2022 Record: 5-5 overall, 2-2 district
Best Case Scenario: 9-1 overall. This would be historic, if the Mustangs can get to 9-wins. The Mustangs have plenty of promise coming into the season with D1 recruit Elijah Brody making plays at QB. The Mustangs have four true favorite games and five coin flip games. Looking at the five losses from last season -- Volcano Vista (50-20), Cibola (35-28), Atrisco (59-54), Farmington (48-41), and La Cueva (89-62) -- only two were losses by double-digits. Settling closer to 7 is an ideal number but sticking true to the feature 9 wins would be the best case scenario.
Worst Case Scenario: 4-6 overall. Similar to the best case scenario, the Mustangs have too much returning to drop to only 4 wins this season. It would be a major let down to high expectations. They have a handful of CF games that could swing the season in a sort of make or break season.
