For the last four years, Aaron Standing has claimed Clovis, New Mexico as his home. For the Utah native, avid skier, and mountaineering enthusiast - eastern New Mexico was a far cry from what he was used to. But when Standing decided to purchase Eastern Family Dentistry and begin practicing as a dentist in Portales, he quickly came to appreciate what this area has to offer. During his time here, Standing and his wife have welcomed two children to their family. As a family,...
My mind has been brought to the history of Portales this week thanks to Ruth White Burns. No, I haven’t been talking directly with Ruth, just her family. But it started me to remembering her and her love for history and her family’s prominent place in it. Her family is in the midst of preparing for an estate sale and they’ve asked me to help find a home for a couple of items too special to fall to the auctioneer’s gavel. One of those was the double-door safe from the Blanken...
CLOVIS – Portales High's softball team returned to its winning ways on Wednesday night. The Lady Rams were hopeful it would carry over when they returned to District 4-4A action. Taking advantage of a team without its primary pitcher, PHS scored early and often en route to a 26-10, 14-3 sweep of Clovis High at Lady Wildcat Field. Portales (8-8) scored in nine of 12 innings, including eight frames of at least three runs. The Lady Wildcats (2-12) were without their top hurler i...

CLOVIS – Early on, Clovis High's baseball team tried to hang with defending Class 5A champion Carlsbad in Thursday's District 4-5A opener at Bell Park. The Wildcats got taken out of contention by a 10-run third for the Cavemen. Ten-run innings generally tend to do that. Carlsbad whacked three home runs and senior left-hander Mack Mabrey tossed four solid innings as the Cavemen (14-4 overall), ranked fourth in 5A, pulled away to a 14-2 victory in five innings. The teams were s...
TEXICO – Texico posted a 2-1 mark in three District 6-2A baseball games at home this week, the first of the season for the Wolverines. On Thursday, Texico (5-6 overall) claimed 16-9 and 7-6 victories over Pecos (3-9, 0-2 district). The Wolverines saw an early 3-0 advantage disappear in Game 1, but rallied for seven runs in the bottom of the fourth to take the lead back and sealed it with a six-run sixth. Junior Kyle Gonser led Texico at the plate, going 4-for-5 with a pair of doubles, two runs scored and four RBIs. Junior Dal...

PORTALES – As the song once said, what a difference a day makes. Eastern New Mexico University's softball team pulled out a pair of tight wins on Tuesday to open its Lone Star Conference series against Texas Woman's at Greyhound Softball Field. On Wednesday, though, it was a whole different story. Determined not to leave New Mexico empty-handed, the Pioneers got a six-inning no-hitter from junior right-hander Alyssa LeBlanc – who also had three hits at the plate – in an 11-0...
