CLOVIS — Like flies at a picnic, those pesky Clovis turnovers just won't go away. But the Wildcats' football team feasted on Goddard anyway Friday night at Leon Williams Stadium. Unlike a week earlier at Rio Rancho, Clovis was able to dominate enough against the Rockets that turnovers didn't really matter, as the 'Cats cruised 41-0 — the program's largest margin of victory against Goddard since 1982. With that rout, Clovis improved to 3-1. Turnovers aside, just getting back in...
[Listen - .MP3] CLOVIS — The calls started to come in just before 4:13 p.m. on Aug. 28. In about five minutes, 911 dispatchers took almost a dozen reports of an active shooter at the Clovis-Carver Public Library. Clovis police on Friday released the 911 calls from the violence that left two people dead, four injured and a 16-year-old high school student in custody. The audio suggests callers are breathless a... Full story
PORTALES — The Portales Rams beat the St. Michael's Horsemen twice in 2016, including wins of 38-12 in Week 4, and 38-0 in the 4A state semifinals — both played at Greyhound Stadium. New year, new site, new just about everything as the Rams get set for the trip to Santa Fe for a 1:30 p.m. Saturday kickoff. "Honestly, we just had a good performance both times against them — with two different quarterbacks," Portales coach Jaime Ramirez said. "The game was truly much closer than...
MELROSE — Tristan and Sterling Sena were together long before they were Melrose Buffalo teammates. "It just goes back to before we even started playing football, back in like the first grade just in the backyard throwing to each other," Sterling Sena said. "It's just a connection, we have chemistry." The only difference is they're bigger now, just as Melrose was bigger than Tatum in a 54-0 win Friday night. The Sena brothers combined to account for four touchdowns, i...
PORTALES — The Eastern New Mexico University football team will face its biggest test of the season so far when the Greyhounds travel to No. 3 Texas A&M Commerce tonight in a battle of 2-0 teams. The Lions have been the class of the Lone Star Conference recently, winning the past three LSC championships. A&M-Commerce earned its two victories this season in very different ways. The Lions opened the season by eking out a 8-7 win over No. 6 North Alabama, taking the lead for the first time on a field goal with 1:12 remaining i...
PORTALES — Night and day. That’s what Eastern New Mexico volleyball coach Sia Poyer had to say about his squad in its home-opening win over Texas A & M-Kingsville, following a rough outing at Western New Mexico this past Tuesday. The Greyhounds evened their early Lone Star Conference record by beating the Javelinas in four sets on Friday night, 25-13, 20-25, 25-21 and 26-24. “The loss against Western New Mexico, even though it was at their place, our effort was just embarrassing,” Poyer said. “I’m happy about the win. This i...
Cassini, the NASA spacecraft whose breakthrough discoveries about Saturn and its many moons revolutionized the search for life beyond Earth, disintegrated Friday morning in the skies above the ringed planet. It was one month shy of its 20th anniversary in space. The explorer’s death was swift and deliberate. Traveling at 76,000 mph, it hurtled into the planet’s atmosphere shortly after 3:30 a.m. Pacific time and stopped communicating with Earth one minute later, according to NASA’s carefully choreographed plan. Within three...

On this date ... 1962: The Curry County Sugar Beet Association announced a meeting to discuss acreage application requests from the Holly Sugar Co. Hoyt Pattison, chairman of the local sugar beet growers’ group, called the meeting a vital step in the county’s efforts to revive sugar beet acreage in this area. More than 70,000 irrigated acres had already been pledged in the Texas Panhandle for sugar beet production.
