ELIDA — All this time, Darrell Chenault thought he'd been teaching his players volleyball. And with seven consecutive championships, he had no reason to think otherwise. On Thursday night, however, he discovered his players had been learning and practicing selflessness. The longtime Tiger coach was his players' chosen recipient for Elida's cancer fundraiser volleyball game Thursday night. Chenault is not technically diagnosed with cancer, but he's fighting it all the same. Ear...
PORTALES — The Eastern New Mexico University men's soccer team came up shy in their Heartland Conference matchup Saturday, losing 2-1 to regionally ranked West Texas A&M at Greyhound Stadium. The Greyhounds' 2-1 loss puts them at 3-12-1; 2-10. Christopher Mesquita knocked in his fifth goal of the season, cutting the two goal deficit to just one early in the second half. ENMU launched 10 second half shots, but couldn't manage to sneak them behind Alexander Vencel of the B...
CLOVIS — The weather for Saturday's La Cueva-Clovis boys soccer game was sunny and warm for the first half, cold and windy for the second.

RUIDOSO — By the time John Fuentes took the win and teammate Jose Salas finished third, it wasn’t hard to guess Clovis was going to win the 135-runner Ruidoso Invitational. But Clovis coach Mark Bussen said the surprise was spoiled long before that. “I knew probably at the two mile mark,” Bussen said of Clovis’ dominant boys win over 17 other teams. “When we’ve got two guys in the top 25 in a big meet like that, you’re not going to lose. Unless you have guys fall down, you’re going to win.” Clearly, nobody fell down. F...
ROSWELL — The Portales Rams boys soccer team had a heartbreaker on Saturday afternoon, losing to district rival New Mexico Military Institute 1-0 in double overtime. With the loss, Portales (10-9, 3-5) finished fourth in the A/4A District 4 standings and will now cross fingers ahead of the state tournament selection on Sunday. “It was a battle,” Rams coach Nathan Dodge said of Saturday’s game at NMMI (7-10-1, 3-5). “We had more opportunities and more shots on goal — definitely more corner kicks. But unfortunate...
