2A Playoffs: Top Players to Watch This Post Season
Today, we highlight the must see players to watch this post season. The 2A bracket only has four teams but it could be a final four of talent with one semi-final game being a must see game this week in our Pick 'Em
Grine's Grinding Crystal Ball
State Champ: Lordsburg
Runner-Up: Fort Sumner
Skinny: Most want to pick, most have picked or will pick, the 1-seed Fort Sumner Foxes to win it all. Why wouldn't you? They dominated previously unbeaten Esclante, 45-26 this past weekend. However, I want to bet the house on Fort Sumner, they are just young and for some reason I want to pick the team that resembled them three/four years ago in the Lordsburg Mavericks who have a senior led team that has plenty of experience.
Top Quarterbacks - 2A
1. Johnny Plowman - Lordsburg
2. Jude Segura - Fort Sumner (2019)
3. Tristan Martinez - Escalante
4. Freddy Carrillo - Jal
The 2A bracket was released and we highlight the four quarterbacks in the conversation. The big name from the past weekend was sophomore quarterback Jude Segura. It was reported that he passed for 250-yards in a win over Escalante. Plowman, for Lordsburg has over 1,618-passing yards this season with 21-touchdowns.
Top Running Backs - 2A
1. Diego Aguilar - Escalante
2. Fransico Chavez - Fort Sumner (2020)
3. Raymond Saucedo - Lordsburg
4. Gavin Trevino - Jal (2019)
Aguilar leads the group right now with 734-yards but it is the freshman Fransico Chavez who could be the unknown about to be made known in the group. Raymond Saucedo is the name we have heard about for a few years now he has 7-touchdowns and 560-yards this season.

Grine's Grinding Crystal Ball
State Champ: Gateway Christian
Runner-Up: Melrose
Skinny: I wanted to go Melrose here. Most might go Melrose here. I just like how resilient this Warriors team from Gateway Christian is playing. They lose players to injury or other reasons and they find a way to win. Sometimes it hasn't been pretty but they have got the job done. This will likely be a re-match from week one and I continue to see the Warriors roll.
