Tim Williams signs with overseas team. Played for the Lobos this past season.

So midnight madness workouts and 2 workouts in the morning and you are done. Oh the life of leisure. Back in the dark ages at Artesia we would go from 7:00am to 7:00pm. First workout was at 7:00 and would go to 10:00. Film and board work till 11:30. Lunch in cafeteria and then one Varsity Coach would sleep with team in gym while other Varsity Coaches worked JV from 1-3. Varsity up at 3:00 and weights. Practice then from 4-7. We would be wasted at the end of everyday. Yea I don't miss that at all and today's practices make perfect sense. Short and precise and go hard for 2 hours or less. Do it hard and do it right.

Goddard was 104-20 in his final 4 season and the Rockets won the 2017 Class 5A state title.

The OT: Blogging New Mexico Road Trips

NM Blogs: Navajo Lake

As many of you know I travel a lot for work. This past weekend I drove north to Denver for a week. However, this blog is not designed for other states even though I leave the state twice a month.

This New Mexico Road Trip Blog will be on a road that I've never set my eyes on. The Road is 120, coming south from Denver you exit at Wagon Mound and head east for several miles until you hit a very small town called Ocate. This ride was one of the most relaxing that you could experience. It was straight out of a movie or a stand still picture.

We hit Ocate and took a picture of a little church in basically the center of the town. We then went south to Mora and along the way taking some more pictures that feature another church.

Report Card

Drive: A-
Remarks: Northern New Mexico continues to have some of the best roads that I've seen. For the second week I went on a road that I've never been on. I loved last week but this week had a little extra plus little to no traffic outside a pack of motorcycles.

Eye Test: A+
Remarks: I don't know if it could get much better. This drive was the ease any person would need. You'll see in the photos however those photos will not do justice.

Food: A
Remarks: The journey ends at a common place that I eat at a lot. Charlie's in Las Vegas, NM. I don't know if it could get any better. The stuff sopa people.

Overall: A
Remarks: The road leads to different lakes, Angel Fire resort and other hidden diamonds in New Mexico. Overall, I will take this road again. I know I don't want to get the bar to high early in the blog but 2 for 2.

who do you have?

This brings up so many topics and questions.

I hope more info comes out over the next few days because up front this seems very newsworthy.

Per the Rio Grande Sun, or as we call it up north "el mitote", Former Hobbs Football HC, Paul Roybal is the new AD for Espanola Valley School District.

Los Lunas reached the semifinals in 2016. The Tigers have a new coach and a new offensive scheme led by QB Nicholas Gaerlan.

Are there any schools or districts out there that use and allow fundraisers like GoFundMe or PayPal Donations that go directly to the team and not the school?

If so:

• How are they set up so the funds get from the GoFundMe to the school activity account?
• What are the checks and balances to ensure transparency and no missing funds?
• Do you know of any schools that have set up and linked their activity accounts/books to an outside crowdfunding generator?

We are trying to think outside the box on this, but stay within our districts guidelines, which can be very restrictive. With all the budgets cuts left and right, we are looking for creative, yet kinda easy, ways to make up that cut money. We are aware of the old school Gold Cards and Fan Cloth, etc, etc...but that gets saturated when 3-4 other programs are selling the same cards and clothing line.

Who you got?

Just throwing this out there for the boys side, mostly to stimulate discussion. Please add your own comments.

6A
1. La Cueva
2. Albuquerque High
3. Volcano Vista
4. Eldorado
5. Sandia
6. Cleveland
7. Atrisco Heritage
8. Cibola
9. Hobbs
10. Gadsden

La Cueva is loaded this year - talent back at every position and maybe the best GK in the state. I think their district is the toughest top to bottom because Eldorado will be improved, and Sandia is talented but a question mark because of the coaching change. Valley, Centennial, Rio Rancho, Las Cruces, and Clovis are possibly top 10 teams.

5A
1. St. Pius
2. Academy
3. Los Alamos
4. Chaparral
5. Roswell
6. Farmington
7. Los Lunas
8. Alamogordo
9. Capital
10. Santa Teresa

St. Pius has just about everyone back from last year's state runner-up team. Academy has some college-level talent but will have to find reliable scorers. Los Lunas is a potential sleeper. Aztec has a lot of players back from a team that was a surprise last year.
