NMPreps guide to the semifinals in New Mexico high school football. The 2022 4A semifinals take place on November 19th and 20th. #nmpreps
No. 2 Bloomfield Bobcats vs No. 3 Taos Tigers
Taos and Bloomfield look to put a special season on display this Saturday afternoon. The winner will earn a trip to the 4A state championship game, a place both have become well at playing in. Bloomfield played in the 2019 and 2018 state championship game but look to win it all this time around. Taos played and won the 2018 title behind a 12-1 season.
Bloomfield is 10-1 on the season only falling to top seed Silver back in early October but have their season back on track since that loss winning the last four games. During that time frame the Bobcats have also captured the 1-4A district championship.
Taos winners of 10-straight games heading into the semifinal game with Bloomfield. The Tigers lost their opener on August 20th have since been perfect with only two games within single digits. Key note for the Taos Tigers is playing all games on the road this season.

Players to Watch
Senior quarterback Dameon Ely leads the team in passing and rushing yards for the Taos Tigers this season. Although complete numbers have yet to be reported Ely has over 1,000 passing yards and over 600 yards rushing this season. Diego Alvarez (2023), Favian Cordova (2023) and Ely also guide the Tigers defense.
Bloomfield players George Rascon Jr. (2024), Drew Perez (2024) and Jared Seitzinger (2024) are the go-to targets for senior quarterback Ryan Sharpe this season. Sharpe accounted for over 250 yards in last weeks win over Moriarty.
The final word. Taos has the opportunity to continue a storyline season without a home game into the state championship. Bloomfield has weapons upon weapons and will be difficult to overcome.
