Recap: The Legacy Academy Silverbacks concluded their second season as a football program with a remarkable 7-2 overall record and secured the district championship in 8-man football. Despite a tough start with a 52-0 loss to powerhouse Melrose, the Silverbacks bounced back impressively with seven consecutive wins. Key victories included dominant performances over Clayton (62-26), Lordsburg (56-6), Tatum (34-30), and Mesilla Valley (64-36) in non-district play. In district competition, they defeated Pine Hill (52-20), Questa (46-30), and Menaul (44-12). As the 2-seed in the playoffs, their season ended in a narrow first-round upset by 7-seed Clayton, 28-26, in the 8-man playoffs.

Offense/Defense Outlook​

The Silverbacks demonstrated their offensive prowess last season, generating excitement for a possibly higher-than-expected preseason ranking in their first foray into 11-man football. Key returners will be crucial to their success.
