Week One is typically a short week with little news happening but we kick off the season with some monster performances and 5-noteworthy games. Southern New Mexico kicks off the season in most sports a week before the northern schools.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Celeste Cox (2017/Las Cruces HS/MH) - The 6'0 MH from Las Cruces High wins the week one "Player of the Week" honors after a monster performance. Cox had 8-blocks as she helped guide the Lady Bulldawgs to a 3-0 (25-21, 25-22, 25-22) win over EP Chapin (TX). The Bulldawgs (No. 7 NMPreps.com Week Zero Rankings) move to 1-0 on the season and next play EP Franklin (TX) on Tuesday night of week two.Cox is part of a young up and coming Lady Bulldawgs team that has the potential to be a threat to play for the title game.
