Each week on NMPreps.com we select a North, Metro Area, Southwest, and Souteast Player of the Week. The Player of the week award is powered by First Financial Credit Union.



Coach: Charlie Dotson, Eldorado

How many coaches or programs in New Mexico could lose a prospect such as Zach Gentry, the 6-foot-7, 245 pound Michigan Commit and just keep on winning without skipping a beat? Dotson and his staff have continued their winning ways at Eldorado, currently the Eagles are 5-0 heading into week 6 after an impressive 49-28 win against Mayfield. Over the last two-seasons Eldorado has won their last 15 out of 17 games.

Team: Centennial Hawks
Did you know that Centennial is 4-0 against Las Cruces competion all-time? Last Friday night the Hawks defeated Las Cruces 42-35 to move to 5-0 on the season and currently remain the No. 1 ranked team in Class 5A, they are No. 3 overall in the NMPreps.com Top 25 Rankings. This season, Centennial’s offense has been on fire: Scoring 36, 55, 44, 48, and 42 points. They take on Los Lunas in week 6 as they begin district play.

Metro Player of the Week: Jayce Jackson - Eldorado (Overall Tie)
Eldorado Eagle Senior Jayce Jackson is a 4-year starter. He played running back his freshman year, he’s also played receiver and defensive back, this year he took over at Quarterback replacing Zach Gentry. He’s been steady all year, but against Mayfield he reeled off 225-yards and 5 touchdown passes. The Eagles take on Cleveland in the NMPreps.com Week 6 Game of the Week.

Southeast Player of the Week: Isaac Amaya - Hobbs (Overall Tie)
Let’s rewind two-weeks against Onate. Amaya threw for over 300-yards and 6 touchdown passes. Against Goddard Friday Night, Amaya threw for over 250-yards and 7 touchdowns, there has been just a handful of New Mexico Quarterbacks to ever hit that mark. Eagles will travel to Lubbock, Texas in week 6 to take on Coronado.

Southwest Player of the Week: Junior Pena - Centennial
Junior Pena was named the NMPreps Elite Combine MVP Receiver this summer and has had an outstanding 2015 season. Last Friday against Las Cruces, Pena who is just a junior caught for 59-yards and 1 touchdown, ran in a score for a touchdown, and returned a kickoff 98-yards for a score. Centennial as mentioned takes on Los Lunas in week 6.

Someone reported on Facebook that Bill has passed away. Can anyone confirm this? I can't find an obit, though it was supposedly to have occurred this weekend.

Centennial's point guard, Cesar Molina took a visit to Fort Lewis College in Colorado over the weekend and gave the school a verbal commitment.

Molina, a first team All-state member helped lead the Hawks to the schools first-ever state championship in boy's basketball with a 52-38 win over Gallup. The 5-foot-11 point guard will be a preseason candidate for the NMPreps.com Mr. Basketball award, rewarding the top player in New Mexico.

At Artesia last night the Hobbs Eagles JV won 63-12 with the game being stopped in the 3rd quarter. We did not make it to that game but we did watch the Hobbs Freshman team beat Goddard by three touchdowns. That was followed by the Hobbs C team playing the Lovington JV at Watson Stadium. Quote of the night...Coach Gleghorn got so upset watching the game that he went to the middle of the field and screamed at the huddled refs..."You guys are just making stuff up!!!" You could hear him all the way to the pressbox. I had to laugh.

Personally I feel that kneeling during an injury time out is a soccer thing. Last thing I want is my kid getting cold and straining a muscle but apparently people in CBad think differently as listening to the game stream last night I can hear CBad fans screaming at Artesia for not taking a knee.

We are a month away. Who makes your list for mid-season all-state?

Cleveland 42, Sandia 7
Login to view embedded media The Cleveland Storm moved to 5-0 on the season with a 35 point win over Sandia Thursday Night at Wilson Stadium in front of 40mph winds.
