Upset Team in State
Team that Gets Upset

Under the Radar Mr. Football Candidates

This is the place that is never too early to start making predictions and talking about the next season. Today, we pick five more players that could take home the award as the best player in high school football.

Feature: Continue reading the feature here.

Was waiting until we reached baseball but who makes the list for you?

What are the songs during warm-ups this season?

Would you agree in terms of overall statewide support? Seems New Mexico is much more of a basketball state from a big picture perspective?

Look at the state basketball tournament attendance overall compared to the total attendance statewide for football.

Miyamura: 8-years (Never Been to State; This is their 9th season)
Chaparral: 7-years
Aztec: 5-years
Los Alamos: 4-years

Please add others.

Coaches out there!!!!!! What time after stretching do you give your players to warm up (throwing)? Do you rush them to get practice started or give them all the time they need? Does a normal arm need less time and throws than a big arm?

Top Defenses in 2017?

A seeding meeting is conducted under the direction and supervision of the NMAA on Thursday preceding the State Tournament. Only head coaches or a designee may attend the meeting.

(Representatives are selected based on the results of the district dual meets. The coaches of the championship team and runner-up team shall be the representatives.)

Seeding is overseen by a committee composed of district representatives. The tournament director (authorized by NMAA) may appoint others to assist with the process as necessary. Verification of entries will take place at the seeding meeting.

A. Six individuals are seeded in each weight class in 6A and 5A, four in A-4A.

B. Trackwrestling software will be used to seed all weight classes.

C. NMAA Wrestling Seeding Rules are as follows:

* 1. All wrestlers with a .500 record or better are considered for a seed.

* 2. Schools wishing for wrestlers below .500 to be considered for a seed must request inclusion in the seeding process prior to running the seeding report.

* 3. Criteria points are earned against all wrestlers considered for a seed in the following priority order:
----- a. Head-to-head results
----- b. Records against common opponents
----- c. Returning state place (most recent state tournament)
----- d. Best overall percentage record (must have wrestled a minimum of twelve (12) varsity matches this season; record to include all varsity matches in all weights)

* 4. The wrestler with the most “points” earns the one seed. The wrestler with the second most points earns the two seed, etc.

* 5. Tie breaking procedures are as follows:
----- a. If two individuals are tied on points they will be compared alone and awarded seeds
based on the priority criteria procedure listed above.
----- b. If three or more individuals are tied on points they will be compared alone and awarded seeds first using returning state place and then best overall percentage record if a tie is not broken by returning state place.
----- c. If three or more individuals remain tied the seeding committee shall vote on the order of seeds. In case of a tie vote, the seeds are determined by a coin toss or draw of lots.

Does multiple wins over the same district champ count as 1 win over a DC or multiple?

Just some statistics from this past weekends State wrestling tournament

What makes for a great 7-on event?
