NMPreps schedule breakdown of the 2023 New Mexico high school football season. The team weighs in on the best and worst case scenario for each team.
Schedule
8/18 - at Piedra Vista - Coin Flip
8/25 - vs Durango CO - Underdog
9/1 - vs Los Lunas - Coin Flip
9/9 - at Cibola - Favorite
9/15 - vs Albuquerque - Favorite
9/22 - at Rio Rancho - Underdog
10/6 - vs West Mesa - Underdog
10/13 - at Sandia - Coin Flip
10/21 - at Eldorado - Favorite/Coin Flip
10/27 - vs La Cueva - Underdog
2022 Wins: Los Lunas (26-11), Albuquerque (41-18), West Mesa (48-41), Sandia (43-7), Eldorado (45-21), Carlsbad (34-33)
2022 Losses: Piedra Vista (53-31), Durango CO (56-7), Cibola (41-36), Rio Rancho (35-28), La Cueva (62-19), La Cueva (41-6)
Record: 6-6 overall, 3-1 district
Best Case Scenario: 6-4 overall. The Scorpions have a stud quarterback returning in Trel Griego (2023) and they will go as far as he can take them in 2023. Six wins would get them back into the playoffs and continue their recent success under head coach Jeff Darl. The hard issue here is in the form of only two true favorite wins - Albuquerque and Cibola - along with several coin flip games. The Scorpions won 5 regular season games last season, the kicker here would be the opener against crosstown rival Piedra Vista.
Worst Case Scenario: 2-8 overall. The floor, on the surface, feels like a long shot but the Scorpions could have a coin flip of a season. With only two games that are true favorites, the handful of coin flip games could put them at 2-wins.
