3A Semifinal: #2 Hope Christian at #3 Robertson

NMPreps guide to the 2019 New Mexico high school football state playoffs. We give our prediction, line and picks for the game.

NO. 2 HOPE CHRISTIAN HUSKIES
Record: 9-2 Overall
Head Coach: Gary Beck
PF: 430
PA: 72
Streak: 6-wins
Top Players: Collin Evans (2020/QB); Blane Miller (2020/RB); Ryan Cosper (2020/WR); James Jenkins (2022/WR); Zach Griego (2020); Van Collins (2020)
Preview: The Hope Christian Huskies are looking to avoid another early exit in the playoffs, last season they lost in the semifinals as the one seed. The team that upset them in the semifinals - Robertson, their opponent again this weekend. First-year quarterback Collin Evans (2020) has passed for over 2,000 yards this season with 27-touchdowns and given the Huskies a spark. Look for Collins be the focus to the success for the Huskies moving the ball in the semifinals.

NO. 3 ROBERTSON CARDINALS
Record: 10-1 Overall
Head Coach: Leroy Gonzalez
PF: 336
PA 127
Streak: 6-wins
Top Players: Matthew Gonzales (2022/QB); Santiago Gonzales (2020/RB); Antonio Padilla (2020/ATH); Xander Romero (2020)
Preview: Can the Robertson Cardinals make it five straight, and six of the last seven, trips to the state championship game? Head coach Leroy Gonzalez continues to be one of the most successful coaches late into the season and having his teams peak at the right time. The Cardinals are riding the shoulders of sophomore quarterback Matthew Gonzales who has passed for over 1,200 yards and rushed for another 950 this season. The Cardinals are riding a 6-game win streak heading into the game.

NUMBERS
NMPreps Score Predictor: Hope Christian 28, Robertson 25
Grine Line: Hope -3.5
Over/Under: 59
Grine Pick: Robertson

Where are you going this weekend?

1) VOLCANO VISTA HAWKS
Record: 11-0, 5-0 district
Head Coach: Chad Wallin

4) RIO RANCHO RAMS
Record: 7-4 overall, 3-2 district
Head coach: David Howes

Preview: Diego Pavia (VV) and Isaiah Chavez (RR) bring us a match-up between two of the top quarterbacks that have shown the ability to go through the air or get into the end zone on the ground.

Prediction: Volcano Vista 44, 40
Grine Line: VV -4.5

Why RR: They have an offense that can put points on the scoreboard in a hurry. Chavez has near 1,800 yards passing and 34 total touchdowns on the year but sophomore running back Zach Vigil is showing signs of the next great running back for the Rams, he is coming off a 122-yard performance against Las Cruces last week.

Why VV: On this end it is Isaac Chavez providing the punch at RB as he has over 1,100 yards rushing on the season and 12 touchdowns. The Hawks defensive front is something to reckon with as well for the Hawks.

6A:
Clovis-Volcano Vista: Community Stadium (Albuquerque)
Cleveland-Volcano Vista: Community Stadium
Clovis-Rio Rancho: Clovis
Cleveland-Rio Rancho: Rio Rancho
