2022 Record: 12-1 overall, 4-0 district
2022 Post Season: 3A State Champs
Best Case Scenario: 10-0 overall. The Warriors are in transition with longtime head coach Kief Johnson retiring this off-season. The program went 9-1 during the regular season in '22 and the schedule will favor making another run at 8-10 wins again. They do need to replace key players from last season and have a new head coach. 10 wins is a reach but it is the ceiling, if we are staying true to the nature of the feature. Portales was the lone loss last season and will again be a force in '23. Robertson is a 3A contender and will provide a challenge this season. The good news for the Warriors will be hosting Portales and Robertson at home this season.
Worst Case Scenario: 8-2 overall. The Warriors outscored opponents 444 to 115 last season and the schedule allows for them to reach 8-wins. Depending on the reaction to a new head coach and filling voids left from graduation, they could be one of the teams that could go under their "worst case scenario". Normally that goes against the rules of the feature. However, 8 is a high floor, and it will be a wait and see situation.
