m losing my breath right now — no...

He said his mother started teaching him the guitar when he was 10 years old. By the time he reached age 14, he began playing the bass at church. London entered college on Sept. 11, 2001, and just over a year later he was married and on his way to basic training at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. Ten years later...

Everyone has a story. I met Bobby, 69, last weekend at my niece’s house in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite. He had recently started spending time with another family member, whom he met at a nearby dollar store. Bobby lived in Lubbock as a child and graduated at 19 from all-black Dunbar High School in 1967. During school the slender kid delivered newspapers at night and “only heard racist comments in certain parts of town.” From 1967-76 he worked in maintenance at Texas Tech. In...
I’ve heard it said before, when you name a pet you should close your eyes and envision standing on your front porch hollering that name at the top of your lungs as all your neighbors stop what they’re doing and look to see who is calling their dog. I’ve got to say I’ve named and known a lot of pets that didn’t go through that proper vetting. Right now I’ve got pets that were named pretty carefully and I don’t mind stepping out either door and hollering for them. Ranger was na...
PORTALES — It took all of five pitches to send Cameron on its way to completing a Lone Star Conference softball series sweep of Eastern New Mexico University on Saturday.

ENMU freshman Kaylee Rogers (14-15) survived bases-loaded jams in each of the first two innings, got the first two Aggies hitters in the fourth on a flyout and a strikeout, then gave up a single to Kaytlyn Kizarr and a w...
The Eastern New Mexico Water Utility Authority, and its predecessors, have been trying for decades to build a water pipeline from Ute Lake to the Clovis-Portales area. Millions of dollars have already been spent, millions more are needed, construction is underway in some areas and will be getting started soon in others. Pipeline proponents are determined nothing will stop them. That includes residents of Quay County whose livelihoods depend on the water levels at Ute Lake and it includes any individuals whose properties are n...
CLOVIS — Most of her last minutes on earth were spent laughing and joking with her 6-year-old son Diego as they ran along the trail that Sunday morning at the Goodwin Lake Park. That’s not surprising; anybody who knew Ariel Ulibarri knew her world revolved around her children. She participated in crazy hair day with her kids at school. They did arts and crafts together at home. She went to their school for pickle day. She went to their school for popcorn day. She took her lun...
There are plenty of folks around who got their yardwork, garage cleaning, chores, honey-do lists, etc. out of the way already. That was done with the sole intention of clearing their schedules for a little TV time today. After all, the world’s most famous golf tournament wraps up late this afternoon.
