Outlet Pass: Friday Preview

Friday Preview

Rivalries abound tonight with a number of them having that top district position up for grabs.

Game of the Night - La Cueva at Eldorado - The last time these two teams met it was La Cueva stealing the win with a big 4th quarter. Both team undefeated so far in district play heading into this first place game.

Bounce Back? - Cibola at Rio Rancho - Cibola lost a stunner in overtime to rival Volcano Vista Thursday night and will look to retake first place in district with a win at Rio Rancho. Since starting 2-6, the Lady Rams have gone 8-3 including 6-3 in January alone. Rio Rancho only lost by 4 last time they met. Could this be the statement win the Lady Rams are looking for?

Back In The Game - Volcano Vista at Piedra Vista - Just one night after a big win against rival Cibola, the Lady Hawks will hit the road north to take on a Piedra Vista team looking to get their first win against a 6A team.

Battle for Roswell - Goddard at Roswell - Roswell has cemented their position as the top team in 5A but a red-hot Goddard team is not far behind. The last time they met in the Goddard tournament, Roswell won by 10 points. Both teams will enter this game on 6-game winning streaks.

Queens of the North - Bloomfield at Kirtland Central - Up in District 1-5A, the first showdown for first place will take place at Bronco Arena. KC comes in winning 4-straight including 3 straight in district play. After their back-to-back losses in Albuquerque, the Lady Bobcats have found ways to win in a shaky district start.



Other Friday Night Matchups

Belen at St. Pius X - A win for Belen puts them 2nd in district.

Hobbs at Centennial - Centennial has won two straight and looking to upset a dynamic Hobbs team.

Carlsbad at Mayfield - Carlsbad starts up the second half of district play on the road against a Mayfield team looking to recover from a bad loss at Las Cruces.

Gallup at Aztec - Gallup had to reschedule their game against Bloomfield so they're coming in well-rested. Aztec is looking to find any way to win after a bad loss against Farmington.

Artesia at Lovington - Lovington is on the outside looking in as far as state projections go. A win at home against a fair Artesia team would help propel them into the 5A tournament field.

MLS in Tucson

For the 3-4 of you who have been a part of this soccer board, you know about the MLS Preseason in Tucson.

I have gone for the past 5-6 years and I can tell you its a pretty cool experience. The stadium is small and you can get good views of the players in warm up and on the bench. You can nab tix for like $15 for the full day. On the right weekend you can catch double or triple headers. Luckily in the past we have gotten photo ops with players like Kei Kamara, Kyle Beckerman, Vicente Sanchez, Javier Morales, Teal Bunbury and Diego Fagundez and others.

Im excited this year that NYCFC and the NY Red Bulls will be attending and hoping that Pirlo and David Villa make appearances and maybe get some photos or autographs with/from them. Im thinking they will be there because the weekend I am going is the last weekend before the season officially starts.

Santa Fe High Football Update

http://www.santafenewmexican.com/sp...cle_ae78477f-af82-5161-8ac5-45cc559b82f2.html

The Santa Fe New Mexican is reporting that SFHS completed interviews yesterday and expect to have a recommendation of a new name in the next week. They had 22 candidates.

It also states that the NMAA granted Independent status to the program. So I guess it is official and the program is going independent for the next two years. I guess I must have missed that being the official direction. They are working on their schedule that will mirror last years but will add Escalante and possibly Chaparral. It will also include:

St. Mikes
Capital
Los Alamos
Taos
Goddard
Roswell
Escalante
Chaparral (in final process)

This leaves two games to get to 10.
