New Mexico High School Football Preseason Team Rankings
NMPreps preseason countdown of all 6A New Mexico high school football teams. #nmpreps
NO. 8 VOLCANO VISTA HAWKS
City: Albuquerque, NM
2021 Record: 7-5 overall, 3-2 district
2021 Playoffs: Quarterfinals (W, Carlsbad 49-17; L, La Cueva 35-21)
Head Coach: Chad Wallin
NMPreps 6A Preseason Rank: #8 (of 21)
NMPreps Top-40 Preseason Rank: Coming Soon
Preview: The Volcano Vista Hawks will enter the season with another quarterback under center but they fill the void with a nice prospect. Elliot Paskett-Bell (2023), a 6-foot-2 mobile quarterback, with athleticism and does well at improvising to make a big play for the offense when a play breakdown. The Hawks are coming off a 7-win season and this could seem high for a program that produces some serious talent each year. Keys to that are replacing number ones at - QB, RB, WR (top 2), and most talented defender. The defense looks to take a hit, due to graduation, and playing in the very difficult 1-6A could appear concerning.
Early Prediction: 5-5 overall, 1-3 district
