NMPreps Proposes Revised 6A New Mexico High School Football Districts for 2024 and 2025 Seasons

As anticipation builds for the upcoming 2024 and 2025 New Mexico high school football seasons, NMPreps has taken a closer look at the structure of the 6A class. While adhering to the 21 teams designated for the 6A class, our proposed changes focus on optimizing the district alignment for a more balanced and competitive landscape.

One of the primary modifications involves the adjustment of teams within each district. Recognizing the challenges posed by the decision to have one 8-team district instead of three 7-team districts, NMPreps seeks to address scheduling concerns. The changes are designed to maintain regional rivalries while introducing strategic shifts for certain teams.

Key Changes:

  1. Hobbs and District 3-6A: Hobbs will be part of District 3-6A, joining teams in Albuquerque. This adjustment, despite requiring travel for Hobbs to Albuquerque, strategically aligns them with teams like Clovis, Alamogordo, and Carlsbad.
  2. Combining Las Cruces and Albuquerque in District 2-6A: Forming a 1-25 district, this change brings Las Cruces and Albuquerque teams together with Los Lunas in the middle. This alignment aims to foster competitive matchups and streamline travel logistics.
  3. Santa Fe to District 1-6A: Santa Fe transitions from District 2-6A to District 1-6A, giving them a 7-team district making three 7-team districts.
  4. Uniform 6A Schedule with Petitioned Rival Games: NMPreps proposes a uniform scheduling approach where all 6A teams adhere to the same schedule, except for petitioned rival games (Artesia vs Carlsbad; Mayfield vs Las Cruces as some examples). This method ensures fairness and consistency in scheduling.
  5. Annual Scheduling Meeting: Taking inspiration from successful practices in middle schools, NMPreps suggests an annual scheduling meeting where all 6A Athletic Directors convene to collectively schedule games. This collaborative approach aims to address scheduling challenges efficiently.
NMPreps Proposed Districts:

District 1-6A:

  • Cibola
  • Cleveland
  • Rio Rancho
  • Volcano Vista
  • Farmington
  • Piedra Vista
  • Santa Fe
District 2-6A:

  • La Cueva
  • Eldorado
  • Sandia
  • Los Lunas
  • Las Cruces
  • Organ Mountain
  • Centennial
District 3-6A:

  • Albuquerque
  • Atrisco Heritage
  • West Mesa
  • Alamogordo
  • Clovis
  • Hobbs
  • Carlsbad
NMAA Districts:

District 1-6A:

  • Cibola
  • Cleveland
  • Farmington
  • Piedra Vista
  • Rio Rancho
  • Volcano Vsita
District 2-6A:

  • Albuquerque
  • Atrisco Heritage
  • Eldorado
  • La Cueva
  • Los Lunas
  • Sandia
  • Santa Fe
  • West Mesa
District 3-6A:

  • Alamogordo
  • Carlsbad
  • Centennial
  • Clovis
  • Hobbs
  • Las Cruces
  • Organ Mountain
SCHEDULING

With 21 teams initially posing a scheduling challenge, we devised a solution by incorporating a designated "rival" game each week. This adjustment enables 20 teams to successfully schedule 10 games for the three non-district slots. While an alternative approach could involve relegating Santa Fe to 5A, creating two ten-team districts (an additional feature worth re-exploring, that I released prior to the season), the current solution somewhat addresses the issue. Though travel inconveniences persist, this model ensures competitive games and provides an opportunity to identify the 12 teams deserving of playoff spots.

Thursday Night Showdowns in New Mexico High School Boys Basketball

As the week unfolds in New Mexico high school boys basketball, Thursday night brings forth intriguing matchups that promise excitement and competitive battles on the hardwood. Let's delve into the three key games scheduled for the evening. #nmpreps

Robertson (8-1) at Farwell, TX (11-8), 2:30 pm

The second-ranked team in 3A basketball, Robertson, sets its sights on Farwell, Texas, in a quest to secure a quality OOS (out-of-state) victory. Farwell, TX, with a record of 1-1 against New Mexico-based teams, boasts a win over Tohatchi but faced defeat against Magdalena. The Robertson Cardinals, led by a talented trio including Jesse James Gonzales (2025) averaging 13.4 points per game, Mateo Contreras (2024) contributing 11.2 points per game, and Esteban Medina (2024) with 10.7 points per game, are projected to triumph in this contest with a margin of -3.5.

