By Kevin Wilson MANAGING EDITOR [email protected] CLOVIS — Demerious Milton, Hunter St. John and Josiah Thomas spent their senior years in Clovis show- ing they deserved a shot at the next level of football. They’ll all have that chance in New Mexico, as the three signed letters of intent to open the football signing peri- od Wednesday morning at Clovis High School. In a small ceremony at the athletics office with green and silver decor, St. John and Thomas both signed on to play for Eastern New Mexico University. The decor switched to red and black, and Milton donned a new Broncos cap as he signed on with New Mexico Military Institute. Other Wildcats are still weighing offers before the signing period concludes April 1. WILDCATS Milton played one sea- son for the Wildcat varsity, rushing for 1,264 yards and 17 touch- downs on 166 carries. Those numbers were great, but he knew being 5-foot-7 would make it tough to get college offers. He hopes the Bronco program can help him find a Division I roster spot two years down the road. “I’ve always believed it, since I was a kid,” Milton said. “I always thought that I would play college ball. I hope they can help me get to where I want to be in the long run.” Clovis coach Cal Fullerton said Milton earned his college looks. “He didn’t play football his junior year, and he steps in and runs for near- ly 1,300 yards,” Fullerton said. “They’ve added some guys, including Hobbs’ quarterback (Gavin Hardison), that are going to open things up for Las Cruces Sun-News photo: Gary Mook Demerious.” Regarding the Eastern signees, Brandon Baeza, the 2017 Gatorade New Mexico football player of the year, was among Wednesday’s signing class for Eastern Fullerton feels like both St. John and New Mexico University. Thomas could make huge leaps as col- lege players, and have found a program that can help them do just that. “Eastern’s done a great job of taking guys and molding them,” Fullerton said, “and those kids have a lot of potential. But they could step in and Big Hound haul contribute right away, as well.” The 6-foot-3, 225-pound St. John was ❏ an All-District 6-2A selection both jun- State’s Gatorade player “We did very well with regional and area football players ior and senior years, and received nods in New Mexico and west Texas.

By Peter Stein STAFF WRITER [email protected] CLOVIS — Clovis’ boys basket- ball team has seen this movie before and hasn’t liked the ending yet. The coaching staff comes up with a strong plot, the players make it an interesting narrative and the elements are there for a strong conclusion. So far, it has turned out the same. The saga continued Tuesday for the ’Cats, who lost 80-73 to Manzano at Rock WILDCATS Staubus Gymnasium and dropped to 0-7 in District 2-6A play. Clovis had plenty of chances, another old plot twist, but couldn’t quite get it done against another district opponent. “It seemed like throughout the game, going back to the first quar- ter, it was layups in and out, shots that were right there at the rim,” said Clovis head coach Scott Robinson, whose team fell to 8-14 overall. “You know what? They’re not falling for us and they’re falling for our opponents right now. If we start getting some shots to fall, I think obviously, that changes everything.” Tuesday’s story arc was similar to the last time Clovis played Manzano on Jan. 20.
