It certainly wasn't the way Eastern New Mexico University's softball team wanted to end the regular season. Now the Greyhounds will see if they can bounce back when they open play as the No. 10 seed in the 10-team Lone Star Conference tournament at Canyon, Texas, facing seventh-seeded Texas Woman's (25-28) in the opening round at 10 a.m. on Thursday. It's the second consecutive year and just the fourth time in program history that the Hounds (25-25, 18-24 LSC) have reached...

Low, who...
LUBBOCK – Eastern New Mexico University’s baseball played Lubbock Christian competitively for much of the team’s final Lone Star Conference series of the season, but the Greyhounds didn’t have anything to show for it. LCU completed a late charge to overhaul West Texas A&M for its first regular-season championship since joining the league in 2020 and earn the No. 1 seed in the conference’s eight-team postseason tournament beginning this weekend, beating the Hounds 9-4 on Sunday to complete a four-game sweep. It was just enou...
Freshman Addyson Mayberry got the Portales High softball team off to a flying start on Tuesday night. Mayberry walloped a three-run homer in the first inning and the early lead held up for a while in a District 4-4A matchup against visiting Artesia. But the Lady Bulldogs, blanked until the fourth, took the lead with a four-run fifth and went on to a 13-3 victory. Mayberry followed singles by sophomore Skyler Massey and junior Myleigh Banda with her round-tripper. But PHS had...
ROSWELL – Big innings did in Clovis High’s softball team in a District 4-5A twin bill against Roswell High on Tuesday. The Lady Wildcats dropped the opener 10-0 and the nightcap 15-4.

Liz Elam wasn’t pleased with her start in Clovis High’s Wildcat Invite golf tournament on Tuesday at Colonial Park Golf Course, but she eventually sorted things out. Starting on the back nine, the Texico High senior shot six-over 42 from holes 10 through 18, then came back for even-par 36 on the front side, easily taking medalist honors for the day with her 78. “I don’t really know what happened,” Elam said of her slow start. “I wasn’t really that focused. “I told myself, ‘Don’t worry about the score.’ I just decided to play...
LUBBOCK – Lubbock Christian used a six-run eighth to break open a tight game and beat Eastern New Mexico University 15-9 on Friday in the opener of the final four-game series of Lone Star Conference and regular-season baseball for both teams. Despite the loss, the Greyhounds (21-26, 19-26 LSC) still clung to life in a bid for an LSC tourney berth next week. They entered Saturday and today’s final three games of the regular season trailing St. Edward’s and Texas A&M International, tied for sixth at 22-23 in the LSC, and Arkans...
ROSWELL – Portales High's baseball team knew its work was cut out facing the No. 1 team in Class 4A this week. The Rams managed only a single tally in all three games, including Friday's 4-1, 8-1 sweep by the Rockets in Roswell. Goddard, which has won 11 in a row, opened the District 4-4A series on Thursday night with a 7-1 verdict at Ram Field. Portales (9-11, 0-6 district) kept the Rockets (18-5, 6-0) in some check during the series, but the Rams managed only a total of eigh...
Jayden Jameson found his game just in time Thursday night. The senior right-hander struggled through a five-run Hobbs second – two errors in the frame didn’t help – before blanking the Eagles over the next four innings as Clovis High posted a come-from-behind 8-6 win in the second game of a District 4-5A doubleheader at Bell Park. Hobbs clinched a series win with a 17-12 verdict in Game 1 behind a nine-run third. The Cats (12-10, 2-4 district) close the regular season with three games against Roswell High this week – a 5 p.m...
Hobbs proved to be too much for Clovis High's tennis squads on Tuesday in District 4-5A duals at the CHS courts. The Eagles swept the Wildcats 9-0 in boys competition while the Lady Eagles notched a 7-2 victory over Clovis on the girls' side. In the boys' dual, the Cats were unable to win a set as they took just 19 games in the nine matches, including only two in the three doubles clashes. The closest contests were from eighth-grader Ryan Case, who lost 6-4, 6-1 to senior...
Coming into this weekend’s season-ending Lone Star Conference series against St. Mary’s, Eastern New Mexico University’s softball team knew its work wasn’t quite done in a bid for an LSC tournament berth. It was done before Friday’s series-opening doubleheader, though. St. Edward’s, trailing the Greyhounds by two games, played its series at Texas Woman’s early this week due to weather concerns for the weekend in the Denton area. Needing a sweep – and three losses by the Hounds – the Rattlers dropped two of three to the Pionee...
PECOS – After seeing an eight-run lead get away in the opener, Texico bounced back with a 17-3 rout of Pecos on Friday for a split of their District 6-2A baseball doubleheader. In the first game, the homestanding Panthers came all the way back from an 8-0 deficit, scoring eight times in the bottom of the sixth for an 11-9 victory. Texico (5-8, 2-2 district) trailed 3-1 in Game 2 before putting together back-to-back, eight-run frames in the fourth and fifth innings and e...
ROSWELL – Roswell Goddard pulled away late in both games for a 12-8, 18-8 District 4-4A softball sweep over Portales High on Friday. In Game 1, the Lady Rams (10-9, 0-3 district) took an 8-7 lead on a two-run homer by junior Myleigh Banda in the top of the sixth, but the Lady Rockets came back for five in the bottom half.

