Most Likely to Upset in Week 2?



A victory of a team that was not favored.", or "when a higher-seeded/rank (better) team loses to a lower-seeded/rank (inferior) one.
An upset occurs in a competition, frequently in electoral politics or sports, when the party popularly expected to win (the "favorite"), either loses to or draws/ties a game with an underdog whom the majority expects to lose, defying the conventional wisdom.

Tuesday Questions

Did you attend a week one game? If so, thoughts?

Say, Clovis beats Cleveland and Rio Rancho. Could you consider the Wildcats as Spring State Champs? Any others play the best in their classification? Maybe the Roswell district.

Is there room to squeeze two/three more games in? Could a team play Tuesday and then Saturday?

Dark horse game to watch this week?

What did you learn from week 1?

THREE THINGS FROM WEEK 1

1. Hobbs Looked Good in the Trenches: From the start of this contest it was obvious that Hobbs OL/DL was improved. We are still looking for a correct roster but a pair of players (#72 is one) that have next level talents. Another player who stood out for the Eagles was Demitrius Frausto (WR/2021). New quarterback Colton Graham (2022) will be one to watch this season along with the Fall.

2. Clovis did miss Harris but the little things will be adjusted by this weekend: The Clovis Wildcats lost starting QB Chance Harris and turned to CJ Gutierrez (2022/QB) who converts from WR. Gutierrez played like a first time QB-1 on the night, he got the dub, but will spend the week looking at some of the things he'll need to be better at this week. Oh and Jaden Phillips (University of NM commit) could be the top defensive player in the state - yes after one game I'm saying that. I can't wait to see him against Cleveland next weekend.

3. Expected More: Alamogordo barely got by Bloomfield, 16-14. We predicted the Tigers to roll but that again could be us underestimating Bloomfield and Bob Allcorn. We expected the Bobcats to be in a rebuild but once again we could be wrong here and Allcorn continues to prove he is one of the best...that doesn't get the recognition that he should. Alamogordo is still talented and very good, have a new QB, so we have our eye on them this week against a Ruidoso team coming off a loss.

One Liner - Rapid Fire
  • One Man Show - Portales turns to Baylor Diaz after years of talent throughout the roster.
  • The Shutout is a Statement: Socorro thumps Hot Springs 40-0, they are very good and would have returned to the title game.
  • One Year Away - Albuquerque Academy only losing 14-7 to Hope Christian is a sign that these 2023 Chargers could be one of the best in the Fall and Fall of 2022.

Each week we will breakdown the games to watch in New Mexico high school football. We will also release our staff picks and predictions for each game taking place that week.

6A FOOTBALL

No. 2 Clovis High School vs No. 7 Hobbs High School: We could reference this game as a rivalry contest between the eastern schools but Clovis has won more than enough here. The Wildcats also feature one of the most talented teams not only in Wildcat history but New Mexico history. With several players already committed to play at the next level all eyes will be on the purple and white. Star running back Jeston Webskowski (2021) is the name we all know and the one that could rack several post season awards. The Hobbs Eagles won't back down though and for second-year head coach Ken Stevens the Eagles are coming for a win. The Eagles have some talent of their own and look to returning players like Jarren Lewis (QB) who passed for nearly 2000 yards last season. Grine's Pick: Clovis. Line: Clovis -18.5

No. 6 Carlsbad High School vs Artesia High School: The Cavemen enter the season with a handful of uncertainties after graduating a talented class in 2020. The Cavemen took the Eddy County rivalry game last season 48-35 and look to maintain the upper hand on rival Artesia. The Bulldogs bring top 35 player Braxton McDonald into the contest and will look to avenge the loss on opening night in 2019. The Bulldog will also feature a new QB under center this coming season, a position that guides this air it out attack. Grine's Pick: Artesia. Line: Artesia -3.5

5A FOOTBALL

No. 4 Artesia High School at Carlsbad High School: The Cavemen enter the season with a handful of uncertainties after graduating a talented class in 2020. The Cavemen took the Eddy County rivalry game last season 48-35 and look to maintain the upper hand on rival Artesia. The Bulldogs bring top 35 player Braxton McDonald into the contest and will look to avenge the loss on opening night in 2019. The Bulldog will also feature a new QB under center this coming season, a position that guides this air it out attack. Grine's Pick: Artesia. Line: Artesia -3.5

No. 5 Farmington High School at Aztec High School: The Scorpions will take on former district foe and 4A's Aztec this Friday night. The Scorpions feature one of the top QB-WR duos in Caleb Carrillo (QB/2021) and Chance Carrillo (WR/2022). Caleb returns after passing for 2,968-yards last season and 35-touchdowns. Aztec took a loss last season, 56-33, to the Scorpions but hope to build off having an inexperienced roster of underclassmen in 2019. Marcquis Henry (2023) had a stellar freshman campaign and is a sophomore will many eyes on his progression. Grine's Pick: Farmington. Line: Farmington -15.5

No. 6 Alamogordo High School vs Bloomfield High School: This contest will take place at Bernalillo High School this season and provides us a quality match up with Alamogordo returning as a favorite in 5A football and Bloomfield returning after falling in the 4A state championship last season. Alamogordo features one of the top players in New Mexico with Sean Hays (2021/RB) looking to make a name known this season. Bloomfield has holes to fill, a new QB, RB, and will look to Bryce Perez (2021/WR) and Raymundo Alcantar (2021/WR) as the top returning players for the Bobcats. Grine's Pick: Alamogordo. Line: Alamogordo -12

No. 7 Piedra Vista vs No. 11 Miyamura: The only game this week between two 5A programs. The Piedra Vista Panthers won 8-games last season, winning a playoff game, and hope to stay among the top in the classification. The Panthers did graduate some of their go-to players last season but the future looks bright and word is the underclassmen could carry them forward for the next few years. Miyamura enters the season without their top quarterback, after he played fall football in Arizona this season. They return some players from last season that contributed well but it could be a year of new players taking on new roles. Grine's Pick: PV. Line: Piedra Vista -14
