CLOVIS — Overcoats, hoodies and gloves have replaced short-sleeve shirts for the Clovis girls soccer fans. And the games they’re watching are different, too. Gone are the pre-district days of eight- and nine-goal wins for the Lady Wildcats. Their District 4-5A games have been a lot tighter, a lot more competitive. Take Tuesday night’s game against Roswell at Leon Williams Stadium, for instance. Though the final score was 4-0 Clovis, the game was locked in a scoreless tie a...

They’ll have a chance to make it 2-0 Thursday back at The Rock,...