Eastern New Mexico University's baseball team did what it needed on Sunday and remained alive for a possible Lone Star Conference tournament berth, although the Greyhounds' work is cut out. They opened an 8-0 lead through five innings against St. Mary's and earned a 10-5 win over the Rattlers at Greyhound Field, notching their second consecutive LSC series triumph. ENMU (21-25, 19-25 LSC) stands two games behind Arkansas-Fort Smith (21-23, 21-23) and St. Edward's (21-25,...
MELROSE – Logan broke open a tight game with a five-run sixth on Monday and the Longhorns defeated Melrose 11-4. The game was a battle between the top two teams in District 3-1A and in Class 1A. Logan (13-2, 4-0) came in ranked second in 1A while the Buffaloes (8-4, 3-1) were first. Sophomore Mason Wallin went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBIs and two runs scored for the Longhorns, while senior Kaeden Stoner was also 3-for-5, driving in two and scoring once. Meantime, sophomore Mitchell Wall added a solo home run for Logan....
Essentially, there were two track meets going on in Friday's Wildcat Relays at Leon Williams Stadium – one for Rio Rancho, Artesia and Hobbs and another for everybody else. Clovis High's squads won the "other" meet – finishing fourth in both divisions. Rio Rancho took the boys title with 97 points to 95 for Artesia, 80 for Hobbs and 50 ½ for the Wildcats, and completed a sweep with 102 ½ on the girls side to 85 for Hobbs, 83 for Artesia and 60 for the Lady Wil...
KINGSVILLE, Texas – After tossing her fourth shutout of the season in Friday’s series opener, Eastern New Mexico University sophomore right-hander Marissa Rodriguez was treated rudely by Texas A&M-Kingsville in Saturday’s Lone Star Conference series finale. The Javelinas banged out 15 hits off Rodriguez in 4 1/3 innings, knocking her from the box in a five-run fifth, and handed the Greyhounds a 9-5 setback to win the series. Kingsville (29-21, 22-20 LSC) has finished its regular campaign and is now assured of ninth place...
Were it not for three big crooked numbers, there wouldn’t have been much going on offensively in Friday’s District 4-5A baseball doubleheader between Clovis High and Carlsbad at Bell Park. Fortunately for the Wildcats, their big frame – a seven-run seventh – was just enough to pull out a 7-6 victory in the opener. The Cavemen posted their second six-run round of the night in the nightcap en route to an 11-0 victory. Carlsbad (13-7) took two of three from the Cats (11-8) in the district-opening series for both teams. Clovis co...

Meantime, the Lady Wildcats finished with 28 points in the 19-school Class 5A division, trailing Rio Rancho (39) and Rio Rancho Cleveland (32). Portales had 10...
CARLSBAD – Clovis High’s baseball team had a chance to steal one in a place where it’s been tough for them to win over the years. But the Wildcats weren’t able to close the deal as Carlsbad rallied for five runs in the bottom of the fifth on Thursday to claim a 7-5 victory in the District 4-5A opener for both squads. “We had a great chance to come down here and win a ballgame,” CHS baseball coach Richard Cruse said. “But we gave up 12 free (baserunners) with walks, hit-by-pitches and errors.” After falling behind 2-0 in t...
