Augustine Garcia: The Eye, The Engine, The Storyteller
In every community, there are people who document history — and then there are people who shape how that history is remembered. For Roswell, Dexter, and the surrounding region, Augustine Garcia Jr. has become that defining voice. A sports photographer, a journalist, a filmmaker, and a relentless advocate for authentic coverage, Augustine has spent years building a legacy that goes far beyond the standard box score.
A Longtime Photojournalist With Deep New Mexico Roots
Augustine’s journey began long before Roswell Sports Report existed. He cut his teeth as a photojournalist contributing to local outlets in Roswell, Belen, and Bayard, capturing the heartbeat of New Mexico sports with a style that blended truth, grit, and cinematic emotion.
His work wasn’t just photography — it was storytelling. Every frame carried a narrative. Every moment felt alive.
A Love for Sports Photography & Journalism
Sports have always been Augustine’s arena. Not as a player — but as the person who sees the story behind the scoreboard. His passion for sports photography and journalism comes from a belief that athletes deserve more than quick recaps and blurry sideline shots. They deserve coverage that honors their effort, their community, and their journey.
Augustine built his reputation on capturing story‑teller sports images — photos that freeze emotion, movement, and meaning in a single frame. Images that families cherish. Images that athletes remember. Images that communities rally around.
Coverage That Goes Beyond the Standard
What sets Augustine apart is his drive to give his community more than the basics. More than the routine. More than the expected.
He pushes for coverage that feels cinematic, personal, and powerful — the kind of storytelling usually reserved for big‑city media markets. Through Roswell Sports Report, he has created a platform where local athletes are showcased with the same intensity and respect seen on national stages.
A Creator With Range: From Documentaries to Cinematic Photoshoots
Augustine’s creative catalog is wide and evolving. He has produced documentary‑style videos that dive deep into the lives, struggles, and triumphs of local athletes and programs. He has led cinematic photoshoots that transform everyday sports moments into dramatic, high‑impact visuals.
His projects span:
Athlete features
Community sports documentaries
Team cinematic posters
Game‑day highlight films
Editorial‑style photo sessions
Cultural and community storytelling pieces
Every project carries his signature: sharp detail, emotional depth, and a commitment to authenticity.
A Storyteller for the Community He Loves
Augustine’s work is more than media — it’s service. He captures the stories of the community he grew up in, the athletes he supports, and the families who trust him to preserve their memories.
His images aren’t just shared — they’re felt. They remind people why sports matter. They remind communities of their pride. They remind athletes that their hard work is seen.
The Man Behind the Lens
Augustine Garcia isn’t just introducing himself to the world — he’s introducing his community to itself. Through every photo, every video, every article, he shows people the beauty, intensity, and meaning of local sports.
He is a creator. A journalist. A storyteller. And a driving force behind a new era of sports coverage in Southeast New Mexico.

Meet Crystal, Built by Sports, Driven by Heart
Crystal Arenivas has become one of the most trusted voices at Roswell Sports Report, but her story didn’t start with a microphone or a media badge. It started on the court, under the lights, and out in the open air — where she learned how to compete, how to lead, and how to love the game long before she ever covered one.
Mesa Middle School: Where the Fire Started
Crystal’s athletic roots run deep. At Mesa Middle School, she wasn’t just another student athlete — she was everywhere. She played basketball, pushing herself through drills, fast breaks, and long practices that shaped her competitive edge. She also played volleyball, where she learned timing, teamwork, and the thrill of rising above the net.
Those early seasons taught her discipline, grit, and the joy of being part of something bigger than herself.
Roswell High: The Evolution of an Athlete
By the time Crystal reached Roswell High, she had already built a reputation for being all‑in. She continued her athletic journey, sharpening her skills, strengthening her confidence, and becoming the kind of teammate who lifted everyone around her.
Sports weren’t just activities — they were her identity. They were the foundation of the passion she carries today as a senior reporter.
Burnt Orange Bloodline
Crystal’s love for the Texas Longhorns is legendary. She reps the burnt orange with pride, loyalty, and a little bit of that Texas swagger. Whether it’s football, basketball, or any Longhorn moment worth celebrating, Crystal is locked in. Her fandom isn’t casual — it’s part of who she is.
Friday Night Lights: Her Favorite Stage
Crystal lives for the magic of Friday Night Lights. The band warming up. The crowd buzzing. The stadium lights flicking on. The smell of fall in the air.
She grew up loving those nights as an athlete — and now she captures them as a reporter with the same intensity she once played with. She understands the emotion behind every play, every cheer, every heartbreak, and every triumph.
