Saturday Coffee: Week 10 Storylines
Not much changed on Friday night but teams are starting to take their seat at the playoff table. We did see some teams that have likely been placed on the elimination table and this morning with Saturday morning coffee we try to recap all of the happenings from last night.
District Championship Games Set: Los Lunas blanked Del Norte in one quarter (57-0) and Belen took out Highland 62-14 setting up a noon DC in Los Lunas for the Valencia County squads. Rio Rancho mercy ruled Volcano Vista, 57-7 and Cleveland shutout West Mesa, 54-0, setting up an all Rio Rancho district championship next weekend.
Upsets: Robertson beat St. Michael's 44-7, and yes we are all aware of how many players were out for St. Michael's but this loss shakes up the order in which teams will take a seat at the 3A playoffs. Raton in control of the district now and most likely to lock up the 1-seed.
November Awaits: In consecutive weeks the New Mexico Military Institute beat the team ranked one place higher. This week was a convincing showing beating No. 6 Hope Christian, 42-27. The Colts now in the conversation for a top-four seed in the 3A bracket.
New Kids on the Block: Juan Badillo (2022) helped guide the NMMI Colts to their win over Hope Christian on Friday night. Badillo passed for 138-yards and rushed for another 110-yards in the win. Darrell Ochieng (2022) was on the other end of Badillo passes with 107 yards receiving on the night. He also had 79-yards rushing on the night.
President & Vice President: Vigil and Priddy 2021 is the headline for the Rams offense this season. Running back Zach Vigil rushed for three touchdowns on Friday night with quarterback Dominck Priddy totaling for four touchdowns - 2 passing, 2 rushing.
Underclassmen Shine: The Cleveland Storm moved along with ease 54-0 over West Mesa on Friday night. The underclassmen for the Storm owned the end zone for the Storm with the following players getting a TD in the win - Evan Wysong, Elijah Brody (2024), Zachary Beranek (2023), Chuka Tutman (2023), and Harris Moneh (2023).
Matadors Eye Playoffs: The Sandia Matadors made the trip east to Clovis and beat the home team 41-14. This puts Sandia around the 9-11 seed range and secure a playoff birth. The Matador duo of Sean Johnson and Dalton Speis had four touchdowns between the two of them. The Matadors are now tied with Eldorado for second place in district at 3-1. Sandia finishes with Manzano next week. Eldorado takes on Clovis.
District Champs: La Cueva beat Manzano 47-6 to claim the DC on 2-6A. Centennial finished off Hobbs 35-18 to win 3-6A.

Grine: Well, coffee is limited to once a week and I am feeling bougie with Dunkin Donuts coffee. Yes, I know it's not that fancy but when the budget is pennies you save up ten for a nice cup. The creamer is Oatmilk. Never used creamer until this year, it's good. I still prefer black coffee but if I can only have a cup a week I'll put it in. Have a great Saturday folks. Go Notre Dame. It's my sons birthday party so say a prayer as I'll have 9-year olds all day.
