3A Preseason Rankings: District 1-3A Preview
Teams: Navajo Prep, Newcomb, Tohatchi, Zuni
NMPreps will highlight each district before the 2021 New Mexico high school football season.
Projected Order of Finish
Tohatchi Cougars (5-0 overall)
The Cougars were expected to be solid last year and they went a perfect 5-0 during the Spring. Can that carry them over to this Fall though is the major question. The Cougars will have a new QB this Fall with a nice weapon in Bradley BItisie (2022).
Navajo Prep Eagles (Did not play)
Well, the Eagles haven't played a football games since 2019 and could be in for a long season. The good news for the Eagles would be in quarterback Dontrell Denesto (2022) who started as a sophomore for the Eagles back in 19. The Eagles last went 5-5 overall back in 2019 and finished 2-1 in district play.
Newcomb Skyhawks (0-4 overall)
The Skyhawks were projected to have a rebuilding year, add in the pandemic and the Skyhawks struggled their way to an 0-4 season during the Spring. More bad news for the Skyhawks will be a big graduating class that left in 2021 and they will be very inexperienced when this season kicks-off.
Zuni Thunderbirds (Did not play)
The Thunderbirds were another school that opted to not play this Spring. This could be another long build for a school that once had to forfeit a season because a lack of players. However, they returned strong and made a playoff push in 2019.
