Review
2022 Record: 7-5 overall, 2-2 district
2022 Wins: Eldorado, Eastlake TX, Organ Mountain, Farmington, Atrisco, Cibola, Alamogordo*
2022 Losses: La Cueva, Hobbs, Volcano Vista, Centennial*
*Playoffs
Best Case Scenario: 8-2 overall
The Rams finished 6-4 during the regular season in 2022 and six games is a high possibility again this season. They lost to Hobbs and Volcano Vista last season, both of those games would get the to 8-wins. The Rams feature a solid returning core and have enough talent and experience to finish closer to the best case scenario.
Worst Case Scenario: 5-5 overall
Three coin flips headed into the season - Eastlake TX, Hobbs, and Volcano Vista. The Rams went 1-2 beating Eastlake 13-7 at home last season. Back-to-back trips down south after opening with top-ranked La Cueva will be a true early test.
