I remember a time in grade school when we marked both the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We did it on their actual birthdays and we didn’t get a day off. We were in school learning about each of them and about how they influenced the growth of our nation and its ideals. One of the things I should have been learning, and maybe I did or maybe it was picked up much later on the History Channel, was that Washington was the only president elected u...
Ashley Maestas is the Youth Services Librarian for the Clovis-Carver Public Library. But for the many local children and toddlers who frequent her weekly storytime she is known simply as, "Miss Ashley." Born and raised in Las Cruces, N.M., Maestas has been in Clovis for five years, going on six. She, her husband, Tim, and their two daughters came to this area to be closer to her in-laws. Maestas describes herself as an avid reader, who enjoys books of many genres and in any...
The snapshot of Tim McCarver penetrating our mind when we heard of his death at the age of 81 Thursday afternoon, was first meeting him while he was standing on the press level of Shea Stadium squinting out at the sun while spitting tobacco juice into a Styrofoam coffee cup. We listened to that Memphis twang reach a higher pitch when a point needed to be made. Between spits, Tim McCarver had a lot to say. It was always better to concentrate on his words and not interrupt. It...
DALLAS - Back in the day when Jerry Jones picked up on Jimmy Johnson's trick of trading out of the first round, and suffered the consequences as a result, it was easy to poke fun at Cowboys drafts. Not so much anymore. Especially in the first round. Of the organization's last dozen first-rounders, nine have made at least one Pro Bowl, and Tyler Smith, last year's No. 1, is trending the same direction. But just because Will McClay has kept the lid on the war room the last...
LOVINGTON – Clovis High’s tennis teams kicked off the 2023 campaign with a split on Tuesday, the boys edging Lovington 5-4 while the girls absorbed a 7-2 setback. The Wildcats went 4-2 in singles, with all the matches decided in straight sets except for a 7-5, 1-6, 6-2 victory for Lovington sophomore Rey Salcido over junior Drex Carter at No. 4. Meantime, the teams split three-setters at Nos. 1 and 2 doubles, while Carter and fellow junior Christopher Oaks came away with a 6-0, 6-4 win at No. 3 over sophomores Eduardo Sig...
On this date ... 1946: Don Holderman of Portales was a prisoner of war but he did not die because of the hard labor forced upon him, Holderman was glad to report. Holderman’s name was among those listed as killed as war trials got under way in Tokyo. “Holderman was too busy getting ready to marry Miss Maxine Watkins of Portales ... to be concerned over the mistake,” the Clovis News-Journal reported. 1956: Items recently reported stolen to Clovis police included a pair of fe...
Evelon Grace was the fastest runner in my elementary-school class. Not just the fastest girl. When Billy Dan Vinson organized races at recess – his mom provided candy for prizes – Evelon won most of the time. I picked up a couple of jaw breakers myself – third place was rewarded, too -- and it was a lot of fun. I also had youthful athletic success in my cousins’ back yard and on the road in front of their house. We played two-on-two softball games in the yard. Just one bas...
LAS CRUCES — The rebuild begins. New Mexico State University officials at a news conference Wednesday said the once-proud men’s basketball program has become “infected” and that additional student-athletes and coaches could face discipline in connection with a hazing scandal that prompted university officials to cancel the remainder of the season and fire the first-year head coach. NMSU Chancellor Dan Arvizu said the university fired coach Greg Heiar for cause and did not enter a settlement with him. Heiar was under contrac...
DORA – Dora’s basketball teams wrapped up perfect runs through District 4-1A on Thursday night, with the boys defeating Elida 72-59 while the girls bested the Lady Tigers 52-11. In the boys game, the Coyotes (19-6, 6-0) gradually built their lead, outscoring the Tigers 27-23 in the final stanza to put the game away. Senior Steven Masini netted a personal-best 41 points for Dora while senior Kegan Rodriguez was next in line with nine points. For Elida (9-13, 3-2), junior Seth Jimenez finished with 22 points and senior Jos...
