What do you think about this idea? There are 15 weeks of the New Mexico High School Football Season. I attend 15-20 marquee games during the year, but list them well ahead of time, so we can spotlight those games. Or should I wait each week to see which big games are taking place?

Thoughts on the night.

Man the Jimmy V and Pat Tillman award always a good message. They have powerful messages, this year Still's daughter with the Jimmy V award was awesome. The Tillman award winner also had a good speech.

Are NM Players recruited well by New Mexico Colleges and Universities?

Who recruits our state best?

What a CRAZY game!!! This was the BEST game of the group stages. Talk about saving the best for last!
7 goals in the 2nd half alone!

As a fan/supporter of each team I'm sure it was frustrating or maddening. As a neutral, that was an AMAZING game.

I hope the other 4 of you saw that!

There have been some big names come across for Europe this summer: Gerrard, Lampard, Pirlo, and Gio Dos Santos.

Of the four, I think the best signing has been the Dos Santos signing. Here's why: he is about 10yrs younger than the other three. He can give you more years for the buck. He's someone to build around and IF he plays well, like Giovinco, that could lead to more younger stars joining the league. They might not be "A" list stars like a CR7 or a Messi, but there are some young names out there that could put butts in the seats.

Dont get me wrong, I like the other three signings and I will shell out the $$ to see them play in Phoenix or Colorado.

The MLS can shift from becoming a European retirement league to more of development league where players could peak. The league could become more like the Dutch league for its next growth phase.

Any schedules complete yet?

Any new schedule games, marquee games or tournaments next season?

6A Prediction Thread: With summer at a close for most teams around that state of New Mexico today we make some bold and early predictions. Debate, disagree and state your own opinion.

6A SUMMER WAY TOO EARLY PRESEASON RANKING (Will Change in November)
1. Cibola
2. Volcano Vista
3. Mayfield
4. Las Cruces
5. Valley
6. Hobbs
7. Eldorado
8. La Cueva
9. Rio Rancho
10. West Mesa
11. Clovis
12. Carlsbad
13. Alamogordo
14. Sandia
15. Santa Fe
16. Albuquerque High
17. Cleveland
18. Deming
19. Gadsden
20. Atrisco Heritage
21. Onate
22. Highland
23. Manzano
24. Rio Grande
Reminder: This was a :30 second Top-25 prediction.

DISTRICT PREDICTION
1-6A
1. Cibola
2. Volcano Vista
3. Rio Rancho
4. Santa Fe
5. Cleveland
Cibola and Volcano have a tie breaker game. Rio Rancho also stills a game at home over former rival Cibola.

2-6A
1. Eldorado
2. La Cueva
3. Sandia
4. Highland
5. Manzano
Sandia was young and did scare La Cueva but suffered a loss to fall to third. Eldorado the best viable team to take DC.


3-6A
1. Mayfield
2. Las Cruces
3. Deming
4. Gadsden
5. Onate
For some reason I like Deming to be a threat but Mayfield and Las Cruces split, tie breaker and head to state tournament as favorites.

4-6A
1. Hobbs
2. Carlsbad
3. Clovis
4. Alamogordo
Hobbs to lose. Clovis might fall some and Alamo's chance to jump up in their new district.

5-6A
1. Valley
2. West Mesa
3. Albuquerque High
4. Atrisco Heritage
5. Rio Grande
Valley and West Mesa battle for title but Valley's success proved to help win DC. Atrisco has the opportunity to be better. AHS lost top player could hurt.

STATE TOURNAMENT PREDICTION
Different from rankings as it's prediction that teams lose some key games and or district finish prediction and key losses late or upsets.

1st Round
1. Cibola v. 16. Albuquerque High
2. Mayfield v. 15. Deming
3. Volcano Vista v. 14. Alamogordo
4. Valley v. 13 Sandia
5. Las Cruces v. 12. Clovis
6. Hobbs v. 11. West Mesa
7. Rio Rancho v. 10 La Cueva
8. Eldorado v. 9 Carlsbad

2nd Round
1. Cibola vs. 9. Carlsbad
2. Mayfield v. 7. Rio Rancho
3. Volcano Vista v. 6 Hobbs
4. Valley v. 5 Las Cruces

Final Four
1. Cibola v. 5. Las Cruces
2. Mayfield v. 3. Volcano Vista

Championship
5. Las Cruces v. 3. Volcano Vista: Volcano Vista wins the title.
