    the Staff of The News|Updated Oct 28, 2023

    At long last, Eastern New Mexico University’s volleyball team is in the win column in Lone Star Conference play. Senior outside hitter Halle Sanders posted a double-double with 10 digs and a team-high 12 kills while also collecting five blocks (two solos) as the Greyhounds defeated Cameron 25-22, 25-15, 25-20 on Friday night at Greyhound Arena. ENMU (10-17, 1-12 LSC) extended its winning streak against the Aggies (5-20, 2-9) to 11 matches, dating to a five-set loss on Sept. 29, 2015 at Lawton, Okla. The Hounds have won 14 o...

    the Staff of The News|Updated Oct 28, 2023

Both teams did all their scoring in the first half before the defenses took over. “They’re a good football team,” Rams coach Jaime Ramirez said of the Wildcats (7-3, 3-0 district), ranked third in Class 4A by MaxPreps. “We just made too many mistakes to beat a good team like that...
