2023 SCHEDULE

Aug. 25th - at Los Lunas - Underdog
Sept. 1st - vs Gadsden - Favorite
Sept. 8th - at Capital - Favorite
Sept. 15th - at El Paso TX-Riverside - Underdog

Oct. 6th - vs Las Cruces - Coin Flip
Oct. 13th - at Hobbs - Underdog
Oct. 20th - vs Centennial - Underdog
Oct. 27th - at Organ Mountain - Coin Flip
2022 Record: 5-6 overall, 2-3 district
2022 Post Season: First Round
Best Case Scenario: 6-4 overall. The famous coin flip schedule. The Alamogordo Tigers achieved highs last season and finished 5-5 during the regular season earning a playoff bid. The adjustment this season was the addition of Silver on opening night, a game that will challenge them but a game that they are favored in. The 5 regular season losses came at the hands of Los Lunas (43-30), Riverside TX (35-21), Carlsbad (47-37), Hobbs (47-3), and Centennial (42-17). They'll look to flip one of those games in order to get over the .500 mark. The game with the best chances will be Carlsbad, a team on its third head coach in as many years.
Worst Case Scenario: 3-7 overall. The losing end of those coin flips games. Las Cruces was a huge win for the Tigers in '22, on the road. They get that game at home this season and making it two in a row with help getting back into the playoffs. The district continues to improve with Centennial at the top but 2-5 is for the taking with Hobbs currently in that seat. The Tigers have some key positions to fill but they have enough to make another run this season.
