6A Football Preseason Rankings: Farmington Scorpions
NMPreps New Mexico high school football preseason team rankings for the 2022 season. #nmpreps
NO. 12 FARMINGTON SCORPIONS
City: Farmington, NM
2021 Record: 11-1 overall, 4-0 district
2021 Playoffs: Semifinals (L, Artesia 57-14)
Head Coach: Jeff Dalton
NMPreps 6A Preseason Rank: #12 (of 21)
NMPreps Top-40 Preseason Rank: Coming Soon
Preview: A season after earning the 1-seed in the 5A state playoffs and reaching the semifinals the Scorpions will go through a transition. They move into 6A football, the largest enrollment classification in New Mexico high school football. The Scorpions will also lose their quarterback from last season and turn to 2024 Terl Griego, a 6-foot-4, 225 pound, prospect with plenty of upside. Griego tossed for 331-yards and 3-touchdowns last season as the back-up. The Scorpions graduate plenty and that includes the receiving core. Targets that could shine will be 2023 players Josiyah Archuleta and Jeven Smith. Both earned valuable playing time behind a sound group of seniors.
Predictions: 4-6 overall. Without the entire schedule as we conduct the preseason Spring preview the Scorpions could sit around 1-4 wins depending on the schedule. They move into a difficult district with the likes of La Cueva, Eldorado, Sandia and West Mesa. Currently they'll entire the season behind three of those four teams.
Schedules
8.26 at Durango (Colorado)
9.17 at Albuquerque
10.21 vs Eldorado
