ORGAN MOUNTAIN KNIGHTS

City: Las Cruces, NM
2021 Record: 4-6 overall, 0-4 district
2021 Playoffs: Missed
Head Coach: Steve Castille
NMPreps 6A Preseason Rank: #15 (of 21)
NMPreps Top-40 Preseason Rank: Coming Soon

Scoop: Head coach Steve Castille had the Knights go from 1 win in 2019 to 4 wins in 2021 and should have the program in great shape for another step forward in 2022. The Knights will have to replace some key players and senior leadership from last season that includes quarterback Beto Garcia. Running back Joe Estrada had a strong start to the 2021 season and the Knights could use the 2023 player for a strong campaign in 2022. If they can fill holes on offense, continue improving on offense, and improve on defense the Knights will be in business.

Early Prediction: 4-6 overall, 2-3 district

Any exposure is good exposure for our NM players. Please make suggestions for camp opportunities that you know players have gone to and have had good experiences. The camp that was held at ABQ Academy last spring had a great turnout, it was convenient for a lot of families and gave a handful of players the chance to at least meet college coaches. Although it was a combine-style camp, it was a starting place for the College Coaches Showcase Camp series to want to come back. The spring camp they are holding at ABQ Academy this year is more of an instructional style camp, so not as much of the combine testing; instead, more instruction in position groups with coaches with offense emphasis for a few hours and then defense for another few hours.

New Mexico High School Football Preseason Team Rankings for 2022

NMPreps will take a look at each team in New Mexico high school football leading up to the 2022 season. #nmpreps

SANTA FE DEMONS

City: Santa Fe, NM
2021 Record: 6-4 overall, 2-4 district
2021 Playoffs: Missed
Head Coach: Andrew Martinez
NMPreps 6A Preseason Rank: #16 (of 21)
NMPreps Top-40 Preseason Rank: Coming Soon

Scoop: In 2021, the Demons achieved a school mark for most wins since head coach Andrew Martinez took over, came close to a playoff birth. Martinez has built the Demons program from consistent cellar team to a real threat last season. The Demons will now be in a position to fill some vacant holes lost to graduation, the most notable being running back Martell Mora who rushed for 1230 yards and 17 touchdowns last season. Also, Luc Jaramillo, passed for 1300 yards and 15 touchdowns is gone from this roster. The Demons also lose pieces from the defense, looking for experience form Andrew Allen (2023/SS) and Michael Serrano (2023/LB).

Early Prediction: 3-7 overall, 2-2 district.

5A BASKETBALL

William Benjamin (Las Cruces/2022) - 26.5 points per game leading the Bulldawgs to a perfect 26-0 record. Benjamin also with averages of 7 assists and 5.8 rebounds.

Jalen Goar (Hobbs/2022) - 20.2 points per game along with 3.5 assists and 3.2 rebounds. Goar is leading the Hobbs Eagles to a 24-2 record.

Exodus Ayers (La Cueva/2023) - The Bears are currently 21-3 overall and Ayers is averaging 16.8 points per game, 4.5 assists, and 6.2 rebounds.

JaKwon Hill (Volcano Vista/2022) - The Volcano Vista Hawks are currently sitting at 24-0 and entering the district tournament as the 1-seed.

Isaiah Carr (Las Cruces/2022) - The top ranked big man in the state is averaging 18.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per game for the 26-0 Bulldawgs.

From the ABQ Journal:


Akili Carris, sr., SS, La Cueva: Great glove, clutch stick — he continually produced huge RBI at-bats in a championship run last June — and has signed with the Lobos.

Jordan Martinez, sr., SS, Sandia: One of two UNM signees on this year’s Matador roster, and a reliable glove at short.

Adrien Martin, sr., CIF/P, Sandia: Right-handed pitcher, left-handed hitter, the other Matador who is a future Lobo.

Tommy White, sr., RHP, Cibola: The 6-foot-4 White, once he’s done with the Cougars, is off to the Big Ten and the University of Illinois.

Alex Gilliam, jr., LHP, Valley: This is a big southpaw (6-1, 200) with a live arm, and he’s already committed to becoming a Lobo after high school.

Devon Alvarado, sr., LHP, Rio Rancho: There are a handful of lefties to keep an eye on this spring. Alvarado is headed to Amarillo JC.

Matthew Dinae, sr., LHP, La Cueva: The Bears also have a second UNM signee. Dinae is a reliable member of a deep pitching staff.

Alex Gaeto, sr., RHP/1B, Albuquerque Academy: Perhaps the most unheralded of the Division I signees in the Class of 2022, Gaeto is going to Samford in Alabama.

Jace Dominic, sr., LHP, Cleveland: Yet another impressive lefty, the 6-5 Dominic, like Rio Rancho’s Alvarado, has signed with Amarillo JC.

Dominick Priddy, sr., OF/C, Rio Rancho: Here’s how versatile Priddy is for the Rams: He can play center field or catcher dependably. Also signed at Amarillo JC.
