KABUL, Afghanistan — The last U.S. forces flew out of Kabul’s airport, the Pentagon said Monday, bringing down the curtain on America’s longest war. The head of the U.S. Central Command, Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie, said the final liftoff of American military aircraft came one minute before midnight in Kabul — just before the start of Tuesday, the day set by President Joe Biden as the final deadline for the departure of U.S. troops. “Every single U.S. service member is out of Afghanistan,” McKenzie said — setting a cap...

U.S. forces killed two high-profile Islamic State members and wounded another in a strike against the terrorist group blamed for the bombing that left at least 88 people dead near Kabul’s airport. The Pentagon raised the toll inflicted on ISIS-K in Friday’s reprisal after earlier reporting that one member of the group was killed. The targets were “ISIS-K planners and facilitators,” Defense Department spokesman John Kirby said. “They have lost some capability to plan and conduct missions,” Kirby told reporters on Saturday, tho...

On this date ... 1905: Railroad workers began a new route west, laying the first rails between Texico and St. Vrain. They didn't know it at the time, but they were planting seeds that would grow into Clovis. Here's how it happened: In January 1902, the chief engineer for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, James Dun, had a chat with “locating engineer” F. Meredith Jones. “They (railroad directors) want an east and west line across central New Mexico,” Dun told Jones....

CLOVIS - Thursday's season-opening volleyball match for Clovis High was one of runs for both teams. It just happened that Artesia's surges were longer and stronger. The Lady Wildcats erased an early six-point deficit to capture the opening set, but Artesia proved to be too strong over the long haul and improved to 3-0 with a 21-25, 25-14, 25-13, 25-17 win at Rock Staubus Gym. Clovis, with a bevy of new faces on the varsity level, made runs in each set, but couldn't stay with...

PORTALES — Eastern New Mexico University announced it will not charge admission for its women’s soccer or volleyball home games this season. The university announced the policy, which will include nine soccer matches at Greyhound Stadium and nine volleyball matches at Greyhound Arena. Neither club participated in the 2020-21 season due to COVID-19 pandemic concerns. "We are happy to have free admission to our games this fall," women's soccer coach Abbey Barnum said in a school release. "I'm sure members of ENMU and local com...
TEXICO - Early on, Texico has shown it can score the football. On Friday night against Dexter, the Wolverines gave indications that they can at least come up with key stops from time to time. The teams went from a scoreless first quarter to a 21-21 halftime tie. But Texico tallied on its first four possessions after intermission and posted two defensive stops during that time en route to a 53-35 victory. Sophomore quarterback Cade Figg and senior running back Cade Collins were...
CLOVIS - Through Thursday, it had been a pretty easy week for Clovis High's girls soccer team. The Lady Wildcats breezed to a 10-0 win over Lovington on Monday night at Leon Williams Stadium, then thumped Artesia 6-0 on Thursday at the Yucca Middle School soccer complex. On Saturday, they were slated to host a Socorro squad at the stadium which was off to a 3-0 start and had outscored its foes so far 22-0. Bigger fish are yet to be fried. Stll, the Lady Cats (4-1) are...
MULESHOE — Muleshoe coach Jason Richards believes his squad will be better than the 2-7 contingent from last year. On Friday night, the Mules gave the first indication of that with a 33-14 spanking of Sundown in the season opener for both teams. Junior linebacker Davian McMullen returned a fumble for a first-quarter touchdown and sophomore running back Jaxher Lopez added a pair of TD runs as the Mules turned the tables on the Roughnecks, who beat them 6-0 in last season’s opener. Senior quarterback Zach Hasley threw a 13-yard...
LOS ALAMOS — It was a bit of an unusual day for Clovis High’s boys soccer team on Friday. Competing in the Louis Sernicek tournament hosted by Los Alamos, the Wildcats were limited to one day and two matches because of state COVID-19 overnight restrictions. They dropped a 3-1 decision to the host Hilltoppers, then were slated to face Santa Fe Capital in their second contest. The match was moved to Capital. After about seven minutes, with the Cats leading 1-0, CHS coach Greg Trujillo said the teams had about a 45-minute lig...
CLOVIS - As the Clovis Wildcats lined up for the 2-point conversion, two feelings overwhelmed the Leon Williams Stadium crowd. Excitement, for this play would decide whether El Paso Ysleta or Clovis would get its first win of the season. But maybe more powerful to some, the relief the Wildcats' decision spared everyone an overtime. A rush of Indians defenders forced Clovis quarterback Milo Acosta to throw long, and Ysleta left town with a 34-33 victory following a three-hour,...
CLOVIS - It seems there's always somebody for Portales High's Michael Riess to have to try to beat out. Last year, countless times he pushed Clovis High standout Jerrick Maldonado, but could never quite beat him. This year, it appears he may have Lovington's Derrick Castellanos in his sights. Riess ran a strong race, but finished second behind Castellanos in Friday's season-opening Clovis Invitational at Ned Houk Park. He finished the 5K event in 17 minutes, 27.64 seconds,...
