PORTALES - It's amazing what a little bit of time at home, and a pair of blowouts, can do to your district chances. Just a week ago, the Portales boys basketball team was fighting for third place in District 4-4A.

The Rams rolled past Artesia 68-48, leading by double digits for almost all the second half and posting a crucial district win. Then on...
CLOVIS — In less than 15 years, Touchstone Golf has gone from a dream of PGA professional Steve Harker and his brother Doug to boasting more than 40 courses throughout the country.

The Wildcats assured themselves of the District 4-5A tournament’s No. 2 seed, meaning they’ll play a district semifinal at home on Thursday. And, th...

But inclement weather offered its own remix, and the tournament organizers decided to try to squeeze all of the matches into Friday.

In boys action, Clovis was second behind tournament host Lovington, while a shorthanded Ram boys team did well but lost most matches due to default losses. “I was very happy...
ROSWELL — Clovis’ girls basketball team knew the stakes. The Lady Wildcats needed to beat Roswell on the road Friday to avoid making another two-hour trek there just four days later. And they came through, pulling away to win 39-24, which earned them a first-round home game in the District 4-5A tournament on Tuesday. The Lady Wildcats’ first-round opponent? The very same Roswell team they defeated on Friday night. “I was glad to get this win so we didn’t have to play at Roswell Tuesday,” Clovis head coach Jeff Reed said....