Fort Sumner (9-1) at Magdalena (9-1), 2 pm

A clash of titans unfolds in the battle of the top teams in 1A New Mexico high school basketball as Fort Sumner faces off against Magdalena. Both teams have enjoyed a wealth of talent in recent years, and this season is no different. Magdalena's dynamic duo, Jeffrey Stuteville (2025) averaging an impressive 19.5 points per game and Joseph Zamora (2025) contributing 17 points per game, make Magdalena a formidable force. The prediction leans in favor of Magdalena with a margin of -2.5 over Fort Sumner.

Rio Rancho (5-4) at Capital (5-4), 7 pm

While not stealing the marquee spotlight, the matchup between Rio Rancho and Capital promises excitement. Capital, holding a rank in the high 20s of 5A basketball, seizes the opportunity to upset the top-ten ranked Rio Rancho Rams. Rio Rancho's dynamic duo of Jayden Johnson and Jerry Archuleta leads a team eyeing a deep run into the Elite Eight this season. Keep an eye on Santiago Bencomo (2024), a forceful point guard with excellent penetration skills. The prediction favors Rio Rancho with a margin of -7.5 over Capital.

More Action:
In addition to these thrilling matchups, the 2024 Horsemen Shootout kicks off this evening with a double-header. St. Michael's (4-5) hosts Crownpoint (1-5) in the 7 pm game, while Bosque (6-3) goes head-to-head with Espanola Valley (2-10) during the 5:30 pm game. Basketball enthusiasts can expect intense showdowns as these teams vie for supremacy in the Horsemen Shootout.

Meanwhile, over at the Gallup Tournament, a six-team bracket promises a night filled with exciting basketball action. The matchups include Gallup (2-4) taking on Piedra Vista (1-8), 7pm, Rehoboth Christian (6-2) facing off against El Paso-Cathedral TX (9-11) at 4pm, and Miyamura (1-7) squaring up against Santa Fe Prep (3-3), at 5:30pm. Keep an eye on Santa Fe Prep and Rehoboth Christian, who emerge as the early favorites to secure victory in this highly competitive tournament.

Adding to the basketball frenzy, the 5th annual Jal Panther tournament tips off tonight, showcasing a bracket that features the top-ranked 2A team, Academy for Technology and the Classics (ATC). ATC (8-2) is set to face Loving (5-2), at 3:45pm, in the opening round, creating an electrifying clash. On the other half of the top bracket, NMMI (3-2) takes on Eunice (5-4), 2pm, promising another riveting contest.

Team Rankings 2024 New Mexico High School Football Preseason Rankings: 2A Laguna-Acoma Hawks

J Grine
NMPreps 2024 New Mexico High School Football Preseason (Way-Too-Early) Team Rankings: Laguna-Acoma Hawks

As we dive into the intricate tapestry of New Mexico high school football, our spotlight today is on the Laguna-Acoma Hawks, a team brimming with potential and poised for a new chapter in the upcoming 2024 season. With a preseason rank of #16 in the 2A category and an overall standing of #88, the Hawks are gearing up to redefine their narrative on the gridiron.

Team Overview: Laguna-Acoma Hawks
  • Location: Casa Blanca, NM
  • Preseason Rank: #16 (2A) / #88 (overall)
  • 2023 Record: 3-7 overall, 0-3 district
  • Points Scored: 205
  • Points Given Up: 343
  • Key Offensive Players: Derek Victorino Jr., QB (2025); Jayden Dailey, RB (2026); Kahi Tiller, RB (2026)
  • Key Defensive Players: Kahi Tiller, LB (2026); Jayden Dailey, LB (2026); Derek Victorino Jr. (2025); Marshall Deutawe (2026); Sean Deutawe (2025)
Overview:
The Hawks concluded the 2023 season on a high note with a resounding 60-14 victory over Hozho Academy, breaking a three-game losing streak. Notable triumphs over Zuni (3A) and Newcomb (2A), a now-district rival, highlighted their potential. Boasting a roster predominantly comprised of underclassmen, the Hawks are poised to build upon their foundation and showcase their prowess in the upcoming 2024 campaign.

Offense Outlook:
Quarterback Derek Victorino Jr. returns as a dynamic force, having thrown for 810 yards and 8 touchdowns in his junior year. Leading the team in rushing with 395 yards and 6 rushing touchdowns, Victorino Jr. is set to spearhead the Hawks' offensive charge. The emergence of sophomores Dailey and Tiller in the previous season hints at a formidable offense, promising breakout performances in the 2A football landscape.

