Review​

The Laguna-Acoma Hawks took another step forward in 2024, snapping a run of back-to-back 3-7 seasons and reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2016. After finishing 4-6 overall and 2-3 in District 1-2A, the Hawks earned the No. 12 seed in the Class 2A playoffs but were eliminated in the first round by a dominant Eunice squad. Still, the season marked progress for a program that had not finished at or above .500 since its 6-5 campaign in 2016. The 2024 wins came against Zuni (48-18), Santa Fe Indian (52-0), Newcomb (30-14), and Hozho Academy (53-13). The losses were more competitive than in past years, though they included lopsided setbacks to Legacy Academy, Bayfield (CO), and Eunice. District losses to Navajo Prep, McCurdy, and Cuba revealed that the Hawks are still chasing the elite tier in 2A, but they remain in the mix.
