Even as they make their way through the world, so narrow is their focus that it's unlikely they think of, or even notice much of what goes on around them. In fact, they're so preoccupied; it's no surprise when they walk calmly into traffic. Don't let their rangy, menacing appearance scare you — truth is their looks really have nothing to do with you and everything to do with function. Enduring excruciating heat, often without the relief of water, they make their way through ro...
One of the family was off to a recent funeral for a friend. As they were going out the door I said, "Now if the preacherman at the funeral starts hootin' and hollerin' that you're horrible for not believing like he does it's OK to leave the place." The door closed and I felt the gaze of The Lady of the House upon my personage. "What was that about?" she asked, looking over the top of her glasses. "Well let me tell you a story," I said. "I'm sure you will," said The Lady of the House. It was long ago and far away, the story...
You might think playing two top-20 teams to start the season and coming away with a split would be OK for a lot of people. Not third-year Tarleton State coach Cary Fowler, whose team edged then-No. 4 Midwestern State 20-17 in its opener before losing to then-No. 20 Abilene Christian 34-31 in last week's Lone Star Conference Football Festival at Cowboys Stadium. "I want to win every game, and that's the way I approach it," he said. CMI correspondent: Joshua Lucero ENMU senior...

DENTON, Texas — It was a short day for Eastern New Mexico University's volleyball team on Friday.

AMHERST, Texas — The Dora Coyotes traveled across the state line on Thursday night and improved to 4-0 for the season with a 53-44 victory over the Amherst Bulldogs. The Coyotes (4-0) had been scheduled to play Animas at Hondo on Friday, but the Panthers dropped their program earlier this season. The game against the Bulldogs was added to take its place. Dora trailed 6-0 early, but was in front 14-6 at halftime and never relinquished the lead, although the Bulldogs (1-3) kept it interesting. Coyotes coach Mason McBee noted th... Full story
The first half of Friday's Clovis Christian-Reserve football game was something you don't expect to see too often in 6-man — a good, old-fashioned defensive slugfest. That changed quickly when play resumed. Each team scored on its first play from scrimmage, and CCS added another TD on the third play after the next kickoff. The Eagles kept the Mountaineers in check the rest of the way, though, and cruised to a 32-10 victory at Jim Hill Field. CMI photo: Tony Bullocks Clovis C...

Sophomore quarterback Daniel Sanchez ran for a touchdown threw for 177 yards, including a 60-yard TD pass...
RIO RANCHO — Whether by ground or by air, Jordan Rommell delivered. The 5-foot-9, 165-pound senior saved most of his deliveries for the second half, posting 134 of his 181 yards of offense after halftime to help the young Cleveland Storm move to .500 on the season with a 27-20 victory over the Clovis Wildcats. Rommell rushed 29 times for 149 yards, with touchdowns of 3 and 4 yards, and caught eight passes for 131 yards — including a 71-yard score with less than five min... Full story

He also accounted for two points on a safety, sacking t...
SANTA FE — This overtime thing isn't working out so well lately for the Portales High boys soccer team. The Rams dropped their third consecutive decision in extra time on Friday, a 2-1 District 2/1A-3A setback at the hands of Monte del Sol. Portales, meantime, came away with a 2-0 victory in the girls matchup. The Rams and Lady Rams complete their weekend visit to the capital city today against Desert Academy, with the girls match first at 1 p.m. PHS boys coach Brian Kirchner said his team isn't quite as deep as it was a year...
ELIDA — When you've won consecutive state championships, expectations tend to be elevated when a third is in sight. But don't call it mad ambition when an Elida player, like senior setter Shealton Veo-Chenault, says something like the following: "We do talk about winning a third one, getting the triple crown, but actually our goal right now is to go undefeated — but I'd better knock on word when I say that." CMI photo: Tony Bullocks Elida freshman Marily Varela prepares to...