Defensive Outlook:
The defensive lineup features standout players in Victorino Jr., Dailey, and Tiller, complemented by the prowess of the Deutawe brothers. Tiller, with an impressive 79 total tackles (46 solo) in 2023, anchors a defense that holds promise and intrigue for the upcoming season.

Realistic Expectations:
Despite a sense of being undervalued in the rankings, the Hawks are ready to prove their mettle on the field. The district showdowns, particularly against a Newcomb team they defeated convincingly, will be pivotal in determining the accuracy of this way-too-early prediction. The newly formed District 1-3A poses challenges with teams like Cuba, Hozho Academy (#17), McCurdy, Navajo Prep, and Newcomb. The Hawks' path to the playoffs hinges on overcoming the competition in this six-team district. If they harness their potential over the summer, the Hawks could emerge as a rising force in the 2A football landscape. Stay tuned as we closely follow the journey of the Laguna-Acoma Hawks in the upcoming season.

Prediction: 1-9 overall, 1-4 district*

Daily Dimes: Tuesday Night Action (January 2nd)

Tonight marks the inauguration of the 2024 segment in the 2023/2024 high school basketball season, setting the stage for teams to either rebound or extend their existing hot streaks. One team, in particular, stands out, poised to showcase its prowess tonight in the Farmington Scorpions.

Top Three Games to Watch:

1. Artesia (4-4) at Carlsbad (6-5): A solid clash awaits as Artesia takes on Carlsbad, two evenly matched programs with distinct playing styles. The hard-fought battle is expected to showcase contrasting approaches, with the Cavemen being favored by 9 points. Anticipate an intense matchup between these two well-matched rivals.

2. Farmington (12-0) at Los Lunas (6-4): In what could be the biggest trap game of the week, Farmington faces Los Lunas. Fresh off their 7.5-hour, 1,000-mile round trip to Hobbs last weekend, the Scorpions embark on another journey, this time to face an upset-minded Los Lunas team. Fresh from their recent ascent to the number one ranking in 5A, Farmington faces a formidable challenge against a motivated Los Lunas squad (Ranked 12th). The matchup between Cody Vassar-Steen (Farmington) and Jalin Holland (Los Lunas) adds another layer of excitement to what could be the game of the week.

3. Santa Fe (8-1) at St. Pius X (5-5): Interest and intrigue characterize the clash between the Santa Fe Demons, currently ranked 5th in the 5A rankings, and the St. Pius X Sartans, a solid 4A program. The Demons' journey to Albuquerque promises a compelling matchup against the Sartans. This is a rematch from last week, Santa Fe winning 60-51 in the opening round of the Rio Rancho tournament.

Tuesday Schedule:
  • Alamogordo (9-2) at Chapin TX (17-4), 6 pm
  • Artesia (4-4) at Carlsbad (6-5)

Lobos Soar: UNM Basketball's Dominance Continues into the New Year

The University of New Mexico Lobos have ignited the court once again, echoing the spectacular 15-0 start of the 2022/2023 season. With an impressive 11-1 overall record and a remarkable 10-game winning streak, the Lobos are proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the college basketball arena.

The star of the show this season is none other than sophomore sensation Donovan Dent, who is lighting up the scoreboard with an outstanding 16.8 points per game. Dent's electrifying play and scoring prowess have become a cornerstone of the Lobos' success.

Adding to the formidable lineup are two promising freshmen, with JT Toppin making a significant impact by averaging 7.7 rebounds and 12.8 points per game. Meanwhile, Tru Washington is contributing 10.6 points per game and securing 4.7 rebounds, showcasing the depth of talent within the Lobos' roster.

Senior leader Jalen House continues to play a pivotal role, both on and off the court, providing invaluable experience and contributing an average of 14.3 points per game in the seven games he has played.

The Lobos' dominance extends to their home court at The PIT, where they boast an impressive 6-0 record. The raucous support from the local fans undoubtedly adds to the team's success in the electrifying atmosphere of their home arena.

Next Up

As the Lobos gear up for the next phase of the season, their attention turns to an in-state clash against Division II Eastern New Mexico. Despite a relatively quiet holiday break, the Lobos remain vigilant and focused, knowing that every game counts in their pursuit of success.

Eastern New Mexico's Greyhounds, riding a six-game winning streak, and 8-2 overall record, look to provide a challenge to the Lobos.