FARWELL – Farwell’s boys wrapped up a perfect run through District 3-2A on Monday, but not without a bit of a fight from rival Bovina. The Steers (25-4, 10-0 district), who clinched the 3-2A title with a win at Panhandle four nights earlier, took a hard-fought 57-51 victory from the Mustangs in the regular-season finale for both squads, who are now headed to the Class 2A postseason. Junior Corey Stancell scored 17 points and seniors Walker Williams and Adrian Nunez added 13 apiece for Farwell, which extended its winning str...
AMARILLO – Farwell pulled away with a solid fourth quarter to beat Wellington 59-44 on Friday night in a Texas Class 2A area round playoff game at Caprock H.S. The Lady Blue (29-5) advanced to a regional semifinal game set for 6 p.m. (CST) on Tuesday against Gruver at Amarillo High. Sophomore Bella Jaime tallied 13 points, senior Charlie Trimble 12 and sophomore Makylee Baldwin 10 for the Lady Blue, which erased a four-point halftime deficit and won going away by outscoring Wellington 17-6 in the final stanza. All told, n...
MELROSE – Melrose’s girls are primed for another state tournament run in Class 1A. This time, the top-ranked Lady Buffs are determined to finish the deal. They were tested quite severely by District 6-1A rival Fort Sumner on Wednesday night, but in the end made enough plays to nail down a 49-41 victory in a makeup of last week’s postponement. In the boys’ contest, Fort Sumner, also sporting a No. 1 ranking in 1A, pulled away to a 73-48 win. With senior standout Isabelle Sena having a rough night (five points, one field g...
PORTALES – Neither Portales High nor Lovington went to the bench much in Friday's District 4-4A matchup at the Ram Athletic Center, for different reasons. Lovington mainly used with six players by choice. Meantime, earlier season-ending injuries to seniors Alivia Gonzales and Cyria Aguirre and an injury on Tuesday to sophomore guard Angel Ornelas left the Lady Rams with just seven fulltime varsity players. In the end, the Wildcats erased an eight-point halftime deficit with a...
SAN ANTONIO – Eastern New Mexico University’s softball team got off to an impressive start in Lone Star Conference play on Friday. The Greyhounds swept 19th-ranked St. Mary’s 3-2 and 5-3 to begin a three-game series, rallying for five runs in the top of the seventh in Game 2. Meantime, the opener went 10 innings and senior right-hander Brook Leger improved to 7-0 with a complete-game, 193-pitch outing. St. Mary’s senior righty Catalina Cavazos (5-2) was probably a little fatigued as well. She also threw all 10 frames with a...
OKLAHOMA CITY – Junior guard Greg Johnson scored 20 points and Eastern New Mexico University’s men pulled away with a strong second half to beat Oklahoma Christian 79-58 in Lone Star Conference play on Thursday night. With the win, the Greyhounds (16-9, 11-8 LSC) put themselves in position to clinch a spot in the upcoming eight-team LSC postseason tournament with a victory on Saturday at Arkansas-Fort Smith. They were tied for the No. 6 spot with St. Mary’s (14-10, 11-8), although the Rattlers hold the head-to-head tiebr...
ROSWELL – Clovis High’s girls didn’t exactly win with style points on Friday night, but the Lady Wildcats did secure a first-round home game in this week’s District 4-5A tournament. Senior guard Zarai Lewis scored 14 points, and the Lady Cats opened a 12-3 lead at the quarter en route to a 40-25 victory over Roswell High at Rock Staubus Gym. They will host the Lady Coyotes (9-17, 0-6 district) in a 6 p.m. tilt on Tuesday at The Rock. Hobbs routed Carlsbad 59-28 on Friday, leaving those teams tied for the district regular...
PORTALES – Portales High's boys wasted little time making life uncomfortable for Lovington on Friday night. Playing a box-and-one defense designed to contain Wildcats junior guard Julian Arroyo, the Rams led from the get-go and posted a 70-61 District 4-4A victory at the Ram Athletic Center in the regular-season finale for both teams. Portales (16-10, 3-3 district) takes the No. 2 seed into this week's district tourney and will host either Lovington (12-12, 1-5) or Roswell G...
